Investigation Of The Adsorption Kinetics Of Methylene Blue Onto Cotton Wastes, Bi̇lal Acemi̇oğlu, Murat Ertaş, Mehmet Hakki Alma, Mustafa Usta

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Cotton stalk (CS), cotton waste (CW), and cotton dust (CD), which are cotton wastes, were used as adsorbents to study the adsorption kinetics of methylene blue from aqueous solution. Kinetics of the batch adsorption experiment was investigated according to the pseudo-first order, the pseudo-second order, and the intraparticle diffusion models used commonly in the literature. The effects of the initial concentration, solution pH, and temperature on kinetic parameters (adsorption rate constant, initial adsorption rate, equilibrium adsorption capacity, etc.) were studied. The results showed that the adsorption process was well fitted to the pseudo-second order model for all adsorbents. The activation …


Structural, Physical, And Electrical Properties Of Boro-Vanadate-Iron Glasses Doped With K_2o Alkali, Harshvadan R. Panchal Jan 2014

Structural, Physical, And Electrical Properties Of Boro-Vanadate-Iron Glasses Doped With K_2o Alkali, Harshvadan R. Panchal

Turkish Journal of Physics

The structural, physical, and electrical properties of semiconducting oxide glasses with composition xK_2O: (95-X) [B_2O_3: 2V_2O_5]: 5Fe_2O_3 (0 \le x \le 30) have been studied. The glasses were prepared by splat-quenching method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies of these glasses were carried out to study the effect of the modifier and glass former in the glasses. These changes in the molecular structure, bond length, and vibrational group were studied in the spectral range of 400-1350 cm^{-1}. The increase in the intensity and shifting of vibrational bands occurred towards lower wave numbers at 1400-1350 cm^{-1}, 1200 cm^{-1}, and 100-940 cm^{-1}. …
