Removal of cadmium ions with olive stones: the effect of somes parameters
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of somes parameters on the biosorption of cadmium has been studied using olive stones as the solid sorbent, and it was found that the smaller the size of the sorbent particles, the higher the percentage of Cadmium retrieved up to 90% for sizes ranging between 0.355 and 0.250 mm.

Biosorption of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions by Catla catla scales: Equilibrium and kinetics studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of Catla catla scales to remove Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions was investigated as a function of time, initial Cr (VI) concentration, initial pH, biomass dose and agitation speed.

Kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic study on the removal of Congo Red from aqueous solutions by adsorption onto apricot stone
Moussa Abbas,Mohamed Trari +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used FTIR spectroscopy to get information on the interactions between the activated carbon from apricot stone (ASAC) activated with H 3 PO 4 and its ability to remove the basic dye Congo red (CR) used in the textile industry in aqueous solution.

Adsorption characteristics of Cu and Ni on Irish peat moss
TL;DR: The adsorption of Cu(2+) and Ni(+2) on peat was found to be pH dependent and Desorption experiments showed that 2mM EDTA solution could be used to remove all of the adsorbed copper and nickel from the bed.

Adsorption of fluoride ions by Zn–Al layered double hydroxides
S. Mandal,S. Mayadevi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a co-precipitation of chlorides, characterized and evaluated for their fluoride adsorption at room temperature from aqueous solutions, was used to obtain the equilibrium data for the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin equations.
