In this study, nano-TiO2 was employed for the adsorption of chloroform from aqueous solution in batch equilibrium experiments to investigate its adsorption properties. The effects of pH, initial chloroform concentration and nano-TiO2 dosage were also investigated. Optimal conditions for chloroform removal by nano-TiO2 have been then identified. Results of equilibrium experiments showed that the...

Amorphophallus konjac fresh tubers are often used as a raw material for making food because it has fairly high nutritional content. Therefore, is very important to measure the equilibrium moisture content of andprocessed tuber. The present study aimed determine best model represent adsorption and desorption isotherms tuber slices. samples weresliced into slices (3.0 × 3.0 0.8 cm) rinsed in 0.2%...

in this study adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene on single walled carbon nanotubes has been investigated.  the effect of contact time, ph, initial concentration of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, adsorbent dosage and temperature on its adsorption has been carried out in order to find optimum adsorption conditions. adsorption isotherms and related constants were also determined. results showed that ...

varieties of st. john’s wort (hypericum perforatum l.) native to iran possess the largest percentage of hypercin in their leaves and flowers. isotherm curves show the relationship between the relative humidity and moisture content of the plant at a constant temperature. it is essential to understand the isotherms curves for successful storage and drying of the plant. this study used adsorption ...

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 ...

The water retention properties of papermaking fibers have been investigated by a "pressure plate" technique which permits measurement equilibrium moisture contents pulp samples at precisely controlled relative vapor pressures between 0.99 and 1.00. This range encompasses the interest in from table to middle drier section. Water isotherms are drawn satisfactorily related desorption reported lite...

in this work, efficiency and performance of hazelnut shells (hs) adsorbent was examined for the removal and recovery of direct red 12b (dr12b) from wastewater. the absorbance of dr12b was measured spectrophotometrically at λmax=523 nm before and after adsorption of dr12b. the maximum removal was 99.8% for 30 mg l –1 ofdr12b concentration on 0.3 gr hs adsorbent. acidic ph was favourable for the ...

fine particles silicoaluminophosphate-34 were synthesized by hydrothermal sol-gel method. the effect of crystallization time, as one of the important synthesis factors on particle size and crystallinity, kinetic and equilibrium adsorption, and selectivity of co2 / ch4 has been studied in this work. the adsorption isotherms are obtained at moderate gauge pressures (100-3000 kpa) and temperatures...

Adsorption on activated carbon is one of the most reliable and efficient technologies for the remediation of water polluted by heavy metals. In groundwater remediation, it actually found practical application in both pump-and-treat systems and permeable adsorbing barriers. One of the most significant limits to the practical adsorption of heavy metals in water streams is the absence of experimen...
