Abstract. The use of bentonite for the removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solutions for different contact times, pH of suspension, and initial concentration of Pb and particle sizes of absorbent was investigated. Batch adsorption kinetic experiments revealed that the adsorption of Pb(II) onto bentonite involved fast and slow processes. The adsorption mechanisms in the lead/bentonite system followe…
Abstract TiO2-SiO2 supports were prepared by various methods including precipitation, impregnation, hydrolysisreflux and sol–gel, and then cobalt was impregnated on those supports. The properties of various catalysts were characterized by N2 physisorption, XRD, XPS and TPR. The introduction of TiO2 led to stronger Co-support interaction, accompanying with the variation of dispersion and …
