The adsorption of trichloroethylene (TCE) and Cd2+ combined contamination in the groundwater by attapulgite were studied, and the effects of pH, dosage of attapulgite and adsorption time on adsorption were investigated, equilibrium of the adsorptions processes were further conducted. Results showed that the adsorption rate of TCE affected little by the pH; TCE adsorption equilibrium reached after 3d, the removal rate was 71.34%; when attapulgite dosage was 0.03g, the adsorption rate was up to more than 51.08%. Freundlich isotherm was best fitted the adsorption process of TCE. Compound contamination of TCE and Cd2+ decreased the removal rate of TCE; but was in line with Freundlich adsorption isotherm.

Water pollution is the most significant issue due to rapid growing industrial development especially textile dye industry. Therefore, the adsorption process experiment was conducted to determine the removal ability of the adsorbent chosen. The removal rate and adsorption capacity of Phenol red and Cresol were analyzed by using eggshell adsorbent in the adsorption process. The experiment was conducted with parameters of initial concentration, dosage, pH and contact time. Results indicated that the removal rate achieved more than 90% and the adsorption capacity exceeded more than 5 mg/g. The functional group before adsorption process eggshell adsorbent and after adsorption process eggshell adsorbent was analyzed by using FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). The study of adsorption isotherm and kinetics model was carried out to identify the efficiency of the eggshell adsorbent reacting with the dye solution. The adsorption isotherm that applied in this research was Langmuir isotherm, Jovanovic isotherm and Freundlich isotherm. Moreover, Pseudo-first-order and Pseudo-second-order chosen were conducted to determine the kinetic studies. In short, eggshell adsorbent is highly effective on dye removal through adsorption capacity. The functional group of the eggshell adsorbent was found such as alcohols, phenol, alkanes, carbonyls, ester, saturated aliphatic, aldehydes, aromatics, 2°amines and phosphorus. For kinetics study, Freundlich isotherm was analyzed as the best fit isotherm model as it achieved the highest R2 value which is closed to 1 and Pseudo-second-order was analyzed as the best fit kinetic model in this experiment. Therefore, eggshell adsorbent is highly effective in dye removal.

Equilibrium adsorption isotherm for the removal of trifluralin from aqueous solutions using ? –alumina clay has been studied. The result shows that the isotherms were S3 according Giels classification. The effects of various experimental parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, effect of pH and temperature of trifluralin on the adsorption capacities have been investigated. The adsorption isotherms were obtained by obeying freundlich adsorption isotherm with (R2 = 0.91249-0.8149). The thermodynamic parameters have been calculated by using the adsorption process at five different temperature, the values of ?H, ?G and ?S were (_1.0625) kj. mol-1, (7.628 - 7.831) kj.mol-1 and (_2.7966 - _2.9162) kg. k-1. mol-1 respectively. The kinetic study of adsorption process has been studied depending on three kinetic equations: 1- Allergen equation 2- Morris –weber eguation 3- Reichenberg eguation. In general, the result shows the isotherm were on ?- alumina according to Giels classification.? –alumina and thermodynamic

The subject of this research involves studying adsorption to remove hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. Adsorption process on bentonite clay as adsorbent was used in the Cr(VI) concentration range (10-100) ppm at different temperatures (298, 303, 308 and 313)K, for different periods of time. The adsorption isotherms were obtained by obeying Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm with R2 (0.9921-0.9060) and (0.994-0.9998), respectively. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated by using the adsorption process at four different temperatures the values of ?H, ?G and ?S was [(+6.582 ? +6.547) kJ.mol-1, (-284.560 ? -343.070) kJ.mol-1 and (+0.977 ? +1.117) kJ.K-1.mol-1] respectively. This data indicates the spontaneous sorption process. The kinetic study of adsorption process was studied depending on three kinetic equations: 1- Lagergren equation 2- Morris-Weber equation 3- Reichenberg equation

Batch tests were used to investigate the effects of pH and contact time on the adsorption capability of peat. The results indicate that adsorption of uranyl ions on peat increase with increasing pH from 1 to 5. However it takes longer contact time to reach the adsorption equilibrium with increase of pH from 1 to 5. The adsorption process can be described by type 1 of the pseudo-second-order kinetics excellently.

The activated MgO was synthesized by microwave homo-precipitator method and characterized by SEM, EDS and FT-IR methods. It was used to adsorption of U(VI) from aqueous solution with batch system. The paper discussed the effect of pH, temperature, contact time, adsorbent dose and initial U(VI) concentration on the adsorption.

Wheat straws were pyrolyzed at two temperatures (200 and 400°C). For two biochar, the Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the BET surface area were analyzed. The thermodynamics of sodium pentachlorophenate adsorption on biochar were examined. Adsorption isotherm of sodium pentachlorophenate on biochar was determined and correlated with two well-known isotherm equations (Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm equation). The equilibrium data for sodium pentachlorophenate adsorption were fitted well with the Freundlich adsorption model. The thermodynamic parameters of Gibbs free energy (△Gθ), enthalpy (△Hθ), and entropy (△Sθ) were also calculated, and the positive value of △Hθsuggests the endothermic nature of the adsorption, whereas the negative values of △Gθtend (s) to prove the spontaneous nature of the adsorption process.

The adsorption of p,p’-DDT onto expanded graphite (EG) in aqueous solutions was investigated under varying conditions of p,p’-DDT concentrations, adsorbent doses, pH, and contact time. The removal efficiency of p,p’-DDT from the aqueous solutions remained constant in a range of pH 2 to 10, and the thermodynamic data followed the type II adsorption isotherm characterized by a spontaneous process. At lower concentrations, adsorption equilibrium of p,p’-DDT onto EG was fitted to Freundlich isotherm. Dynamic modeling of the adsorption showed that the first order reversible kinetic model was held for the adsorption process within the range of experimental concentration. It was suggested that expanded graphite can be used for efficient removal of p,p’-DDT from water and wastewater.
