Comparative Kinetic Study Of Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes And Magnetic Biochar For Removal Of Cd2+ Ions From Wastewater Mar 2015

Comparative Kinetic Study Of Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes And Magnetic Biochar For Removal Of Cd2+ Ions From Wastewater

Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya

We did a comparative study between functionalized multiwall carbon nanotube (FMWCNTs), and magnetic biochar was carried out to determine the most efficient adsorbent to be employed in the Cd2+ ion removal. We optimized parameters such as agitation speed, contact time, pH and adsorbent dosage using design expert vrsion 6.08. The statistical analysis reveals that optimized condition for highest removal of Cd2+ are at pH 5.0, with dosage 1.0 g, agitation speed and contact time of 100 rpm and 90 minutes, respectively. For the initial concentration of 10mg/l, the removal efficiency of Cd2+ using FMWCNTs was 90% and and 82% of …

Pressure Hydrometallurgy, Fathi Habashi

Fathi Habashi

Pressure Hydrometallurgy is a supplement to the author’s Textbook of Hydrometallugy [second edition 1999]. It is an update to the new processes described in the literature dealing with recovering metals from ores and concentrates using this technology. Great progress was made in this field that necessitated this review.
