In this work, a flow injection analysis (FIA) method for the trace determination of lead, cadmium, nickel and cobalt in natural waters by formation of neutral chelates with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) was developed. The neutral chelates formed was retained in a mini-column packed with Linde type A zeolite (LTA) and type Y Faujasite zeolite (FAU) and then eluted with methyl isobu...

Animal bone charcoal (ABC) produced from animal bones was used as adsorbent to remove Cr(VI) from its aqueous solution . Labority experimental investigation was carried out to identify the effect of contact of time, pH, adsorbent dose and initial concentration on the adsorption of chromium from metal solution. Results showed that pH 2 was the most suitable, while the removal of Cr(VI) ions with...

background and purpose: phenol and derivatives are common pollutants of drinking water which are blamed for crucial adverse effects such as poisoning, cancer, and malformation. in this study, an activated carbon of miswak’s root (mr) was used for the removal of phenol from aqueous solutions as a low-cost and high surface adsorbent. materials and methods: adsorption experiments were then conduct...

Adsorption plays an important role in water and wastewater treatment. The analysis and design of processes that involve adsorption rely on the availability of isotherms that describe these adsorption processes. Adsorption isotherms are usually estimated empirically from measurements of the adsorption process variables. Unfortunately, these measurements are usually contaminated with errors that ...

this study reports the removal of cadmium from wastewater in batch mode, using two carbonaceous adsorbents viz. sunflower head carbon (shc) and sunflower stem carbon (ssc) prepared from waste biomass of sunflower. the adsorbents were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and energy dispersive x-ray analysis (edx). the results of bat...

The efficiency of solar heterogeneous TiO2 photocatalysis and homogeneous photo-Fenton reaction for removal of Lambda Cyhalothrin, Chlorpyrifos and Diazinon from pesticide wastewater industry was investigated. The effluent quality was not complying for discharge into sewerage network. Therefore, adsorption of the remaining portions of pesticides using powdered activated carbon (PAC) was assesse...

The sorption studies of coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) from aqueous solution have been carried out on wheat bran (WB). Coomassie brilliant blue on wheat bran was used to study the adsorption behavior under various parameters such as pH, dosage amount, and contact time. It was observed that under optimized conditions up to 95.70% dye could be removed from solution onto WB. Langmuir and Freundlic...

The adsorption behaviour of Methyl violet and Auramine yellow from aqueous solution onto Stishovite clay was investigated as a function of parameters such as initial dye concentration, contact time, p and temperature. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms. Adsorption followed pseudo-second order model. The experimental data fitted well ...
