Adsorption of Mn+7 ions on chitosan/cellulose composite: experimentally and theoretically approaches

Hussein S. Mohamed et al.

Summary: In this study, new composites of FS and SM impregnated with chitosan were used as adsorbents for Mn+7 metal ion in wastewater. The percentage of metal ion removal was found to be dependent on factors such as temperature, pH, composite weight, and time. The adsorption process was shown to be spontaneous and exothermic.

A Study of Copper (II) Ions Removal by Reverse Osmosis under Various Operating Conditions

Ramzi H. Harharah et al.

Summary: This study aims to treat artificial wastewater contaminated with copper (II) ions using reverse osmosis technology. The impact of different operating conditions such as pressure, temperature, and flow rate on Cu (II) removal and permeate flux was investigated. The results showed that pressure and feed temperature were positively correlated with both permeate flux and Cu (II) removal, while feed concentration was negatively correlated. Feed flow rate had a negligible effect. Mathematical models were developed based on the experimental data, with the permeate flux model matching well with the data, but the Cu (II) removal model not showing a perfect fit. Additionally, the study highlighted the potential for a strong connection between experimental work and mathematical models.

Nickel ion removal from aqueous solutions through the adsorption process: a review

Mohammadtaghi Vakili et al.

Summary: This review paper organizes information on the removal of nickel ions from aqueous solutions through the adsorption process. Composite- and polymer-based adsorbents are found to be the most effective, with the composite material CaCO3-maltose showing the highest Ni(II) adsorption capacity. The pH-dependent adsorption of nickel ions, the endothermic and spontaneous nature of nickel adsorption, and the importance of regeneration using acidic eluents are discussed in the paper.
