Non-conventional low-cost adsorbents for dye removal: A review

TL;DR: It is evident from a literature survey of about 210 recent papers that low-cost sorbents have demonstrated outstanding removal capabilities for certain dyes, and chitosan might be a promising adsorbent for environmental and purification purposes.

A review on the utilization of fly ash

TL;DR: In this article, the utilization of fly ash in construction, as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of organic compounds, flue gas and metals, light weight aggregate, mine back fill, road sub-base, and zeolite synthesis is discussed.

The mathematics of diffusion

John Crank
TL;DR: Though it incorporates much new material, this new edition preserves the general character of the book in providing a collection of solutions of the equations of diffusion and describing how these solutions may be obtained.

Hard and soft acids and bases

TL;DR: In this paper, the rate data for the generalized nucleophilic displacement reaction were reviewed, and the authors presented a method to estimate the rate of the generalized displacement reaction in terms of the number of nucleophiles.

A review of chitin and chitosan applications

TL;DR: Chitin is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide and is estimated to be produced annually almost as much as cellulose, and recent progress in chitin chemistry is quite noteworthy as mentioned in this paper.

A review of potentially low-cost sorbents for heavy metals

TL;DR: The use of low-cost sorbents has been investigated as a replacement for current costly methods of removing heavy metals from solution as mentioned in this paper, where natural materials or waste products from certain industries with a high capacity for heavy metals can be obtained, employed and disposed of with little cost.

Kinetics of pollutant sorption by biosorbents: review

TL;DR: A review of the mechanisms of solute sorption onto various biosorbents has been performed in this article, where the mechanisms have been subdivided into reaction based systems and diffusion based systems, and the literature has been reviewed in accordance with these two groups.
