“…This value was found to be appropriate considering that the spatial grid blocks were rather small. The following boundary and initial conditions were used: Table 2 ρr 2.8 g/ml PV 22 cm 3 Numerical simulation runs were conducted in order to obtain best match between experimental and numerical results. The best match data are reported in Table 1.…”

“…Two different concentrations of nitrite, 50 and 150 ppm, were used in this study. Standard solutions were prepared using laboratory-grade KNO 3 . Deionized water was used for all the experiments, as a solvent (adsorption tests) as well as a washing agent (desorption tests).…”

“…Even though the monolayer model is based on the assumption of monolayer adsorption, it has been taken for granted that the monolayer model is also suitable for multilayered adsorption (Basu et al 2006;Song and Islam, 1994). With selectivity, the expression of surface excess can be written as…”

Vol. 4, No. 3, 2015, pp. 127-133. doi: 10.11648/j.ajep.20150403.13 Abstract: Sophisticated prediction of aquifer performance requires numerical simulation. To date, no comprehensive simulation has been reported on groundwater modeling. Most available simulators are not applicable for fractured aquifer, and do not account for contaminant leaching and degradation, particularly in the vadose zone. Consequently, studying contaminant transport in a fractured or vuggy formation offers a forthidable challenge. This paper addresses the problem of contaminant transport in carbonate aquifer, in the presence of fractures. Most of aquifers in UAE are of limestone or carbonate origins. A series of experiments was conducted using potassium nitrate as the contaminant. Dynamic adsorption and desorption tests were carried out using both homogeneous and fractured formation models. Initial modeling and experiments were carried out for a range of initial concentration values. The concentration at the outlet was measured with the Flame Ionization technique. A numerical model was developed using the surface excess theory, combined with a non-Fickian dispersion coefficient. Numerical results agreed favorably with experimental results. It was found that the non-Fickian model was necessary for modeling fracture flow results and with this version, there was no need to use the dual porosity/dual permeability formulation. Strong dependence of adsorption on initial concentration was observed and was justified with the numerical model.

Removal of brilliant red (C. I. Reactive Red 2) from aqueous solutions by adsorption on fish scales of Labeo rohita was investigated. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out under different experimental conditions such as contact time, initial concentration of dye solutions, temperature and pH of the solution. The optimum pH for the adsorption experiment was found to be 7.2. The equilibrium time for the adsorption of brilliant red (BR) on fish scales was estimated and found to be three hours. The amount of brilliant red adsorbed on fish scale surface decreased with increasing pH and temperature of the solution. The negative value of differential heat of adsorption suggests that the adsorption process is exothermic. Langmuir adsorption isotherm was found to fit the experimental data better than that of the Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
