in this study, the removal of as (v) from water resources by using aluminum-coated pumice as a new adsorbent was assessed. the features of the adsorbent coating layer were observed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).the effects of various parameters such as adsorbent doses, ph, contact time, arsenate initial concentration and interfering ions in arsenic adsorption...

background and objectives: activated carbon is an adsorbent which is mostly employed in order to remove dye from aqueous solutions; however, commercial activated carbon is expensive and this is considered as an obstacle for its usage. therefore, the present study aimed to use waste paper as an inexpensive precursor to produce activated carbon. materials and methods: in the present study, koh wa...

In this research, the interactions of HCN gas with pristine, Ga-, N- and GaN-doped of boron phosphide nanotube (BPNTs) were investigated by using density function theory (DFT). The structure, electrical and NQR parameters, quantum descriptors involving energy gap, global hardness, global softness, electrophilicity, electronic chemical potential and electronegativity were calculated. The adsorpt...

The potential of water hyacinth ash for phenol adsorption from aqueous solution was studied. Batch kinetic and isotherm studies were carried out under varying experimental conditions of contact time, phenol concentration, adsorbent dosage and pH. The adsorption of phenol decreased with increasing pH. The Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models were used for the mathematical description of ads...

The present work was carried out to evaluate the removal of p-nitrophenol by adsorption onto olive cake based activated carbon having a BET surface area of 672 m²/g. The batch adsorption experimental results indicated that the equilibrium time for nitrophenol adsorption by olive cake-based activated carbon was 120min. The adsorption data was modeled by equilibrium and kinetic models. The pseudo...

By using the density function theory (DFT) the adsorption of nitramine (NH2NO2) molecule on the surface of pristine and Ni functionalized of Gallium nitride nanotube (GaNNTs) is investigated. The adsorption energy of NH2NO2 molecule on the surface of pristine and Ni functionalized GaNNTs is in range ‒6.59 to ‒48.16 Kcal/mol and is physisorption type. The ∆E and ∆H values of the all adsorption m...

Adsorption of CO2 on the surface of Single-wall zigzag (5,0) and armchair (4,4) carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were studied through using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Optimizations of geometric were performed at the B3PW91 level of 6-311++G** method standard basis set using GAUSSIAN 03 package of program [1]. Structural models were optimized and adsorption energies, band gap, charge...

The adsorption of dyes in the solutions using activated sludge might be a promising approach in wastewater treatment units. The adsorption of Basic Red 18 and Basic Blue 9 from aqueous solution by dried activated sludge was investigated with in a batch system. The activated sludge had the highest dye uptake capacity, having the monolayer adsorption capacity 285.71 and 256.41 mg g(-1) for Basic ...

Adsorption is the net accumulation of a chemical species at the interface between a solid phase and an aqueous solution phase, leading to a loss from the solution phase (Sposito, 1989). Adsorption reactions can be described by various models. Empirical models provide descriptions of adsorption data without theoretical basis. Examples are the distribution coefficient, the Freundlich adsorption i...
