Textile dyes, namely Sumifix Blue Exf (Dye 1), Sumifix Rubine Exf (Dye 2) and Sumifix Yellow Exf (Dye 3), show their characteristic λmax values at 605 nm, 545 nm and 415 nm, respectively. Gel electrophoresis of the three individual dyes investigated indicates that all of them are negatively charged. Among different adsorbents, brick clay shows the ...

AbstractBentonite minerals of Rajmahal Hills and Hazaribagh district along with their derivatives have been used to remove hexavalent chromium and manganese from aqueous medium. Bentonites are smectite group of minerals having swelling power and cation exchange properties. Blue colour with benzidine solution indicates the presence of montmorillonit...

Adsorption isotherms are indispensable tools for the description of sorption processes of pollutants on adsorbents. The closeness of the equilibrium concentration (qe) to the calculated solid phase concentration (qecal) of the adsorbate, together with the co-efficient of determination (R2) and associated errors are important in determining the best...

In this study, graphene oxide (GO) was prepared using modified Hummer’s method and doped with Fe-Ni nanoparticles. Morphological characterization of the Fe-Ni nanoparticles showed flake-like structure correlating to taenite phase, while Raman spectroscopy suggested that graphene oxide was multi-layered. Batch adsorption experiments were performed t...

Spherical shaped nano-size aluminium oxide and its hybrids with indole and indole derivatives have been synthesized using sol-gel and post grafting methods coupled with sonication (Branson Digital SonifierS-250D; 20 kHz; 40%) for the remediation of toxic metals (lead and mercury). Different spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, SEM, BET, XRD, and XPS) ha...

In this study, composite ACCF-A was synthesized using activated carbon (AC), copper ferrite (CF), and alginate (A) and used as adsorbent to remove methylene blue dye from aqueous solution. The beads were prepared by incorporating AC/CF nanocomposites into alginate by an ionic gelation method. The synthesized ACCF-A composite was characterized using...

This study focused on the use of Indian almond leaf biomass, a local plant widely found in Thailand, on removal of dicloxacillin from pharmaceutical waste water by biosorption. The biosorption characteristics of dicloxacillin were investigated in terms of equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics. Optimum biosorption conditions were determined from ...

AbstractIn this study, adsorbent materials were prepared from sugarcane bagasse and modified with thermal treatment and chemical activation through activating agents (ZnCl2 and H3PO4). The modified adsorbents were then used to remove mercury (Hg(II)) from aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to explore the influence of the...
