Polyaniline titanotungstate (PATiW) was synthesized by the sol-gel method. Adsorption isotherm studies of Cs from aqueous solution are described. Elemental Composition, chemical solubility, ion-exchange capacity (IEC) and pH titration are studied. Distribution coefficients (Kd) for ten metal ions have been determined. It was found that the polyaniline titanotungstate has high affinity and high ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the capacity of natural Turkish zeolite for NH4-N removal from landfill leachate. The effects of modification and initial concentration on the removal of NH4-N from leachate were also investigated. The kinetics of adsorption of NH4-N has been discussed using three kinetic models, i.e., the pseudo-second order model, the Elovich equation, the intrapart...

present study dealt the removal of cr(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater using rice husk silica powder as an adsorbent.the experimental investigations have been carried out by using rice husk silica powder for different adsorption dosage, different contact time and different ph against the initial cr(vi) concentration of 292 mg/l. the maximum percentage removal of cr(vi) in the tannery indust...

Adsorption characteristics of potentially toxic metals in single- and multi-metal forms onto ferronickel slag were evaluated. Competitive sorption of metals by ferronickel slag has never been reported previously. The maximum adsorption capacities of toxic metals on ferronickel were in the order of Cd (10.2 mg g(-1)) > Cu (8.4 mg g(-1)) > Zn (4.4 mg g(-1)) in the single-metal adsorption isotherm...

The present work investigates the equilibrium adsorption of Chrysene on multi-walled carbon nanotubes at 293, 303 and 313°K, and determines the equilibrium adsorption isotherms and thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS). The values of ΔH and ΔG suggested that the adsorption of Chrysene onto MWCNTs was endothermic and nonspontaneous.The experimental data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlic...

The role of enzyme engineering in biotechnology, biological and pharmaceutical process cannot be over emphasized. This study compared the adsorption of amylase and protease on to manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4). The metal ferrite was synthesized via a sol – gel technique and characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electron paramagnet...

Arsenic, one of the most toxic and dangerous elements in the environment affecting millions of people around the world, is associated with several diseases. In this pilot study, we investigated removal of arsenate from aqueous solutions using chitosan under the influences of initial arsenic ion concentrations, pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosages of chitosan. In order to assess the sorption ...

the interaction between some heavy metal ions such as of pb(ii), cd(ii) and cu(ii) ions from aqueous solution adsorbed by single walled carbon nanotube (swcnts) and carboxylate group functionalized single walled carbon nanotube (swcnt-cooh) surfaces were studied by atomic absorption spectroscopy. the effect of contact time, ph, initial concentration of ion, ionic strength and temperature on the...
