In this work, a new synthesized Y-type zeolite with an Si/Al molar ratio of 2.5 (NaY) was modified with amines, in order to probe the influence of the modification of the adsorbent’s surface on CO2 adsorption. The three selected amines were diethanolamine, tetraethylenepentamine, and 2- methylaminoethanol. The surface nature of NaY was changed after amine modification, which causes a...

the adsorption and desorption properties of sqd-85 resin for cu(ii) had been investigated. a series of experiments were conducted in a batch system to assess the effect of the system variables, i.e. initial ph, contact time and temperature. the results show that the optimal ph for the adsorption was 5.99 in the hac-naac system, and the maximum adsorption capacity was estimated to 324 mg/g at 29...

classical xerogels are robust, inexpensive and nontoxic materials with low-ordered nanoporous structures. in water streams where the ph is higher than the point of zero charge, the surface of classical xerogels such as tetraethoxy orthosilan (teos) xerogel is negatively charged. it was assumed that a xerogel can work as a strong adsorbent for metal ions without further modification. therefore, ...

Understanding anion adsorption mechanisms is necessary to allow prediction of anion adsorption behavior. This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of the triple layer model, a chemical surface complexation model, to describe the effect of changes in solution ionic strength (0.01-1.0 M NaCl) and solution pH (3-11) on B adsorption by the iron oxide, goethite, the aluminum oxide, gibbsite, ...

This paper describes a preliminary study of the adsorption of toxic elements from synthetic wastewater in a batch mode. Clay minerals have been highly considered as inexpensive available adsorbents that adapt with the environment due to a special level and a high potential of adsorption. In the present research work, low-cost natural minerals of speiolite from the Iliato mine (located in NE Ir...

In this work, three types of natural clays including kaolinite, montmorillonite, and illite with different molecular structures, as adsorbents, are selected for the removal of methylene blue dye, and their performance is investigated. Also the optimization and the analysis of the dye adsorption mechanism are performed using the response surface methodology, molecular modeling, and experimental ...

a mathematical model is described and applied for adsorption process of ethyl acetate from supercritical co2 stream on activated carbon particles. this model has the ability of illustrating variation of effluent concentration towards different parameters such as flow rate, temperature and pressure. in this research, a vast area of operational conditions is experienced. mass transfer resistance ...

the present work was carried out to evaluate the removal of p-nitrophenol by adsorption onto olive cake based activated carbon having a bet surface area of 672 m²/g. the batch adsorption experimental results indicated that the equilibrium time for nitrophenol adsorption by olive cake-based activated carbon was 120min. the adsorption data was modeled by equilibrium and kinetic models. the pseudo...
