Molecular imprinted polymers (MIP) are considered one of the most promising selective and novel separation methods for removal phenolic compound in wastewater treatment. MIP are crosslinked polymeric materials that exhibit high binding capacity and selectivity towards a target molecule (template), purposely present during the synthesis process. In this work MIP were prepared in a bulk polymeriz...

the objective of this study was to assess the adsorption potential of activated carbon (ac) asan adsorbent for the removal of murexide (mu) from aqueous solutions. the influence of variablesparameters including ph, amount of adsorbent, sieve size of adsorbent, temperature and contact timeon mu removal was studied. following optimization of variables, the relation between concentrations ofdye re...

Recombinant human mature bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2m) has been expressed to study its adsorption onto precipitated hydroxyapatite (HA). The influence on the adsorption process of different parameters such as pH and concentrations of calcium, phosphate or NaCl has been investigated. Although the adsorption proceeds rapidly at the initial stages, the maximum adsorbed amount is reached ...

A procedure for determining the structure of vapour and gas adsorbates that is based on the Zeta adsorption isotherm is reported. For vapours and for gases, this isotherm supposes that an adsorbate consists of particle clusters with the number of particles in a cluster denoted ζ, where ζ can be 1, 2, 3… up to a maximum of ζm, and predicts the isotherm constants are independent of pressure. For ...

The present paper examines the adsorption of water by microporous carbons containing various amounts of surface oxygen an a smaller proportion of basic centres. The modelling of water adsorption for 293 and 310 K, using variable pore size distribution (PSD), confirms that the overall type IV isotherm is the sum of a type I isotherm associated with the specific interactions, and a typ V isotherm...

The mechanism, isotherms and kinetics of removal of two endocrine disrupting chemicals, 17β-estradiol (E2) and 17αethinyloestradiol (EE2) by activated carbon adsorption were investigated in an agitated non-flow batch adsorption studies. Mathematical models were used to describe the adsorption phenomenon with the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters evaluated using the adsorption equilibrium dat...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the removal of toluene from gaseous solution through Glycyrrhiza glabra root (GGR) as a waste material. The batch adsorption experiments were conducted at various conditions including contact time, adsorbate concentration, humidity, and temperature. The adsorption capacity was increased by raising the sorbent humidity up to 50 percent. The adsorption of t...

background: as fluoride concentration in drinking water is one of the effective parameters in human health, finding the ways to remove excess amount of fluoride is very important in water supply projects. this study aimed to evaluate mendon bauxite mine in the removal of fluoride from drinking water. methods: this experimental study was conducted from may to october 2013 on synthetic and actual...

This research article deals with an electrosynthesis of hydrous titanium dioxide by anodic dissolution of titanium sacrificial anodes and their application for the adsorption of manganese from aqueous solution. Titanium sheet was used as the sacrificial anode and galvanized iron sheet was used as the cathode. The optimization of different experimental parameters like initial ion concentration, ...
