In this work, zeolite 13X with porosity structure has been used as an adsorbent for adsorption of CO2 flue gas. The effect of operating conditions including pressure and time on adsorption capacity were investigated. The experiments conditions are constant temperature, the range of pressure 1 - 9 bar and the registration of adsorption capacity with passing of time. Experimental data were adjust...

A semimechanistic multi-reaction kinetic model was developed to describe the enzymatic hydrolysis of a lignocellulosic biomass, creeping wild ryegrass (CWR; Leymus triticoides). This model incorporated one homogeneous reaction of cellobiose-to-glucose and two heterogeneous reactions of cellulose-to-cellobiose and cellulose-to-glucose. Adsorption of cellulase onto pretreated CWR during enzymatic...

An agricultural waste i.e. rice husk has been used as a cheap adsorbent for the removal ofleadas a harmful heavy metal from contaminated water via adsorption. The adsorption capacity of rice husk was calculated by equilibrium models. The results showed that the adsorption process has the best accordance with Langmuir model. The kinetics of the adsorption was also investigated and obtained that ...

Nickel (Ni) as a heavy metal due to its toxicity should be removed from wastewater and aquatic environments  using  efficient  technology.  The  aim  of this  study  was  to  remove  Ni  from  an aqueous  solution  using  palm  leaf  ash  produced  in  a  furnace.  To  do  so,  kinetic  and thermodynamic experiments were conducted on the adsorption process. Moreover, the effect of time, pH, ads...

Background: Natural organic matters (NOMs) have the main role in formation of trihalomethanes. These compounds are in natural water sources due to biological activities. In the presented study, adsorption and separation of humic acid as an index of natural organic matters using multi-walled carbon nanotubes is evaluated. Methods: The experiments were carried out in bath adsorption reactors wit...

background: the presence of lead in natural waters has become an important issue around the world. lead has been identified as a highly toxic metal that can cause severe environmental and public health problems and its decontamination is of utmost importance. the aim of this work was to evaluate the adsorption of lead (pb(ii)) on waste tea leaves as a cheap purification method. methods: in this...

Background and purpose:The presence of dyes in wastewaters may cause serious problems for the environment because of their high toxicity to aquatic organisms and unfavorable aesthetical impact. In the present study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used for removal of anionic dyes Direct Blue 106 (DB106) and Acid Green 25 (AG25), from water samples. Materials and Methods:MWCNTs were ...

The extraction of gold involves using cyanide which has the potential to impact the environment. Many studies have been done to reduce the environmental effects of cyanide. In this research, the cyanide adsorption on zeolite from gold processing plant tailing dam wastewater was investigated. Results indicated that the pH of the solution, contact time duration, temperature, zeolite amo...

adsorption and desorption behavior of gd(iii) ionon macroporous weak acid resin (mwar) had been investigated.the influence of operational conditions such as contact time, initial concentration of gd(iii) ion, initial ph of solution and temperature on the adsorption of gd(iii) ion had been examined. experimental data were exploited for kinetic and thermodynamic evaluations related to the adsorpt...

In this research, Activated Carbon (AC) was modified using a sodium hydroxide solution for CO2 adsorption. Adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch reactor at a temperature range of 20-80°C and a pressure range of 2-10 bars to investigate kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic of the CO2 adsorption process. Activated carbon was modified with NaOH solution conce...
