In the present research, the potential of two biochars produced by the thermal decomposition of wheat straw (BCS) and wicker (BCW) for Cr(VI) ions removing from wastewater was investigated. The pH and the presence of chlorides and nitrates were also investigated. The Freundlich and Langmuir models were applied for the characterization of adsorption isotherms. The Langmuir model has better fitti...

A fundamental investigation of the biosorption of Cd2+ from aqueous solution by the edible seaweed Sargassum fusiforme was performed under batch conditions. The influences of experimental parameters, such as the initial pH, sorption time, temperature, and initial Cd2+ concentration, on Cd2+ uptake by S. fusiforme were evaluated. The results indicated that the biosorption of Cd2+ depended on the...

The sorption of a protein pair on carboxylic cation exchangers with various contents of ionogenic groups is examined. The bi-Langmuir isotherm calculation is carried out from sorption data for single-component systems. It is shown that good agreement of calculated and experimental data is reached only when protein-sorbent interaction weakens because of implementation of the competitive sorption...

abstract mefenamic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) that has analgesic,anti-infammatory and antipyretic actions. it is used to relieve mild to moderate pains. solid-phase extraction of mefenamic acid by a polymer grafted to silica gel is reported . poly allyl glycidyl ether/iminodiacetic acid-co-n, n-dimethylacrylamide was synthesized and grafted to silica gel and was used ...

This study examines the adsorption isotherms, kinetics and mechanisms of Pb²(+) sorption onto waste cow bone powder (WCBP) surfaces. The concentrations of Pb²(+) in the study range from 10 to 90 mg/L. Although the sorption data follow the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm, a detailed examination reveals that surface sorption or complexation and co-precipitation are the most important mechanisms,...

Poly urea-formaldehyde was synthesized simply and rapidly from urea and formaldehyde by condensation polymerization and studied for the sorption of trace acid blue from aqueous solution. The optimum pH value for sorption of the acid blue was 4. Experimental results showed that the sorption capacity of poly urea-formaldehyde for acid blue was determined. The synthetic polymer can be reused for 5...

In this paper, the sorption characteristics of aniline on Cr-bentonite prepared using synthetic wastewater containing chromium was investigated in a batch system at 30 degrees C. The effects of relevant parameters, such as pH value of solution, adsorbent dosage and initial aniline concentration were examined. The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich, and Temkin models ...

Arsenic, one of the most toxic and dangerous elements in the environment affecting millions of people around the world, is associated with several diseases. In this pilot study, we investigated removal of arsenate from aqueous solutions using chitosan under the influences of initial arsenic ion concentrations, pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosages of chitosan. In order to assess the sorption ...

Toxicity of cadmium to Folsomia candida was determined in soils at different pHs (3.5, 5.0, and 6.5). The Langmuir sorption constant (K(L)), based on pore-water or water-extractable concentrations, showed a pH-related increase of cadmium sorption that was most pronounced when using free Cd2+ ion activities ([Cd2+]s). Two-species Langmuir isotherms that used total cadmium concentration ([Cd]) or...
