Application of low-cost adsorbents for dye removal – A review

In this chapter, we will restrict our attention to the ferrites and a few other closely related materials. The great interest in ferrites stems from their unique combination of a spontaneous magnetization and a high electrical resistivity. The observed magnetization results from the difference in the magnetizations of two non-equivalent sub-lattices of the magnetic ions in the crystal structure. Materials of this type should strictly be designated as “ferrimagnetic” and in some respects are more closely related to anti-ferromagnetic substances than they are to ferromagnetics in which the magnetization results from the parallel alignment of all the magnetic moments present. We shall not adhere to this special nomenclature except to emphasize effects, which are due to the existence of the sub-lattices.

The solubility behavior of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) in about 50 liquids was investigated. The results were input to a computer program to obtain a three-dimensional representation of the polymer solubility region in the Hansen space; the values of dispersion, hydrogen bonding, and polar components of the total solubility parameter δt,P were evaluated. The latter was also estimated from limiting viscosity number data in the eight solvents found. Both experimental methods gave δt,P values in very good agreement. Comparisons among our findings, the literature, and calculated results are discussed.
