Alkali treated Citrus limetta peels were used for recovery of Ga(III) from its aqueous solution. The raw and alkali treated peels were characterized for functional groups. The efficiency of adsorption increased from 47.62 mg/g for raw peels to 83.33 mg/g for alkali treated peels. Between pH 1 and 3, the adsorption increased and thereafter decreased drastically. The adsorption followed pseudosecond order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm gave the best fit for the experimental data. Desorption studies showed 95.28% desorption after 3 cycles for raw peels while it was 89.51% for alkali treated peels. Simulated Bayer liquor showed 39.57% adsorption for gallium ions on raw peels which was enhanced to 41.13% for alkali treated peels.

The composite weakly basic resin (D301Fe) was prepared and examined using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption kinetics of glyphosate from aqueous solution onto composite weakly basic resin (D301Fe) were investigated under different conditions. The experimental data was analyzed using various adsorption kinetic models like pseudo-first order, the pseudo-second order, the Elovich and the parabolic diffusion models to determine the best-fit equation for the adsorption of glyphosate onto D301Fe. The results show that the pseudo-second order equation fitted the experimental data well and its adsorption was chemisorption-controlled.

The adsorption of malachite green from an aqueous solution of magnetic Fe 3 O 4 was studied in view of the adsorption isotherm, kinetics and regeneration of the sorbent. The adsorption isotherm of MG on nano- Fe 3 O 4 composite followed the Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption kinetics was determined from the experimental data. The nano- Fe 3 O 4 can be recycled for reuse after regeneration through acetonitrile. The high adsorption capacity and excellent reusability made Fe 3 O 4 attractive for the removal of MG from aqueous solution.

Acrylic acid (AAc) grafted polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films were prepared by γ irradiation. The graft films showed little metal ion adsorption due to compact structure of the graft chains as shown by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images which restricted the access of metal ions to the functional groups. Therefore, the graft films were modified with KOH treatment for expansion of the graft chains to facilitate the access of metal ions to the functional groups. The modified films were used to study the selective Cu2+ adsorption from aqueous solution containing Cu2+, Co2+, and Ni2+. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used for interpretation of selective equilibrium adsorption data and Langmuir model showed better fitting with experimental data. Again pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations were used for interpretation of selective kinetic adsorption data and pseudo-second-order equation showed better prediction of experimental data. The adsorbent film showed high selectivity towards Cu2+ in presence of Cu2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ in the pH range of 1.5 to 4.5. Desorption and reuse of the adsorbent film were also studied which indicated that the film can be used repeatedly for selective Cu2+ sorption from aqueous solution.

Sawdust, inexpensive material has been utilized as an absorbent for the removal of iron from aqueous solution for their safe disposal. The adsorption experiments of untreated sawdust (SD) and treated sawdust (SDC) have been carried out at room temperature using the batch test. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to observe sorption phenomena of sawdust in the removal of iron. The results indicate that the sawdust was capable in removing iron in aqueous solution. The results have shown that the Langmuir isotherm was found well fitted into the experimental data as compared to the Freundlich isotherm. It was found that, chemisorptions and physisorption were the prime mechanism for the process of adsorption to occur between the sawdust and iron. The results also proved that the acid sulphuric treated sawdust is much better than that of untreated sawdust as an adsorbent for iron.

<p>The main objective of this study is to investigate the isotherm sorption of humic acid (HA) from aqueous solution onto dual nanofiber PMMA/PVDF. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out using HA solution as an adsorbate under variety of concentration in the range of 50-200 mg/L. The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips models of adsorption. The experimental results indicate that, the adsorption capacity of HA adsorption increases with an increase in the HA concentrations. The adsorption of HA onto dual nanofiber PMMA/PVDF agrees well with the Langmuir isotherm models with the maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 137.40 mg g<sup>-1</sup> at concentration of 100 mg L<sup>-1</sup>.</p>

The equilibrium reactions of citrate ion with protons and aluminium(III) have been studied by potentiometric titration in aqueous solution, I 0.10 M KCl, 25°C. The protonation constants for citrate, log Ki, corrected for K+-citrate ion pairing, were determined as 5.90�0.02, 4.35�0.01 and 2.91�0.02, i = 1-3 respectively. The model which gave the best fit to experimental data for the aluminium-citrate equilibrium system (TL/TM > 5.3) included AlHL + ( logβ 11.02�0.02), AlL (8.35�0.23), AlL23- (13.40�0.35), Al(HL)L2- (17.36�0.11), AlL2H-14-[ pK (AlL23-)6.07�0.24] and Al(LH-1)25- [ pK (AlL2H-14-) 7.09�0.08]. 13C n.m.r.data established that ligand exchange in the aluminium(III) complexes is slow on the n.m.r . time scale. The spectra were consistent with deprotonation of the coordinated C(2)-OH group commencing between pH 5 and 6, corresponding to formation of the species designated AlL2H-14- and Al(LH-1)25-. The broad structure of the- CH2-, -COOH (central) and -COOH (terminal) resonances for coordinated citrate was indicative of coordination isomers and/or the presence of both mono and bis complexes.

Silica/yeast composites were prepared for removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solution. The effects of pH, contact time and initial concentration were examined. The optimum pH was 5.0. The kinetic data were investigated by pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. The kinetic rates were better fitted to the pseudo-second-order model. The experimental data were fitted with the Langmuir and Freundlich models to analyze the equilibrium isotherms. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated from Langmuir isotherm was 73.53 mg/g. The Langmuir isotherm was more favorable to describe the experimental data.

The biosorption performance of both batch and liquid-solid fluidized bed operations of dead fungal biomass type (Agaricusbisporus ) for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution was investigated. In batch system, the adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of dead fungal biomass were evaluated. In fluidized bed system, the experiments were conducted to study the effects of important parameters such as particle size (701-1400�m), initial dye concentration(10-100 mg/L), bed depth (5-15 cm) and solution flow rate (5-20 ml/min) on breakthrough curves. In batch method, the experimental data was modeled using several models (Langmuir,Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkviechmodels) to study equilibrium isotherms, the experimental data followed Langmuir model and the results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity obtained was (28.90, 24.15, 21.23 mg/g) at mean particle size (0.786, 0.935, 1.280 mm) respectively. In Fluidized-bed method, the results show that the total ion uptake and the overall capacity will be decreased with increasing flow rate and increased with increasing initial concentrations, bed depth and decreasing particle size.

A self-assembly model for porous hydrate structures is proposed, which takes into account the sequence of basic physical processes: hydrate growth on the surface of the aqueous solution, formation of islet structure, capillary flow, separation and transfer of secondary crystallization nuclei to the meniscus. The model was studied within the cellular automata method. A good correspondence between the results of the simulation and the experimental data is obtained.
