abstract uranium is a natural heavy metal widely dispersed across the earth crust. in many cases due to anthropogenic disturbance, it has been found beyond its natural abundance which resulted in soil-water pollution. the objective of this study was to investigate the capability of iranian natural zeolite clinoptilolite for removal of uranium (vi) from aqueous solutions. in order to optimize re...

in the present study seven synthetic polymers were used as adsorbents for the removal of cd(ii) from aqueous solution. the equilibrium studies were systematically carried out in a batch process, covering various process parameters that include agitation time, adsorbent dosage, and ph of the aqueous solution. the analyzing system was an atomic absorption spectrometer (perkin-analyst 100). it was...

In this study, the adsorption behavior of anionic dyes from aqueous solution onto mesoporous carbon material (CMK-1) and modified with polymer (PANI/CMK-1) has been investigated as a function of parameters such as adsorbent dose (0.08-0.8 g/L), solution pH 3–10, contact time and initial concentration (10-100 mg/L). The influence of these parameters on the adsorption capacity has been studied us...

The cytotoxicity of fishes resulting from the presence various industrial dyes in effluents is a significant global concern. This study aims to synthesize Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO) using natural reducing agent lime juice. synthesis process uses modified Hummer method. Langmuir and Freundlich Isothermal equations are used adsorption character MG RGO. kinetics was studied first second order eq...

Thermodynamic studies on the bioadsorption of Cr(III) onto Agave lechuguilla biomass were conduced. The experimental results at different temperatures were modeled using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms to obtain the characteristic parameters of each model. Both the Freundlich and Langmuir models were found to represent the bioadsorption process. The average adsorption capacities calculate...

This paper reports on the adsorption of Cr(VI), Cu(II) and Pb(II) from laboratory solution by the use of Chelex 100 (C100) and Amberlite IRA400 ion exchange resins. Metal loading at initial pHs of 3 to 8 at 1-100 mg/L were studied based on Q max and K f values of the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, respectively. Lead was sorbed the most (Q max = 75.19 mg/g, at pH 6), followed by Cu (Q ...

Activated carbon prepared from Cucumis Melo Peel was used as adsorbent for the removal of chromium ion from aqueous solution. Adsorption experiments were performed by varying initial metal ion concentration, temperature, and pH. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms were used to analyze the equilibrium data obtained at different adsorption conditions. Adsorption results obtained, shows that the Cr ...

In this work, we removed copper (II) from an aqueous solution by using zeolite modified with a silicon-organic monomer (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane; APTES) depending on the pH, time, temperature, and initial concentration of Cu(II) ions. To confirm modification process assess interaction between Cu(II), performed instrumental analyses (XRD, SEM/EDX, TGA/DTA, BET, FT-IR, XPS). We determined max...

In this study, the ability of maize cobs to bind Zn(II) and Ni(II) was investigated as a function of initial metal ions concentration, at pH = 7.5. Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models expressed the sorption phenomena of metal ions on the maize cobs. The best results were obtained for Freundlich isotherms. On the bases of this study, it may be concluded that maize cobs can be used as low-c...
