To Investigate the role played by nickel co-ions in contributing to the stability of arsenic, fluorescence XAFS measurements at both arsenic K-edge and nickel K-edge, respectively, on amorphous arsenical nickel hydroxide, crystalline arsenical nickel hydroxide, and annabergite reference compounds have been carried out. The XAFS results indicate that the arsenic-bearing nickel hydroxides have a ...

hydrothermal synthesis of nickel-chitosan hybrid  has  been accomplished using ni(ch3coo)2,4h2o, chitosan and water as starting material, template and solvent respectively, followed by calcination at 800 and 900˚c to provide nanoporous nio800  and nio900. the solid products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), nitrogen adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and four...

In this study removal of nickel(II) from aqueous solutions by adsorption on to Palmyra palm fruit seed carbon (PPFSC) and commercial activated carbon (CAC) was investigated as a function of agitation time, pH, and carbon dosage on the adsorption capacity has been studied. The metal adsorption yields increased with the increasing adsorbent dosage and contact time and reached to equilibrium for b...

Heavy metal’s release without treatment poses a significant threat to the environment. Heavy metals are non-biodegradable and persistent. In the present study the ash of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), was used to remove six metals from aqueous solutions through biosorption. Results of batch and column experiments showed excellent adsorption capacity. Removal of lead, chromium, zinc, cad...

Carbon slurry, dried in open air, has been used as an adsorbent material for the removal of nickel(II) from aqueous solutions at different experimental conditions in batch adsorption technique. The time required to attain equilibrium was found to be 50 minutes. The effects of initial concentration of Ni(II), particle size of adsorbent, adsorbent dose, temperature and pH on removal of nickel(II)...

In this work, batch adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the suitability of prepared acid activated carbons in removing heavy metal ions such as nickel(II), lead(II) and chromium(VI). Acid activated carbons were obtained from oil palm and coconut shells using phosphoric acid under similar activation process while the differences lie either in impregnation condition or in both ...

Methyl orange is one dye resulted from the textile industry. The aim of this study is to test theadsorption capacity of nickel oxide nanoparticles for removing the methyl orange from aqueoussolution. The parameters studied were the effect of temperature, contact time and initial pH ofsolution. Results indicate that the removal efficiency of nickel oxide nanoparticles increases withincreasing co...

the effective removal of dyes from aqueous wastewaters is among the most important issues formany industrialized countries. removal of congo red (cr) dye from aqueous solutions was studiedusing nickel oxide nanoparticles. the operating variables studied were initial ph of solution,adsorbents dosage, temperature and contact time. the morphological information of nickel oxidenanoparticles were ch...

An H2 molecule can bind molecularly on Ni4+ but it binds exclusively dissociatively on Ni5+ and Ni6+ and the adsorption behavior correlates with the relative reactivity of the metal clusters towards H2.
