This experimental study aims to investigate the possible use of Libyan local soil, Ashkida soil, mined in the Southern Province of Libya as a low cost adsorbent to remove copper ions from aqueous solutions. In this work, the effects of various parameters such as adsorbent dosage, initial concentration of copper, agitation rate, contact time and solution pH level on the adsorption efficiency are investigated through batch experiments at room temperature. The results indicate that the optimum conditions for copper removal from aqueous solutions are 60 minutes contact time, 10 g/L adsorbent dose and 500 rpm agitation rate at natural pH value. The results are fitted to Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. A satisfactory agreement between the experimental data and the model-predicted values is expressed by the correlation coefficient, r^2, and the total mean error, E%. Freundlich model offers the best representation of adsorption process revealing a monolayer adsorption capacity, qmax, of 27.03 mg/g. A comparison of kinetic models applied to the adsorption of copper ions on the adsorbent is evaluated by simple first order, pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetic models. Kinetic parameters, rate constant, equilibrium sorption capacities and related correlation coefficients for each kinetic model are determined revealing that the pseudo second order kinetic model is in a better correlation with the experimental data in comparison with the other isotherms.展开更多

We investigated the stress responses of juvenile turbot, Scophthalmus maximus, exposed to Fe(II) of different concentrations (0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/L) for 1, 7, 14, and 28 d, under the same ambient conditions of other parameters. Changes in respiratory rate, hematological parameters, and gill structure were determined. The results show that waterborne Fe(II) did not cause severe hematological perturbation to turbot. A low-medium Fe(II) concentration (lower than 0.1 mg/L) could boost the respiratory rate, and caused no or very limited damage to fish. A high Fe(II) concentration (0.1 mg/L or higher), however, caused gill damage, such as vacuoles in branchial lamellae, epithelial necrosis, and hypertrophy of epithelial cells, and even death after extended exposure time. Therefore, excess waterborne Fe(II) and long-term exposure to Fe(II) could be responsible for poor growth and high mortality of turbot in culture. The concentration of waterborne Fe(II) in turbot culture should be kept below 0.1 mg/L.展开更多
