Copper is one of the most well-known heavy metals; while it is an essential nutrient for living
organisms, its excessive presence in wastewaters is equally hazardous, causing a variety of …

Adsorption and ion exchange phenomena are encountered in several separation
processes, which in turn, are of vital importance across various industries. Although the …

This work is concerned with investigating the effect of substrate hydrophobicity and zeta
potential on the dynamics and kinetics of the initial stages of bacterial adhesion. For this …

Azo dyes in soft drinks present a serious risk to human health and are strictly limited in many
countries. Herein, we demonstrate that covalent-organic framework (COF) can be facilely …

Abstract SiO 2-MgO hybrid fibers (SMHFs) were fabricated by one-step electrospinning
process, characterized, and evaluated in heavy metal adsorption, for the first time. High …

The agglomeration and limited number of marginal adsorption sites have always been the
restrictive factors for nano-MoS 2 adsorption performance. In this study, modified zeolite …

Highlights• Pisum sativum pods was used for producing porous activated carbon materials.•
Two chemical methods and two gases were used in the activation processes.• Higher …

In liquid–solid adsorption, fluid film diffusion is typically faster than intraparticle diffusion,
especially for microporous adsorbents. However, fluid film diffusion might play a significant …

Adsorption processes are widely used including in the water treatment and petroleum
refinery industries, and other applications such as gas separation and air purification. The …

Abstract The Redlich–Peterson isotherm, a variant of the Sips isotherm, is widely used to
describe the adsorption characteristics of water contaminants. Despite its popularity, this …
