Investigation Of Adsorption Isotherms Of Myristic, Palmitic And Stearic Acids On Rice Hull Ash, Hüseyi̇n Topallar, Yüksel Bayrak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The adsorption of myristic, palmitic and stearic acids on rice hull ash from isooctane as solvent was studied and conformed to a Langmuir isotherm. Monolayer coverage was determined to be 40.08, 38.43 and 37.27 mg/g, respectively. The free energy of adsorption, \Delta G°_{ads}, for the adsorption was determined to be -6,25, -6.32 and -6.39 kcal mol^{-1} for the adsorbates, respectively. The equilibrium parameter indicated that rice hull ash is a good adsorbent for myristic, palmitic and stearic acids examined.

Adsorption Of Copper And Cadmium Lons By Activated Carbon From Rice Hulls, Murat Teker, Mustafa İmamoğlu, Ömer Saltabaş

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The removal of copper (II) and cadmium (II) ions from aqueous solutions, by adsorption on activated carbon prepared from rice hulls (ACRH), was investigated depending on pH, activated carbon dosage, contact time, initial metal concentration and solution temperature. The optimum values of pH, ACRH dosage and contact time were determined to be 5-8, 0.5 g ACRH/25 mL solution an 60 minutes respctively for the adsorption of Cu (II) ions and 5-8, 1.5 g ACRH/25 mL solution and 60 minutes for the adsorption of Cd (II) ions. From the initial concentrations, the constants for the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm were calculated …
