BACKGROUND/AIMS Cytokines play important roles in the pathophysiology of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis. Therefore, some effective measures to remove cytokines from the bloodstream could be effective in the treatment of SIRS and sepsis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytokine adsorptive property of various adsorbents for the purpose of the development of ne...

A highly selective ligand exchange type adsorbent was developed for the removal of trace arsenic(V) (As(V)) and phosphate from water. This adsorbent was prepared by loading zirconium(IV) on monophosphonic acid resin. This adsorbent was able to remove toxic anions efficiently at wide pH ranges. However, low pH was preferable for maximum breakthrough capacity in an adsorption operation. The effec...

Abstract A new adsorbent, ethylene glycol bisthioglycolate modified gold nanoparticles grafted Mn doped Fe3O4 nanoparticles (EGBTG-Au@Mn-Fe3O4 NPs) were synthesized through chemical precipitation followed by an oxidative Mn doping process to use for extraction and preconcentration of trace amounts of Hg, and Cu ions in artificial and natural saliva. The prepared adsorbent was characterize...

In some part of the world, groundwater source can become unsafe for drinking due to the high concentration of fluoride ions [1]. The low cost and facile-produced adsorbent like palm stone could effectively removed fluoride ions through adsorption process. In this dataset, the influence of fluoride ion concentration, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time on fluoride ion adsorption by p...

Removal of cadmium from aqueous solution was studied; using platanus orientalis leaves (POL) and their ash in 2006 in Iran. Bach adsorption experiments were performed as a function of solute concentration, contact time, pH and ironic strength for the experiment. The effect of Ca , Mg , Na and K on adsorption was 2+ 2+ + then examined. The effect of this adsorbent on COD in aqueous solution show...

The aim of this study was to examine the use of polyamide 6 nanofibers as an adsorbent material for removal of dye on textile wastewater. Simulated wastewater of acid dye (namely Color Index Acid blue 41) was used for experiment test with concentration of 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03g/L. Two kinds of electrospun polyamide 6 nanofibrous membranes with weight per unit area respectively 1.0 and 2.9g/m2 wer...

The application of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in an unmodified form as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) dye removal in waste water at 303–333K was investigated. Effects of operational parameters such as adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and pH were determined for optimum conditions for maximum dye removal. Results obtained showed that dye removal efficiency increases as the amount...

A 5’-deoxyadenosylcobalamin-agarose adsorbent has been prepared for the purification by affinity chromatography of enzymes which require 5’-deoxyadenosylcobalamin as a coenzyme. The synthesis involved the covalent attachment of cyanocobalamin to agarose through a 12 carbon chain. This hydrocarbon chain was attached to the corrin nucleus by reacting diaminododecane with cyanocobalamin e-carboxyl...

The adsorption of Triton X-100 in aqueous solution on the granite sand has been investigated to evaluate its ability as an adsorbent. Various parameters such as agitation time, adsorbent dose, adsorbent size, initial concentration of adsorbate, pH, temperature, and effect of interference ions were studied on the laboratory scale to establish optimum conditions for the removal of TX-100 from the...

Immobilization of Chetoceros sp microalgae with silica as supporting matrix has been carried out through encapsulation technique with using solution of Na2SiO3 sol. Identification of functional groups and surface morphology from adsorbent obtained was performed with utilizing infrared spectrophotometer (IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Adsorption process of Pb(II) ion on adsorbent wa...
