Approach: The efficiency of the acid activation can be described in two ways. As increase of the surface and as increase of the cumulative pore volume after the activation. Results: In different samples of the clay … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 23 Sep 2011 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption 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 accessIn the abstractRemoval of Pb+2 Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Adsorption on Kaolinite ClayWaid Omar, Hossam Al-ItawiThe adsorption potential of the kaolinite clay for the removal of lead ions from aqueous solutions was tested. The measured adsorption isotherms at the different temperatures 298.15 K, 308.15 K and 318.15 K were found to be perfectly fit to the Langmuir isotherm equation. A high adsorption capacity was calculated. An increase in the retention capacity with increasing temperature was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,792 accessesView PDFCite
