TL;DR: In this paper , the adsorption kinetics for Cu(II) ions on beads followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with a very good correlation in all cases.
Abstract: CABs (Ca alginate beads), AVCABs (Aloe vera Ca alginate beads), and AVMNCABs (Aloe-vera functionalized magnetic nanoparticles entrapped Ca alginate beads) were developed as adsorbents for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. The materials were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, high-resolution scanning electron microscopic (HR-SEM) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, and a vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM). The effect of several parameters, such as pH, time, temperature, adsorbent dose, etc., were investigated. The adsorption isotherm of Cu(II) was adjusted best to the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities were 111.11 mg/g, 41.66 mg/g, and 15.38 mg/g for AVMNCABs, AVCABs, and CABs, respectively. The study of the adsorption kinetics for Cu(II) ions on beads followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with a very good correlation in all cases. The adsorption studies used a spectrophotometric method, dealing with the reaction of Cu(II) with KSCN and variamine blue.

TL;DR: Alkalinity measurements are used in the interpretation and control of water and wastewater treatment processes and can be interpreted in terms of specific substances only when the chemical composition of the sample is known.
Abstract: 1. Discussion Alkalinity of a water is its acid-neutralizing capacity. It is the sum of all the titratable bases. The measured value may vary significantly with the end-point pH used. Alkalinity is a measure of an aggregate property of water and can be interpreted in terms of specific substances only when the chemical composition of the sample is known. Alkalinity is significant in many uses and treatments of natural waters and wastewaters. Because the alkalinity of many surface waters is primarily a function of carbonate, bicarbonate, and hydroxide content, it is taken as an indication of the concentration of these constitutents. The measured values also may include contributions from borates, phosphates, silicates, or other bases if these are present. Alkalinity in excess of alkaline earth metal concentrations is significant in determining the suitability of a water for irrigation. Alkalinity measurements are used in the interpretation and control of water and wastewater treatment processes. Raw domestic wastewater has an alkalinity less than, or only slightly greater than, that of the water supply. Properly operating anaerobic digesters typically have supernatant alkalinities in the range of 2000 to 4000 mg calcium carbonate (CaCO3)/L. 1
