The rates of adsorption of three commercial reactive dyes and Cu(II) from water in the absence and presence of complexing agents using chitosan were measured at 308C. Three simplified kinetic models, i.e., pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion, were tested to investigate the adsorption mechanisms. It was shown that the adsorption of reactive dyes and Cu(II) in the...

LiFePO4/C is synthesized via sol-gel method using Fe3+ as iron sources and different complexing agents, followed by sintering at high temperature for crystallization. The amount of carbon in these composites is less than 6.8 wt.%, and the X-ray diffraction experiment confirms that all samples are pure single phase indexed with the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The particle size of the LiFePO4/...

Li2Ni8O10 and LiMn2O4 Nanoparticles as cathode materials of lithium ion battery, were successfully synthesized using lithium acetate, nickel and manganese acetate as Li, Ni and Mn sources and stearic acid as a complexing reagent. The structure of the obtained products were characterized by FT-IR and XRD. The shape, size and distribution of the Li2Ni8O10 and LiMn2O4 nanoparticles were observed b...

A simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of Cu2+ in water samples was reported. In this paper, Isopropyl 2-[(isopropoxy carbothioyl)disulfanyl]ethanethioate (IIDE) in order to prepare an effective sorbent for the preconcentration and determination of Cu. The sorption capacity of Isopropyl 2-[(isopropoxy carbothioyl)disulfanyl]ethanethioate (II...

The main aim of this research is to determine optimal leaching conditions; Eh, pH and complexing agent concentrations, for recovery of Copper from hydroxide sludges such as those produced by electroplating shops, metal finishers, treatment of acid mine drainage, and industrial wastewater in general. This has been preceded by a theoretical approach and numerical and computer calculation. Pot...
