    Abstract: The adsorption of magnesium (II) and cadmium (II) from industrial phosphoric acid onto 4 samples of clays: crude (a), purified (b), activated (c) and purified-activated (d) bentonite have been studied using a batch adsorber. The parameters that affect the magnesium (II) and cadmium (II) adsorption, such as bentonite amount, temperature, contact tim... Show More

    Abstract: In this study, the electron spectrum in UV-Vis region is used to study the kinetics of metal exchange reaction between ion cu2+ and additional concentration of NiL complex. This complex is soluble in dimethyl formamid solution with ionic strength of 0.1M KNO3. The kinetic data of this reaction proves that the metal exchange is a two-step reaction. ... Show More
