A monolithic carbon aerogel with a specific pore texture was used as benzene adsorbent. Adsorption was carried out under static conditions at 25 C and at saturation, an adsorption capacity as high as 0.77 cm.g or 837 mg.g was obtained. This work is devoted to the application of carbon aerogels for the removal of hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol from aqueous solutions. These materials were ...

Samples of commercial activated carbons (AC) obtained from different sources: Norit E Supra USP, Norit B Test EUR, and ML (Baracoa, Cuba) were investigated. The adsorption of acetaminophen, Co = 2500 mg/L, occured in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) at pH 1.2 in contact with activated carbon for 4 h at 310 K in water bath with stirring. Residual acetaminophen was monitored by UV visible. The resul...

in the present investigation, shells of pistachio are used as adsorbents and they have been successfully used for the removal of blue 56, from water samples. the effect of various parameters such as: ph, amounts of adsorbents, size of adsorbent particles and contact time on removal processing were investigated. in this study freundlich absorption isotherms and langmuir were investigated . the e...

In the present work, we have investigated the sorption efficiency of the treated activated carbon from walnut shell(ACW) towards Direct Red 81 (DR81) and Direct Blue 71 (DB71) for the removal from aqueous solution. Thesorption study of ACW at the solid-liquid interface was investigated using kinetic, sorption isotherms, pH effectand amount of adsorbent. Experimental data were analyzed by Langmu...

Rice husk carbon (RHC) has been prepared from rice husk impregnated with 50% H3P04 and carbonised at 300°C. Its adsorption capacity has been tested for the decolourization of wastewater containing safranine and methylene blue. The effect of system variables such as concentration, temperature, pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage and particle size are investigated. Removal of dye has been found to...

This paper presents the feasibility of removal of basic dye malachite green from aqueous solutions by using a low cost AC-MnO2-NC. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of pH, contact time, initial concentration of the adsorbate, adsorbent dosage and temperature . Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin isotherms were also studied . Pseudo first order, Pseudo second order , intra...

This article describes the use of a power plant waste-Bottom Ash, as effective adsorbent for the removal of toxic Azo dyes Carmoisine and Chrysoidine Y from their aqueous solution. The paper incorporates comparative study and discussion of the adsorption characteristics of these dyes on the economically effective adsorbent with special emphasis on the effects of time and temperature. The charac...

The studies on removal of Vanadium were conducted using Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) in combination with Chelating agents. Ethylene di-amine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA) and Nitrilo Tri Acetic Acid (NTA) at 25oC. The adsorption Efficiency was studied in the pH range of 2-8. The results reveals that Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms are followed during adsorption process with the chelating agen...

Spectrophotometric method using diphenylcarbazide as a colour developing reagent has been used to analyze the chromium content in tannery effluent located in Bara and Parsa districts of Nepal and Sirsiya River which is an ultimate drainage of these waste water streams. The adsorption of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution onto formaldehyde treated sawdust and charcoal of sugarcane begasse...

Polyaniline/cerium oxide (PANI/CeO2) composites were prepared and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms and TEM techniques. The PANI/CeO2 composites were used for removal of Remazol Red (RB-133) from aqueous solution. The adsorption behaviour of dye was studied at different experimental conditions of solution pH and reaction temperature. The adsorption isotherm s...
