The sorption of mercury ions from aqueous solutions on styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer beads (St-DVB) has been investigated for the decontamination of mercury from aqueous media. Various physico-chemical parameters, such as selection of appropriate electrolyte, contact time, amount of adsorbent, concentration of adsorbate, effect of diverse ions and temperature were optimized to simulate the best conditions which can be used to decontaminate mercury from aqueous media using St-DVB beads as an adsorbent. The radiotracer technique was used to determine the distribution of mercury. The highest adsorption was observed at 0.001 mol L

AbstractThe sorption behavior of zirconium on minerals from a lateritic weathering has been carried out to evaluate its potential for the decontamination of zirconium ions from aqueous solutions. Various physico-chemical parameters such as selection of appropriate electrolyte, equilibration time, amount of adsorbent, concentration of adsorbate, effect of diverse ions and temperature were studied in order to simulate the best conditions under which this material can be used as an adsorbent, employing batch method and radiotracer technique. Maximum adsorption was observed at 0.005 mol L

AbstractThe present study reports the coprecipitation of gadolinium with calcium sulphate dihydrate, in aqueous solutions of sulphuric acid, at constant ionic strength using a radiotracer technique.The experimental results obtained at ambient temperature, show that the quantity of gadolinium ions coprecipitated in gypsum identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and elemental analysis is very small, lower than 4ߙat.ߙ%. The mechanism of coprecipitation of Gd(III) has been discussed, although the elementary processes of the mechanism are not clear.The distribution of gadolinium between precipitate of gypsum and saturated aqueous solutions of H

Radiotracer technique has been used to study the removal behavior of Ce(III) and Eu(III) ions from aqueous solutions by local clay. Adsorptive concentration (10-4–10-6mol dm-3), pH (ca2.0-9.0) and temperature (303-333 K) were examined for assessing optimal conditions for removal of these ions. The adsorption phenomenon was highly dependent on the amount of the adsorbent concentrations. The uptake of ions, which fitted well for Freundlich isotherm, increased with increase in the temperature and no significant desorption took place in the studied temperature range. The energy of adsorption process for the both cations indicates that the adsorption phenomenon is of chemisorption type. The rate kinetics of the adsorption followed the first order rate kinetics.
