In this study, carbon was easily made from walnut wood as a low-cost and non-toxic natural adsorbent. Ziziphusspina-christi (ZSAC), an excellent adsorbent, were successfully synthesized by an in chemical vapor deposition method and used for the removal of Bismark Brown(BB) dye from aqueous solution. The as-synthesized Ziziphusspina-christi (ZSAC) were characterized by FT-IR technique. Various o...

Water pollution caused by the lead(II) from the spent liquor has caught much attention. The research from the theoretical model to application fundaments is of vital importance. In this study, lead(II) adsorption isotherms are investigated using a series of hybrid membranes containing mercapto groups (-SH groups) as the hybrid adsorbents. To determine the best fitting equation, the experimental...

in the present work, we have investigated the sorption efficiency of the treated activated carbon from walnut shell(acw) towards direct red 81 (dr81) and direct blue 71 (db71) for the removal from aqueous solution. thesorption study of acw at the solid-liquid interface was investigated using kinetic, sorption isotherms, ph effectand amount of adsorbent. experimental data were analyzed by langmu...

The aim of this work was to obtain information about interactions between polyphenols and β-glucan through linear adsorption equilibrium models. Polyphenolic compounds can interact with various food ingredients such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids and these interactions can affect polyphenol bioactivities. Interactions can be studied through the adsorption process at a constant temperatur...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the removal of toluene from gaseous solution through Glycyrrhiza glabra root (GGR) as a waste material. The batch adsorption experiments were conducted at various conditions including contact time, adsorbate concentration, humidity, and temperature. The adsorption capacity was increased by raising the sorbent humidity up to 50 percent. The adsorption of t...

The role of enzyme engineering in biotechnology, biological and pharmaceutical process cannot be over emphasized. This study compared the adsorption of digestives enzymes; amylase, protease and lipase on to Zn-ferrite (ZnFe2O4). The metal ferrite was synthesized via a sol-gel technique and characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electron paramagnetic reso...

The presence of arsenic in drinking water is one of the greatest threats to public health. The aim of this experimental investigation was to study the removal efficiency of As(v) from water by application of iron-impregnated activated carbon(Fe-AC). Coating of activated carbon with iron salt was carried out by impregnation method and thermochemical reactions with using of 100 mM FeCl3 solution....

Adsorption is considered a cost-effective procedure, safer to handle with high removal efficiency. Activated alumina is the most commonly used adsorbent for the removal of arsenic from aqueous solutions. However, activated alumina has a low adsorption capacity and acts kinetically in a slow manner. An ideal adsorbent should have a high surface area, physical and/or chemical stability and be ine...

Background: Drugs, especially antibiotics, are one of the serious problems of modern life and the main pollution sources of the environment, especially in the last decade, which are harmful to human health and environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of penicillin G from aqueous solutions using single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Methods: In this study, t...

Activated carbon prepared from coir pith (ZnCPC) using ZnCl2 was investigated to find the feasibility of its application for removal of 2,4–dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in aqueous solution through adsorption process. Batch mode kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out to evaluate the effects of contact time, initial concentration, adsorbent dose, pH, and temperature. Lagergren, Second order, ...
