This study provides information on the Cr(VI) adsorption potential of Turkish (Mihalıççık region) montmorillonite clay as an abundant, cost-effective and untried material. Batch adsorption trials of chromium were performed to investigate the effects of pH, contact time, and initial metal ion concent

A local clay from Jebel Chakir (northwest of Tunis, Tunisia, North Africa) has been characterized. The mineralogical and chemical compositions of the materials were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and by the inductively coupled plasma technique (ICP). The cation exc

Batch sorption experiments were conducted with cadmium and lead ions at low equilibrium concentrations in 0.01 M of NaNO3 onto Petra clay in single component systems. The equilibrium isotherms were determined at pH 6 under constant ionic strength and at different temperatures. The experimental data

Plane supports based on clay are elaborate by using organic additives like agents of porosity. They are then characterized by various techniques: mercury porosimetry, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, electronic scan microscopy. According to the nature of clay, the nature of the organic additive and t

Microfiltration membrane is increasingly used in wastewater treatment to produce a higer quality effluent. In this study a microfiltration membrane from Tunisian clay (JM18/SI2) was used to treat cuttlefish effluents generated from the conditioning (freezing and washing) seawater food industry which

A milk factory sited at Boudouaou (40 km from Algiers) rejects a great quantity of effluent which contains soft whey. 8,000 l are treated twice a week and are rejected into a river which supplies drinking water to the town population. Some analyses have shown an increase in the water acidity and bot

Experimental data on desorption isotherms of three types of clay at different temperatures (40, 50 and 60°C) were determined using a static method. The results were fitted by the famous Guggenheim-Anderson-deBoer (GAB) model. The thermodynamic functions, differential heat of sorption, net integral e
