A biosorbent prepared from Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed biomass, FCAN2, was examined for its sorption capacity. Equilibrium batch sorption studies were performed using two-matal systems containing either (Cu + Zn), (Cu + Cd), or (Zn + Cd). In the evaluation of the two-metal sorption system performance, simple isotherm curves had to be replaced by three-dimensional sorption isotherm surfaces. In ...

This research article deals with an electrosynthesis of hydrous titanium dioxide by anodic dissolution of titanium sacrificial anodes and their application for the adsorption of manganese from aqueous solution. Titanium sheet was used as the sacrificial anode and galvanized iron sheet was used as the cathode. The optimization of different experimental parameters like initial ion concentration, ...

The ability of Clinoptilolite powder to adsorb Ni (II) ions from wastewater which was taken from a nickel plating factory was investigated through batch experiments. The Ni (II) adsorption was found to be dependent on mass of adsorbent, contact time, pH value of solution and the speed of agitation. The experimental isotherms data were fitted into Langmuir and Freundlich models. The monolayer ad...

The sorption of a protein pair on carboxylic cation exchangers with various contents of ionogenic groups is examined. The bi-Langmuir isotherm calculation is carried out from sorption data for single-component systems. It is shown that good agreement of calculated and experimental data is reached only when protein-sorbent interaction weakens because of implementation of the competitive sorption...

The adhesion of granulocytes to a glass surface is both theoretically and experimentally investigated. The basic results are: (i) The adherence process of cells to a surface can be described by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm which also holds for the adsorption of molecules to a substrate. (ii) The granulocytes do not interact with each other during the adsorption/desorption process. (iii) The...

the sorption behavior of loofa-immobilized phanerochaete chrysosporium mycelia in two forms, live (l) and heat-inactivated (hia), was studied for the removal of hg2+ ions from aqueous solution. using the langmuir isotherm, the two key parameters for the sorption performance, qm and the coefficient b, were obtained; the qm values for hg2+ ions were 72.46 mg/g and 92.59 mg/g and the b coefficient...

adsorption of p-nitrophenol by three different activated carbons (f100, s.e.i. and b.d.h.) was carried out at 301 k and at controlled ph conditions. two different adsorption models (langmuir model and freundlich model) were studied and compared. the adsorption capacity of the carbons depends on the point of zero charge (pzc) and surface area of the carbons. adsorption of the solute at higher ph...

In this paper, the sorption characteristics of aniline on Cr-bentonite prepared using synthetic wastewater containing chromium was investigated in a batch system at 30 degrees C. The effects of relevant parameters, such as pH value of solution, adsorbent dosage and initial aniline concentration were examined. The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich, and Temkin models ...

Agricultural solid waste (corn cob) has been investigated asbiosorbent for removal of metribuzin herbicide from aqueous solution. Parameters influencing extraction efficiency such as pH of the sample, contact time of sample with biosorbent, shaking time, temperature, heating time, sorbent dose were studied. Maximum sorption of metribuzinwas found at pH 5.0. The sorption of metribuzin on corn co...

Rhodamine B (Rh B) is a toxic dye that is harmful to the environment, humans, and animals, and thus the discharge of Rh B wastewater has become a critical concern. In the present study, reduced graphene oxide-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI/rGO) was used to treat Rh B aqueous solutions. The nZVI/rGO composites were synthesized with the chemical deposition method and were characterize...
