Application of biosorption for the removal of organic pollutants: a review

TL;DR: In this article, a review examines a wide variety of microorganisms (fungi, yeasts, bacteria, etc.), which are capable of uptake of organic pollutants, discusses various mechanisms involved in biosorption, discusses the effects of various parameters such as pH, temperature, concentrations of organic pollutant, other ions, and biomass in solution, pretreatment method, etc.

Adsorption of phenol and its derivatives from water using synthetic resins and low-cost natural adsorbents: a review

TL;DR: The technical feasibility of the use of activated carbon, synthetic resins, and various low-cost natural adsorbents for the removal of phenol and its derivatives from contaminated water has been reviewed and it should be noted that the adsorption capacities of the adsorbent vary significantly depending on the characteristics of the individual adsorbENT, the extent of chemical modifications, and the concentrations of solutes.

Use of rice husk for the adsorption of congo red from aqueous solution in column mode

TL;DR: It was concluded that the rice husk column can remove CR from solution andThomas model was found suitable for the normal description of breakthrough curve at the experimental condition, while Adams-Bohart model was only for a initial part of dynamic behavior of the rice Husk column.

Adsorption properties and breakthrough model of 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane on activated carbons

TL;DR: The experimental results show that within the experimental conditions, the adsorption capacities of the two adsorbents for HCFC-141b in dry air streams can be well-fitted by the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) Adsorption equations.

Investigation of the combined effects of external mass transfer and biodegradation rates on phenol removal using immobilized P. putida in a packed-bed column reactor

TL;DR: A quantitative analysis of external mass transfer combined with a biodegradation reaction and correlation of the experiment with theory was performed for phenol removal using calcium-alginate gel-immobilized P. putida in a packed-bed column reactor and it was decided that the mass transfer correlation j D = 1.625 Re −0.507 accurately predicted experimental data.

Comparison of chromatography and desiccant silica gels for the adsorption of metal ions. II. Fixed-bed study

TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption of uranium and lead on fixed beds of CSG and desiccant silica gel (DSG) was investigated at initial pH 5.15 and an initial concentration of 0.1mM for uranium(VI) and lead(II), respectively, and exhibited a constant pattern of breakthrough curves at various bed heights and flow rates.
