Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Egyptian Smectitic Clay Deposits by Methylene Blue AdsorptionSalwa D. Abayazeed, Essam El-HinnawiProblem statement: The characterization of smectitic clays has been traditionally made using physical and chemical methods which are time-consuming and require costly equipment. Adsorption of methylene blue by these clays has been introduced as a quick and cheap method for the estimation of cation exchange capacity and surface area. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to test the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 11 Oct 2011 · 7,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristic Study of the Marine Algae Sargassum sp. on Metal AdsorptionA. Saravanan, V. Brindha, Soundarajan KrishnanProblem statement: Biomass of brown marine macro algae is a biological resource that is available in large quantities and can form a good base for the development of biosorbent material. Approach: Algae have been found to be potentially suitable biosorbents because of its cheap availability, both in fresh or salt water, relatively high surface area and high binding affinity. Results: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,666 accessesView PDFCite
