Crystal violet (CV) was removed from aqueous solutions using walnut shell (WS) as an adsorbent. The effect of initial ph, contact time, adsorbent level and temperature on CV adsorption, were studied in batch mode. The results indicated that both the Langmuir and the Freundlich equations effectively described the adsorption equilibrium. A pseudo second-order kinetics provided a perfect fit for t...

The effects of varying operating conditions on metals removal from aqueous solution using a novel platinum nanopartcles/Zeolite-4A adsorbent are reported in this paper. Characterization of the adsorbent showed successful production of platinum nanopartcles on Zeolite-4A using 3 Wt% platinum. The effects of operation conditions on metals removal using this adsorbent were investigated. The optima...

The potential feasibility of anionic clay hydrotalcite for removal of eriochrome black dye from aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of various experimental parameters such as contact time, pH and adsorbent dosage were investigated. The extent of eriochrome black dye removal increased with the increased in contact time, pH and amount of adsorbent used. Adsorption data was fitted to th...

It is now recognized that adsorption using low-cost adsorbents is an effective and economic method for water decontamination. Chitosan is derived by deacetylation of the naturally occurring biopolymer chitin which is the second most abundant polysaccharide in the world after cellulose. In this study, the capacity of the chitosan nanoparticles was studied for the removal of the anionic Congo red...

Ghezeljeh montmorillonite nanoclay was used as a natural adsorbent to measure and remove copper ions released from the cooking pot into food by applying the solid phase extraction (SPE) method in batch mode. The clay is characterized by using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The results of XRD and FT-IR of n...

This work investigates the potential of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles as an adsorbent for separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of mefenamic acid in aquatic and biological samples, prior to spectrophotometric determination. The magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONs) were synthesized by mixing of ferrous and ferric chlorides. The possible parameters affecting the enrichment were opt...

This data article describes a facile method for production of an adsorbent from Tamarix hispida wasted wood and modified by lanthanum metal for fluoride ions removal from wastewater. The main characteristics of the adsorbent consist of BET surface area, functional groups, and elemental analysis is presented. The data for attenuating the pollutants from a real wastewater treatment which was prov...

In this data article, we introduce data acquired from new adsorbent, bi-metalized chitosan particle that is successfully synthesized and applied to remove the orange II dye, an azo dye, from textile wastewater. The adsorbent was meso- and macro-porous material with BET surface area of 12.69 m(2)/g and pHzpc 6.6. The simulated textile-wastewater can be significantly treated using a relatively lo...

A comprehensive study combining experimental, computational, and field experiments was conducted to find out the most suitable catalysis method assist industries using Congo red dye get rid of this waste from industrial wastewater in Beni-Suef area. The adsorption potential kaolinite, Liagora farinose (Egyptian marine macroalgae) kaolinite modified by macroalgae assessed for removal aqueous sol...
