The main aim of the paper is to evaluate ferroprecipitates as immobilization agents for removing selected surfactants from aqueous solutions. Two ferro-precipitates based on iron oxides were used. Adsorbents were varied both in elementary composition and mineral composition. Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) was used as a model anionic surfactant. Simultaneous measurements of the surfactant’s adsor...

Neutron reflection and adsorption isotherm measurements have been used to study the adsorption behaviour of hexanoic acid onto α-alumina surfaces. Importantly, the pH dependence of the behaviour has been characterised with a pronounced maximum in adsorption identified at a pH of approximately 5, close to the pKa of the acid. The adsorbed layer is identified as a bilayer, which is reasonable giv...

In this paper we used a previously reported model for examining the adsorption of nonelectrolytes in solution by solid adsorbents to study the adsorption of lithium(I) cations by acid and sodium amberlites, which is an ion-exchange process. Based on the results, both are equilibrium processes and obey a kinetic law with a unity partial order in the Li+ concentration. The kinetic results were us...

BACKGROUND Continuous dialysis could provide benefit by constant removal of potassium and phosphate. This study investigates the suitability of specific potassium and phosphate sorbents for incorporation in an extracorporeal device by capacity and regenerability testing. METHODS Capacity testing was performed in uraemic plasma. Regenerability was tested for potassium sorbents, with adsorption...

in this study, the adsorption of thallium (iii) ion from aqueous solutions onto modified znonanopowder as a fairly low cost adsorbent has been investigated in batch mode. it was found thatmodification of the adsorbent was essential for obtaining the significant adsorption percentage. theadsorbent modified by sodium phosphate solution. the effect of experimental parameters such asinitial ph of s...

In order to reduce the iron impurities in magnesite ore and improve purity of magnesium products, difference floatability between limonite has been studied by using mixtures with a collecting agent—KD (cationic amine collectors, containing soluble components). Sodium hexametaphosphate, pH, sodium silicate, carboxymethyl cellulose were used as regulators. Adsorption mechanisms reagents on minera...

The structural, electronic, electrochemical as well as diffusion properties of Na doped phosphorene have been investigated based on first-principles calculations. The strong binding energy between Na and phosphorene indicates that Na could be stabilized on the surface of phosphorene without clustering. By comparing the adsorption of Na atoms on one side and on both sides of phosphorene, it has ...
