Pyrolysis of waste biomass sawdust coupled with sorption-enhanced catalytic steam reforming the pyrolysis gases has been investigated using a novel Ni–CaO–Ca2SiO4 hybrid-functional material for enhanced hydrogen production. Using hybrid stabilized materials integrated sorption and catalysis functions overcomes thermodynamic constraint reaction equilibrium. The was prepared under different catal...

An agricultural by-product waste: orange peel was tested for the removal of four acid dyes from aqueous solutions in batch conditions. As results obtained, kinetics of dyes sorption was time of contact, initial dyes concentration and dyes type dependent. The pseudo second-order reaction rate model adequately described the kinetics of dyes sorption with high correlation coefficients. Langmuir mo...

make better predictions about the mobility of contaminants, it is critical that time-dependent metal sorption To improve predictions of the toxicity and threat from Pb contamiand desorption behavior on soil be understood, as well nated soil, it is critical that time-dependent sorption and desorption behavior be understood. In this paper, the sorption and desorption as the mechanism of the sorpt...

Soil aggregates were prepared from a bulk soil collected from paddy soil in the Taihu Lake region and aluminum (Al) dissolution, solution pH changes during copper (Cu(2+)) sorption were investigated with static sorption and magnetic stirring. Kinetics of Cu(2+) sorption and Al dissolution were also studied by magnetic stirring method. No Al dissolution was observed until Cu(2+) sorption was gre...

The sorption properties of rice husk towards Cu(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) were studied. The sorption isotherms are described by the Langmuir equation, and Pb(II) shows a higher affinity for rice husk compared to Cu(II) and Cd(II) under the same conditions. The kinetics of sorption obeys to a pseudo second-order equation for all metals. The sorption profiles as a function of the pH were used to ...

nanoparticles of manganese-dioxide synthesized by mechano-chemical reaction were used foras(iii) and as(v) sorption from water environment. the influence of a milling time of manganese-dioxide on sorption was examined with batch procedure. sorption as a function of contact time was investigated. kinetic of sorption, for both as(iii) and as(v), was fast. the equilibrium condition for milled sorb...

New activated sludge processes that utilize sorption as a major mechanism for organics removal are being developed to maximize energy recovery from wastewater organics, or as enhanced primary treatment technologies. To model and optimize sorption-based activated sludge processes, further knowledge about sorption of organics onto sludge is needed. This study compared primary-, anaerobic-, and ae...

Sorption interactions of plant cuticular matter with organic compounds are not yet fully understood. The objective of this study was to examine the competitive sorption-desorption interactions of the triazine herbicides (atrazine and ametryn) with cuticular fractions isolated from tomato fruits and leaves of Agave americana. The 13C NMR data suggest a rubber-like nature for the cutin. This biop...

The oxidation of arsenite (As(III)) via Mn-oxides is an important process for natural arsenic (As) cycling and for developing in situ strategies for remediation of As-contaminated waters. In this study, the influence of goethite (alpha-FeOOH), phosphate, and bacteria/biopolymer coatings on the initial As(III) oxidation kinetics by a hydrous Mn-oxide (delta-MnO(2)) is examined via both batch exp...
