Hybrid sorbents in metal ions removal from water and wastewater
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2012, Vol 66, Issue 11
Abstract
The possibility of hybryd ion exchangers (HIX) application in the removal of heavy metal ions was presented. They combine the unique properties of hydrated metal oxides with the mechanical and thermal stability of synthetic ion exchangers. In the investigations the commercial ion exchangers Lewatit FO36 and Purolite Arsen Xnp were used. The kinetics of the sorption process of Cu(II) and Zn(II) in the presence of IDS (iminodisuccinic acid) as well as As(V) and Cr(VI) was analyzed. Additionally the effect of the initial concentration, the phase contact time, pH and temperature was also studied. To describe the sorption, the equation of the pseudo first order (PF-order) and pseudo second order (PS-order) were applied. Taking into account the possibility of applying these ions on the large scale the parameters of the adsorption process were estimated based on the linear form of the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushevish isotherms

β-Carotene as an exemplary carotenoid and its application in cosmetic industry
Carotenoids may be considered as very useful compounds for cosmetic industry due to their ability to absorb UV radiation and to neutralise free radicals. They may also give an esthetical colour to the human skin. In addi...
Sorption of Zn(II) ions in the presence of methylglycinediacetic acid (MGDA) on the anion exchangers of various basicity degree
The paper presents the results of the studies of the mechanism of Zn(II) ions sorption from aqueous solutions in the presence of methylglycinediacetic acid (MGDA) as a complexing agent. The anion exchangers of Lewatit ty...
Errors in the studies of enzymatic reactions resulting from unforeseen oxidation-reduction reactions
Enzymatic reactions are usually monitored using spectrophotometric measurements at one wavelength. Such measurements usually pose no risk, if a standard substrate that gives known product is used. However, if a mixtur...
