The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of nano-sized cellulose obtained from rice husk for Cr(VI) adsorption. The effect of operational parameters including initial pH (3-10), contact time (0-120 min), adsorbent dosage (0.2-1.5 g/L), and initial Cr(VI) concentration (5-50 mg/L) were investigated according to one factor at time method. The results showed, in pH=6, contact time=100 ...

Fluoride removal from water is being investigated using a natural adsorbent derived from bark of pinus kesiya. Batch studies were performed to study the effect of adsorbent dose, contact time, initial fluoride concentration and pH on the removal efficiency. The fluoride adsorption varies over wide range of pH and best in between 3 – 8. The rate of adsorption was rapid and maximum removal took p...

interaction of pb(ii) ion with modified banana shell (mbs) and banana shell (bs) during adsorption fromaqueous solution were investigated. batch experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of contact time,ph, and idmid ion concentration on adsorption efficiency. the favorable pll for maxim= pb(ii) adsorptionwas at 5.0. for the investigated imoi) concentrations (10-80 mph), maximum ad...

methyl orange is one dye resulted from the textile industry. the aim of this study is to test theadsorption capacity of nickel oxide nanoparticles for removing the methyl orange from aqueoussolution. the parameters studied were the effect of temperature, contact time and initial ph ofsolution. results indicate that the removal efficiency of nickel oxide nanoparticles increases withincreasing co...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus was observed to adsorb onto chitin particles and copepods. The efficiency of adsorption was found to be dependent on pH and on the concentration of NaC1 and other ions found in seawater. Highest efficiency was observed in water samples collected from Chesapeake Bay and lowest in water from the open sea. V. parahaemolyticus was found to adborb onto chitin with the high...

presence of heavy metals in the aquatic systems has become a serious problem. as a result, therehas been a great deal of attention given to new technologies for removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated waters. adsorption is one of the effective methods for removal of toxic heavy metal such as chromium (vi). in the present study, adsorbent is prepared from rice husk, a low cost by product f...

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 ...
