In this study, we report the synthesis of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles using Catha Edulis plant leaf extract as bioreducing agents and investigation of its efficiency as an adsorbent for hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solutions. The synthesized NPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, Fourier Transforms Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), […]
AlMCM-41 was applied for adsorption of methylene blue (MB) and auramine (AU) in single and binary component systems. In the single component systems, AlMCM-41 represents higher adsorption capacity for MB than AU with the maximal adsorption capacity of 2.07×10−4 and 1.15×10−4 mol/g at 25 ˚C for MB and AU, respectively. In the binary component system, […]
In this study, removal of Acid blue 62 from aqueous solution by mesoporous silicate MCM-41 modified by Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) composite was studied. Properties of synthesized composite were analyzed and confirmed by SEM, EDX and FTIR. Results show that Langmuir adsorption isotherm has the best compatibility with the results of experiments. Kinetic analysis using pseudo-first-order model, […]
