-Well-characterized American Petroleum Institute clay standards, source clays from The Clay Minerals Society, and other secondary minerals were used to determine the effects of U concentration, temperature, and solution composition on U-sorption properties. Uranium concentrations ranged from about 1.00 x 10 -4 M to 4.00 x 10 7 M, temperatures from 5 ~ to 65~ and solution compositions containing...

Results of a systematic study on the Ag, Cd and Pb ions sorption characteristics and kinetic properties of an unconventional material produced by introducing sulphydryl functional groups into natural hemp fibers are presented and discussed. The equilibrium data are analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The monolayer sorption capacity of modified hemp is 10.75, 14.05 and 23...

This study examines the sorption of methylene blue on the cheap unconventional bio sorbents, citrus fruits: oranges and lemons. Bio sorbents which was used was: orange and lemon peel, seeds and pulp. The results are compared with results of sorption to mineral sorbents, zeolite clinoptilolite, Pyrolox and Birm. Sorption kinetics and the influence of pH on the sorption of methylene blue on orang...

Sorption of phenanthrene onto the natural sediment with low organic carbon content (OC%), organic-free sediment, and kaolinite was investigated through isotherm experiments. Effects of cosolutes (pyrene, 4-n-nonyphenol (NP), and humic acid (HA)) on phenanthrene sorption were also studied by comparing apparent solid-water distribution coefficients (K d (app)) of phenanthrene. Two addition sequen...

The influence of nonlinear sorption and prior sorbate/ sorbent exposure time on transport of fenuron and monuron in laboratory soil columns was studied. Observed monuron breakthrough curves (BTCs) were well described using a two-region transport model with a single mass-transfer rate coefficient, independent of prior sorbate/sorbent exposure history. However, levels of soil-resident postelution...

The transport and fate of many contaminants in subsurface systems can be influenced by several coupled processes, such as nonlinear, rate-limited sorption and biodegradation. We investigated the transport in soil of a model organic compound, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), influenced by nonlinear, rate-limited sorption and biodegradation. Miscible displacement and batch sorption experim...

Allyl propionate-maleic anhydride-styren terpolymer has been modified with glycerin in order to prepare a new cross-linked functional polymer sorbent. The synthesized cross-linked polymer sorbent has a network structure and contains carboxylic acid, carbonyl, hydroxy, and ester groups, all of which are capable of interacting with metal ions. The sorption behavior of UO 2 ions under optimum sorp...

We utilize isotherm models in contributing to scholarly knowledge in simple terms, to measure the forces or energy defining certain adsorption phenomenon. Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrophotometer detector (GCMS) was utilized to measure equilibrium phase atrazine after adsorption onto Shea nut Shells (SS) acid derived activated carbon. Data were fitted into the D-R and Temkin i...

The moisture sorption isotherms of Clinacanthus nutans (C. nutans) herbal leaves were established at three different temperatures 30°C, 40°C, and 50°C, water activity between 0.3–0.9 using a static gravimetric method. results showed that equilibrium content C. increased with increasing constant temperature for both desorption adsorption isotherms. In contrast, the decreased when all exhibited T...
