Experimental and robust modeling approach for lead(II) uptake by alginate gel beads: influence of the ionic strength and medium composition.
2014
Abstract Systematic kinetic and equilibrium studies on the lead ions removal ability by Ca-alginate gel beads have been performed by varying several internal parameters, namely, number of gel beads, nature and composition of the ionic medium and pH, which allowed us to model a wastewater in order to closely reproduce the composition of a real sample. Moreover, the effects brought about the different ionic species present in the reacting medium have been evaluated. Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DP-ASV), has been systematically used to perform kinetic and equilibrium measurements over continuous time in a wide range of concentration. Kinetic and equilibrium data have been q…
General application of Jäntti's method for the fast calculation of sorption equilibrium
2004
On the basis of a molecular model for adsorption kinetics Jantti introduced a method to calculate equilibriums shortly after a change of the pressure of the sorptive gas. In the present paper we show that this method is useful in many more situations than those intended originally.
Cr(VI) sorption by intact and dehydrated Candida utilis cells: differences in mechanisms
2001
The Cr(VI) sorption kinetics by intact and dehydrated Candida utilis cells were studied. Yeast dehydration led to enhanced Cr(VI) sorption activity by cells during the first 15–20 min of rehydration. In experiments with K2Cr2O7 as a chromium source, [Cr2O7]2− was converted into [CrO4]2− during incubation with dehydrated biomass. An effect of the considerably enhanced Cr(VI) sorption activity by dehydrated cells in the buffered media at pH≈8.0 can serve as another confirmation of the different sorption mechanisms of intact and dehydrated C.utilis cells. This effect was not revealed in water solution at pH 8.0. This phenomenon will be studied in further investigations.
Cr(VI) sorption by intact and dehydrated Candida utilis cells in the presence of other metals
2002
This study examined the Cr(VI), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) sorption by intact and dehydrated Candida utilis cells. The anion [Cr2O7]2− and cation Me2+ sorption kinetics was investigated in both single- and dual-metal situations. Uptake of chromate anions occurred much more slowly singularly than with metal cations. A combination of Pb or Cu and chromate anions gave a synergistic effect for Cr(VI) sorption, but not Cd and Zn, which inhibited Cr(VI) sorption by dehydrated cells. The use of alcian blue to occupy maximum vacant adsorption sites on the cell surface unexpectedly did not influence further adsorption of Me2+. Metal uptake by C. utilis was 7 mg (135 μM) Cr, 23 mg (362 μM) Cu, 39…
Resin adsorption as a means to enrich rare stilbenes and coumarin from pigeon pea leaves extracts
2011
Abstract In this study, resin adsorption as a means to enrich rare stilbenes cajaninstilbene acid (CSA) and longistyline C (LLC), and coumarin cajanuslactone (CL) from pigeon pea leaves was investigated. Among widely used twenty macroporous adsorption resins, NKA-9 resin presented higher adsorption capacity and desorption ratio in static tests. The adsorption kinetic model fitted better depended on types of compounds and pH values. The experimental adsorption data were better fitted to Langmuir isotherm (R2 0.921–0.991) than Freundlich isotherm (R2 0.753–0.988). In order to optimize the operating parameters for separating CSA, LLC and CL, dynamic adsorption and desorption tests were carried…
The application of Jäntti's method for the fast calculation of equilibrium in case of multilayer adsorption
2002
On the basis of a molecular model for sorption kinetics Jäntti introduced a method to calculate equilibria shortly after a change of the pressure of the sorptive gas. In the present paper we apply that method for the description of multilayer adsorption.
Different Sorption Behaviors for Wine Polyphenols in Contact with Oak Wood
2007
The evolution of polyphenols of enological interest- monomeric anthocyanins, (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, gallic acid, and trans-resveratrol-in the presence of oak wood was investigated in aging-model conditions. Disappearance kinetics showed that, except for gallic acid, all of the wine polyphenols tend to disappear from the model wine in presence of oak wood, to reach an equilibrium after 20 days of contact. At equilibrium, the higher disappearance rates were obtained for monomeric anthocyanins and trans-resveratrol with values of 20 and 50%, respectively. For monomeric anthocyanins, the rate of disappearance seemed to be independent of their nature. In order to evaluate the contributio…
Efficient Removal of Methyl Red Dye by Using Bark of Hopbush
2022
Methyl red (MR) dye, one of the azo dyes, is mutagenic and its persistence has negative effects on the environment and people’s health. The current work is the first to demonstrate that methyl red dye can be removed effectively and sustainably, utilizing biomass derived from the bark of the Dodonaea viscosa (Hopbush) plant. The Hopbush bark shows effective adsorption of MR, upto 73%, under optimized conditions in an aqueous medium. The experimental conditions were optimized by examining the effect of time, initial dye concentration, pH and ionic strength on the adsorption process in an aqueous medium. Maximum (i.e., 73%) adsorption of MR removal (500 ppm) was observed in highly acidic…
On mathematical modelling of the solid-liquid mixtures transport in porous axial-symmetrical container with Henry and Langmuir sorption kinetics
2018
In this paper we study diffusion and convection filtration problem of one substance through the pores of a porous material which may absorb and immobilize some of the diffusing substances. As an example we consider round cylinder with filtration process in the axial direction. The cylinder is filled with sorbent i.e. absorbent material that passed through dirty water or liquid solutions. We can derive the system of two partial differential equations (PDEs), one expressing the rate of change of concentration of water in the pores of the sorbent and the other - the rate of change of concentration in the sorbent or kinetical equation for absorption. The approximation of corresponding initial b…
Ball-milling and AlB2 addition effects on the hydrogen sorption properties of the CaH2 + MgB2 system
2011
Abstract Among the borohydrides proposed for solid state hydrogen storage, Ca(BH 4 ) 2 is particularly interesting because of its favourable thermodynamics and relatively cheap price. Composite systems, where other species are present in addition to the borohydride, show some advantages in hydrogen sorption properties with respect to the borohydrides alone, despite a reduction of the theoretical storage capacity. We have investigated the milling time influence on the sorption properties of the CaH 2 + MgB 2 system from which Ca(BH 4 ) 2 and MgH 2 can be synthesized by hydrogen absorption process. Manometric and calorimetric measurements showed better kinetics for long time milled samples. …
