Effect of the Anchoring Layer and Transport Type on the Adsorption Kinetics of Lambda Carrageenan.

The kinetics of lambda carrageenan (λ-car) adsorption/desorption on/from anchoring layers under diffusion- and convection-controlled transport conditions were investigated. The eighth generation of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers and branched polyethyleneimine possessing different shapes and polydispersity indexes were used for anchoring layer formation. Dynamic light scattering, electrophoresis, streaming potential measurements, optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy, and quartz crystal microbalance were applied to characterize the formation of mono- and bilayers.

Adsorptions of high concentration malachite green by two activated carbons having different porous structures.

The adsorption of malachite green (MG) from aqueous solution by two different adsorbents (CZn5, PETNa8) were studied. Adsorbents were prepared from pine sawdust and polyethyleneterephatalate (PET) by chemical activation with ZnCl(2) and NaOH, respectively. The adsorption was carried out in a batch system as a function of dye concentration, pH and contact time.
