This paper describes the interaction and removal of some heavy metal ions such as Ni(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solution at constant pH (6.0) and 0.01 M NaClO4 ionic strength using raw clay mineral. The experimental results were analysed in terms of Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich–Peterson isother

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

Adsorption of Reactive Blue 21 (RB21) onto fly ash (FA) and sepiolite from aqueous solutions was investigated. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to evaluate the influences of experimental parameters such as initial dye concentration (100–750 mg/l), pH (2–8), adsorbent dosage (1–4 g/l) an

The sorption of Cs+, Co2+ and Eu3+ ions onto polyacylamide cerium titanate (EGIB) sorbent has been investigated at different reaction temperatures(30, 40, 50 and 60EC 1±EC). The sorption kinetics of these ions onto EGIB sorbent follows the pseudo-first-order rate equation. The sorption capacity was

Adsorbent prepared from maize cob powder (MCP), an agricultural waste, was successfully used to remove the malachite green from an aqueous solution. The adsorption was carried out by varying the parameters such as agitation time, dye concentration, adsorbent dose and pH at constant temperature of 27

Phosphates removal from aqueous solutions was investigated using three different inorganic materials: laboratory synthesized goethite, commercial alumina and commercial hydrotalcite. Equilibrium and kinetic studies were carried out to determine their sorption capacity and the rate of phosphate ions

The ion exchange equilibrium between an ion exchange membrane and solutions of different electrolytes was studied. The matrix of the ion exchange membrane used consists of a vinyl polychloride network reinforced by a polyester screen; with quaternary and tertiary ammonium as functional groups. The d

The effective removal of heavy metals from aqueous wastes is among the most important issues for many industrialized countries. Removal of lead (II) and copper (II) from aqueous solutions were studied using pomegranate peel (raw), activated carbon prepared from pomegranate peel (AC1) and activated c

Activated carbon was developed from coconut coir pith using ZnCl2 and investigated to assess the possible use of this adsorbent for the removal of sulfate from water. The influence of various parameters such as agitation time, sulfate concentration, adsorbent dose, pH and temperature has been studie
