Diatomite, an abundant inorganic material in Jordan, was treated with sulfuric acid and heat treated in order to improve its performance as an adsorbent. The acid treated diatomite (ATD) was used to adsorb methylene blue from aqueous solutions. The equilibrium data were fitted to different adsorptio

Biosorption experiments were performed using different pretreated activated sludge as bioadsorbent for Cu2+, Cd and Ni2+. Pretreatment with NaOH was found to improve the adsorption capacity of the sludge where as treatment with HCl reduces it. The treated and untreated sludge show great affinity tow
