Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleBiosorption of Ternary Cadmium, Nickel and Cobalt Ions from Aqueous Solution onto Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cells: Batch and Column StudiesMaedeh Galedar, Habibollah YounesiThe aim of this study was to remove cadmium, nickel and cobalt ions from aqueous solutions using yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, pre-treated with ethanol. The cells are immobilized using polysulfone in both batch and continuous systems. To optimize the adsorption capacity of the yeast biomass, a batch system was used to investigate the effects of initial pH, initial biomass dose and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 7,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAdsorption from Aqueous Solution Onto Natural and Acid Activated BentoniteLaila Al-Khatib, Feras Fraige, Mohammad Al-Hwaiti, Omar Al-KhashmanDyes have long been used in dyeing, paper and pulp, textiles, plastics, leather, paint, cosmetics and food industries. Nowadays, more than 100,000 commercial dyes are available with a total production of 700,000 tones manufactured all over the world annually. About 10-15% of dyes are being disposed off as a waste into the environment after dyeing process. This poses certain hazards … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 28 Aug 2012 · 8,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleRemoving Boron from an Aqueous Solution Using Turmeric Extract-Aided Coagulation-FlocculationAzhar Abdul Halim, Nur Hanani Thaldiri, Normah Awang, Mohd Talib LatifProblem statement: Boron exists in an environment naturally either through weathering of rocks or volcanic activity but due to anthropogenic activity, boron had been distributed widely into our surroundings. Boron was a problematic pollutant due to the difficulty to remove it from the water. Turmeric which had been widely used as a spice and traditional medicine, were investigated to determine … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 15 Jun 2012 · 8,329 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleRemoval of Cadmium, Copper, Lead and Nickel from Aqueous Solution by White, Yellow and Red United Arab Emirates SandL. Pappalardo, F. Jumean, N. AbdoProblem statement: To remove toxic heavy metal ions from wastewater using local sand as a low cost adsorbent. Approach: Removal efficiency of Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Ni(II) from aqueous solution by white, yellow and red UAE sand was investigated at 25.0°C using the methods of batch equilibrium adsorption and column filtration. In each case, a mixture containing 20 ppm of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe Removal of Methyl Red from Aqueous Solutions Using Banana Pseudostem FibersMas Rosemal H. Mas Haris, Kathiresan SathasivamProblem statement: The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of methyl red, a mutagenic monoazo dye, from various aqueous solutions using banana pseudostem fibers of the size 212-350 micron. Approach: The parameters studied were the effect of pH, amount of adsorbent, contact time, concentration of adsorbate and agitation speed. Results: Equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAdsorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution onto a Low-Cost Natural Jordanian TripoliAtef S. ALzaydienProblem statement: It is well documented that lead is one of contaminants of industrial wastewaters and its pollution exists in the wastewater of many industries. As a result, recent research has focused on the development of cost effective alternatives using various natural sources and industrial wastes. In this setting, the use of low-cost agricultural materials, waste and residues for recovering … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleKinetics of Chromium Sorption on Biomass Fungi from Aqueous SolutionLouhab Krim, Sahmoune Nacer, Goma BilangoThe kinetics of chromium ions sorption from aqueous solution on fungi biomass have been investigated in a batch system. The experimental data were analysed based on an intraparticle diffusion equation and a pseudo-second-order mechanism, in order to predict the constant rate of sorption and the equilibrium capacity with the effect of initial chromium ions concentration, temperature and initial solution pH. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,418 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDye Removal from Aqueous Solution by using Adsorption on Treated Sugarcane BagasseS. Saiful Azhar, A. Ghaniey Liew, D. Suhardy et al.The use of cheap and ecofriendly adsorbents has been studied as an alternative substitution of activated carbon for the removal dyes from wastewater. Adsorbents prepared from sugarcane baggase-an agro industries waste was successfully used to remove the methyl red from an aqueous solution in a batch reactor. This study investigates the potential use of sugarcane baggase, pretreated with formaldehyde (PCSB) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 9,345 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleApplication of the Ozonation Pre-treatment for Biodegradation of Aqueous Solutions of Methyltert-Butyl EtherM. Sadeghi, A. Mesdaghinia, A. Badkoubi et al.The effectiveness of ozone treatment for improving the biodegradability of recalcitrant pollutants has been proved by investigating the ozonation reaction of Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) a bioresistant gasoline oxygenate. Laboratory scale experiments have been carried out, at room temperature, by bubbling, for 120 min, ozonated air (3.4 ppm min-1 ) into 3 liter of an alkaline (pH=11.5) aqueous solution (100 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,463 accessesView PDFCite
