This paper investigates the potential of nano zero valent iron impregnated cashew nut shell nanoparticles (NZVI-CNS) as an effective adsorbent for the removal of phenol from aqueous solution. The effect of initial pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time and temperature were determined by batch adsorption experiments. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were applied to the adsorption e...

The removal mechanisms of silicate using an aluminum hydroxide co-precipitation process was investigated and compared with an adsorption process, in order to establish an effective and validated method for silicate removal from wastewater. Adsorption isotherms, XRD and FT-IR analyses showed that silicate uptake occurred by adsorption to boehmite for initial Si/Al molar ratios smaller than two, ...
