Removal of Se(IV) and Se(VI) by MFe2O4 nanoparticles from aqueous solution
TL;DR: In this paper, three types of MFe 2 O 4 (Mn, Cu, Co) spinel ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared through a hydrothermal method, and the adsorption mechanisms of Se(IV) and Se(VI) were discussed.

Adsorption of selenite and selenate by nanocrystalline aluminum oxide, neat and impregnated in chitosan beads.
TL;DR: The results indicate that, in order to maintain consistent removal in more realistic systems, a pre-treatment process to manage sulfate will be necessary as indicated for other adsorbents implemented for selenium adsorption in aqueous systems.

Erroneous Application of Pseudo-Second-Order Adsorption Kinetics Model: Ignored Assumptions and Spurious Correlations
TL;DR: This article revisited the pseudo-second-order model for adsorption kinetics, its assumptions, and its application to simulated, random, and published data in particular, a widely used model.

Enhanced adsorptive removal of fluoride using mesoporous alumina
TL;DR: In this paper, two different kinds of mesoporous alumina samples were prepared using aluminum tri-sec-butoxide in the presence of either cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (MA-1) or stearic acid as a structure-directing agent, and tested for adsorptive removal of fluoride in water.

Pretreating landfill leachate with peat to remove metals
J. K. McLellan,C. A. Rock +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the capacity of peat to treat two different landfill leachates was determined, and the efficiency of treatment was evaluated as a function of factors important for developing filter design criteria.
