The need to develop effective technology for the treatment of liquid effluent dye-intensive industries such as textile, rubber, paint, and printing is synonymous with save life-threatening risks posed by these carcinogenic mutagenic pollutants on human aquatic lives. Isotherms adsorption crystal violet (CV) activated carbon (AC) synthesized from rice husk are presented herewith elucidate mechan...

Acid and thermal treated sepiolite was organophilized by cationic exchange with several alkylammonium cations (octylammonium, hexadecylammonium, tetradecyltrimethylammonium, hexadecyltrimethylammonium). The adsorption capacity of BTEX from aqueous solutions evaluated through the isotherms performed in batch. results were analysed using three isotherm models: Freundlich, Langmuir Dubinin-Radushk...

Abstract Adsorbed methane significantly affects shale gas reservoir estimates and transport in formations. Hence, a practical model for accurately representing adsorption behavior at high-pressure high-temperature is imperative. In this study, reliable mathematical framework that the absolute directly from low-pressure excess data applied to describe literature. This method provides detailed in...

Polypores (woody pore fungi) biomass has been used as an biosorbent for the removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution under batch equilibrium experimental conditions. The resulting biosorbent is characterized by SEM and FTIR techniques. The effect of experimental parameters, such as solution pH, biomass dosage, contact time, initial metal ion concentration and temperature of Pb(II) and...

In this study, the adsorption behavior of zeolites A and X, which are prepared from very cheap local Egyptian clay (kaolin), with respect to Cu(2+), Cd(+2), Cr(+2), Ni(+2) and Zn(2+) has been studied. The batch method has been employed, using metal solutions ranging from 100 to 400 mg/L. The distribution coefficients (K(d)) and adsorption percent were determined for the adsorption system as a f...

Reduced graphene oxide-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI/rGO) composites were synthesized in the present study by chemical deposition method and were then characterized by various methods, such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The nZVI/rGO composites prepared were utilized for Cd(II) removal from aqueous solutions in batch mo...

The removal of copper from aqueous solution by Amberjet 1500H, Amberjet 1300H and Amberlite IRC86 ion exchange resins is described. The Amberjet 1500H shows a remarkable increase in sorption capacity for copper compared to other adsorbents. The adsorption process shows maximum removal of copper in pure aqueous solution for an initial copper concentration of 5.98 mmol/L. The metal ions adsorptio...

Gymnogongrus torulosus adsorption efficiency for cadmium(II), copper(II), lead(II) and zinc(II) were studied in batch mode in different acidic conditions. The adsorbent removal efficiency was determined as a function of contact time, initial metal ions concentration, pH and temperature. G. torulosus was characterized by SEM, water adsorption surface area and EDS. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubin...
