bokbunja seed wastes from a wine manufacturing industry were used to prepare carbon for the purpose of using it as an adsorbent for the removal of reactive blue 4 from aqueous solutions. a part of prepared carbon was treated with n-hexane to remove the seed oil present in large amounts in bokbunja seeds. it was found that the hexane treated carbon was more efficient in removing the dye from aqu...

Abstract In this work, malachite green dye was removed from an aqueous effluent using acerola seed as adsorbent. The adsorbent characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, zero charge potential, and acid group concentration techniques. findings revealed that the has a characteristic composition of lignocellulosic materials, described FTIR data, besides having pH-PZC 3....

Adsorption characteristics of potentially toxic metals in single- and multi-metal forms onto ferronickel slag were evaluated. Competitive sorption of metals by ferronickel slag has never been reported previously. The maximum adsorption capacities of toxic metals on ferronickel were in the order of Cd (10.2 mg g(-1)) > Cu (8.4 mg g(-1)) > Zn (4.4 mg g(-1)) in the single-metal adsorption isotherm...

Biomass derived from Tamarindus indica partially activated seed coat was investigated for the removal of nitrate ions from aqueous solutions. Batch experiments were performed to evaluate the parameters like pH, contact time, sorbent dose and initial nitrate concentration. pH of the solution played vital role. The maximum sorption observed at pH=7, sorbent dose 300mg, contact time at 120min, ini...

the recovery and removal of the most organic acids in liquid solutions is usually treated with fixed-bed adsorption processes. among many adsorbents, granular activated carbon (gac) is used to remove organic pollutants such as benzoic acid (ba) from wastewaters conventionally. in this research, adsorption isotherm curves of ba onto gac at varying temperatures 25-60 °c are developed and the amou...

Parameters from single-component isotherm models were used in multicomponent isotherm models to predict the aqueous phase sorption of trichloroethylene (TCE) in the presence of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in four zeolites, Tenax, and three natural solids. The Langmuir, the Polanyi-Dubinin, and the Freundlich or the Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm models were used to simulate single-component sorptio...

For the first time we apply a new method based on the mathematical derivation of some known isotherm from the Burr function which describes many birth-death (sorption-desorption) phenomena in ecology and economy. Therefore, in this study the experimental isotherm data of biosorption of Pb(II) onto algae was modeled to Langmuir, Hill-Sips, Brouers-Sotolongo, BrouersGaspard, and Redlich-Peterson ...

Influences on viability and germination of seeds have been studied intensively for many years, particularly for the numer-ous commercially important agricultural, ornamental, and timber species. High germinating seed lots may differ substantially in field emergence when sown at the same time in the same field, and/or may differ in performance after storage in the same environment or transport t...
