Magnetically modified activated carbon, which synthesized by nanomagnetic iron oxide, was used for fast and effective removal of Crystal Violet from aqueous solutions. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of nano-adsorbent showed that the average sizes of adsorbent are less than 100 nm. The various parameters, affecting on adsorption process, were examined including pH and temperature ...

Adsorption of ammonia from anaerobic digester effluent by magnetically modified zeolite (MMZ) has been investigated using a batch technique and comparison of adsorption isotherm equations. Adsorption isotherm models were utilized to describe the equilibrium isotherms and the isotherm constants were calculated. The sorption of ammonia follows Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) m...

We have studied the interaction of indomethacin and diclofenac solutions, on multi-walled carbon nanotube. After investigated comparative study and assigned to either indomethacin or diclofenac adsorption isotherms. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms were fitted by Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin models. It was found that the Freundlich model described the adsorption process better than othe...

Elucidating veterinary antibiotic interactions with soil is important for assessing and mitigating possible environmental hazards. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of vegetative management, soil properties, and >1000 Da dissolved organic matter (DOM) on sulfamethazine (SMZ) behavior in soil. Sorption experiments were performed over a range of SMZ concentrations (2.5-...

Plastic production pellets collected from beaches of south west England contain variable concentrations of trace metals (Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) that, in some cases, exceed concentrations reported for local estuarine sediments. The rates and mechanisms by which metals associate with virgin and beached polyethylene pellets were studied by adding a cocktail of 5 μg L(-1) of trace metals to...

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and iron oxide impregnated carbon nanotubes (CNTs-iron oxide) were investigated for the adsorption of hazardous toluene and paraxylene (p-xylene) from aqueous solution. Pure CNTs were impregnated with iron oxides nanoparticles using wet impregnation technique. Various characterization techniques including thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy...

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...
