Removal of chlorophenols from synthetic solutions using Phanerochaete chrysosporium

Removal of acid dyes from aqueous solutions using orange peel as a sorbent material

“…Existence of other species which may compete with dyes of interest for the active sorption sites is also important parameter for the sorption rate. The extent of sorption is also influenced by the surface chemistry of the sorbent (Denizli et al [10]). The kinetics of dyes sorption by orange peel can be modelled using by the first-order rate equation of Lagergren [11], the pseudo-order rate equation (Ho [12] and the second order rate equation shown below as Eqs.…”

Adsorption of Chlorophenol from Aqueous Solution on Fluted and Commercial Activated Carbon

“…Chlorophenol represent an important class of environmental water pollutants. 1 Many of these compounds are present in wastewaters from petrochemical, coal tar, plastic, pesticides and chemical industries, which produce them as chemical intermediates or generate them during chlorination of effluents containing phenol compounds. 2,3,4 Industrial waste waters are not the only sources of chlorophenol, they could be present in domestic waters since they are widely used as pesticides, disinfectants and antiseptics.…”

Biosorption of Zinc on Immobilized Green Algae: Equilibrium and Dynamics Studies

“…Three major sources of biomass can be readily identified: (1) Waste biomass (Aksu and Yener, 2001;Aksu and Gonen 2003;Aksu and Akpinar, 2001), (2) Microorganisms (Rao and Viraraghavan, 2002;Denzili, et al 2004;Feng and Aldrich, 2004;Arica, et al 2004;Pagnanelli, et al 2001;Ibanez and Umetsu, 2004). (3) Agricultural wastes bark , sugar industry mud (Magdy and Daifullah, 1998), peat (Ho, et al 2002), tree fern (Ho et al 2005), olive pomace ( Pagnanelli, et al 2003), palm tree leaves .…”
