BACKGROUND/AIMS Cytokines play important roles in the pathophysiology of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis. Therefore, some effective measures to remove cytokines from the bloodstream could be effective in the treatment of SIRS and sepsis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytokine adsorptive property of various adsorbents for the purpose of the development of ne...

Total amount of uranium resource in seawater is one thousand times of that in terrestrial ores. A polymeric adsorbent being capable of collecting uranium in seawater was developed in early 1980s, since uranium is inevitable resource to operate atomic power plants. This adsorbent fabric was synthesized by radiation-induced graft polymerization which could impart a desired functional group into f...

In this data article, we introduce data acquired from new adsorbent, bi-metalized chitosan particle that is successfully synthesized and applied to remove the orange II dye, an azo dye, from textile wastewater. The adsorbent was meso- and macro-porous material with BET surface area of 12.69 m(2)/g and pHzpc 6.6. The simulated textile-wastewater can be significantly treated using a relatively lo...

BACKGROUND Removal of mercury from aqueous environment has been highly regarded in recent years and different methods have been tested for this purpose. One of the most effective ways for mercury ions (Hg(+2)) removal is the use of modified nano porous compounds. Hence, in this work a new physical modification of mesoporous silica (SBA-15) with 1, 3, 5 (Trithiane) as modifier ligand and its app...

A new modified silica gel doped with 5-(4-dimethylaminobenzylidene)-rhodanine was prepared for separation, preconcentration and determination of silver ion by atomic absorption spectrometry. This new modified silica gel was used as an effective adsorbent for the solid phase extraction of Ag(+) from aqueous solutions. The variables that influence the adsorption/desorption of trace levels of Ag(+...

A method has been developed for the selective solid phase extraction of Pd(II) based on the adsorption of its 5(p-dimethylaminobenzylidene)rhodanine (PDR) complex on silica gel-polyethylene glycol (Silica-PEG) as a new synthesized adsorbent. The adsorbed complex was eluted using hydrochloric acid—acetone mixture and the concentration of Pd(II) was determined using flame atomic absorption spectr...

The high cost of commercial active carbon has motivated the study of new adsorbents materials with the aim to reduce costs of the residuary waters treatment by means of adsorption process. Among then, the pyrolyzed oil shale has demonstrated adsorbents characteristic and has been studied as adsorbent material for organic and inorganic pollutants. In oil refineries, before deciding for the impla...

Palygorskite clay has been investigated as low cost and ecofriendly adsorbent for the removal Basic Red 2(BR-2) from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption studies are carried out by observing effect of amount of adsorbent dose, contact time, pH, initial concentration of ( BR-2) and particle size of adsorbent on the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent were studied. Adsorption data fits the Langmui...

Separation of carbon dioxide and methane is an important issue in upgrading low-quality natural gas. Adsorption equilibria and kinetics of CO(2) and CH(4) on a copper metal-organic framework (MOF), Cu(hfipbb)(H(2)hfipbb)(0.5) [H(2)hfipbb=4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) bis(benzoic acid)], were investigated to evaluate the feasibility of removing CO(2) from CH(4) in a pressure swing adsorption p...

Polyvinyl alcohol/ glycerin- magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (PVAGLPs) have been synthesized successfully by hydrothermal method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR). The adsorbed activities of the polyvinyl alcohol/ glycerin- magnetic iron oxide nano particles (PVAGLPs) were ca...
