The present work investigated the potential of using zeolite (clinoptilolite), montmorillonite (Swy2), and Conocarpus biochar as adsorbents to remove 226Ra from aqueous solution. The effect of the initial 226Ra concentrations on sorbents’ equilibrium activity concentrations and sorbents’ radium removal efficiency were investigated. The results showed that zeolite has a higher removal efficiency for 226Ra in comparison with the efficiencies of montmorillonite and biochar. In addition to the linear isotherm model, the Freundlich model, followed by Temkin’s model, provided a better description of the adsorption process than the Langmuir model. Kinetic studies indicated that a pseudo-second-order kinetic model could be the best fit for the adsorption of 226Ra onto the three investigated sorbents, which suggests that the mechanism of adsorption of 226Ra by sorbents was chemisorption. The intraparticle diffusion model indicated that adsorption of 226Ra onto the sorbents involves a multistep process: (i) boundary layer diffusion and (ii) intraparticle diffusion. Moreover, the remediation of groundwater samples polluted with 226Ra was assessed using the investigated sorbents; the results showed that zeolite also has the highest removal efficiency among other sorbents. Thus, the low cost, availability, and the high adsorption efficiency of zeolite can be a promising sorbent on 226Ra removal from aqueous solutions and groundwater remediation.

<div> <p>This study was conducted to investigate the effect of praestol, as a coagulant-aid, to improve coagulation-flocculation process in the removal of disperse red 60 from aqueous solutions. The effect of various parameters including coagulants dose (10-1000 mg l<sup>-1</sup>), praestol dose (0-1000 mg l<sup>-1</sup>), solution pH (3-11), initial dye concentration (100-500 mg l<sup>-1</sup>), flocculation speed (30-60 rpm), flocculation time (15-30 min), settling time (5-60 min) and ionic strength (0-6 mg l<sup>-1</sup>) was evaluated on the dye removal. The dye removal efficiency was substantially increased by using praestol in the concentration of 80 mg l<sup>-1 </sup>and 400 mg l<sup>-1 </sup>for coagulation with alum and polyaluminum chloride (PACl), respectively. The maximum dye removal by alum coupled with praestol (Al-P) and PACl coupled with praestol (PA-P) was found to be 97.8% and 98.7%, respectively that were occurred at pH 7. The results showed that the application of PA-P or Al-P can be effectively used to remove disperse red 60 (DR 60) in aqueous solutions.</p> </div> <p>&nbsp;</p>

A composite membrane of thermoplastic carboxymethyl cellulose (TCMC) /PLA was prepared by electrospinning process, and crossliked by epichlorohydrin solution at different temperature. The cross-linking temperature was optimized by characterizing the morphology and tensile strength of the film. The optimal cross-linking temperature was 50°C. A composite membrane was used to remove Cu2+ from aqueous solutions, and the effects of initial concentration of Cu2+ and contact time on the removal efficiency of Cu2+ were investigated. The removal efficiency of Cu2+ was 13.78%, at the initial concentration of 40 mg·L-1 and contact time of 30s.
