Data in Brief
|February 7, 2019
Summary
Zeolite-reduced graphene oxide (ZrGO) composite effectively removes Arsenic(III) from water. Adsorption follows pseudo second-order kinetics, indicating chemisorption, and is best described by the Redlich Peterson isotherm model.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Materials Science
- Chemistry
Background:
- Arsenic contamination in water poses significant health risks.
- Developing efficient adsorbents for arsenic removal is crucial for water purification.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present data on Arsenic(III) removal from water using a zeolite-reduced graphene oxide (ZrGO) composite.
- To analyze the adsorption kinetics and isotherms of the ZrGO composite for arsenic removal.
Main Methods:
- Adsorption experiments were conducted using the ZrGO composite to remove Arsenic(III).
- Kinetic and isotherm analyses were performed on the obtained adsorption data.
Main Results:
- The adsorption process followed pseudo second-order kinetics, suggesting chemisorption as the primary mechanism.
- The Redlich Peterson isotherm model provided the best fit for the experimental data.
Conclusions:
- The ZrGO composite demonstrates potential as an effective adsorbent for Arsenic(III) removal.
- The adsorption mechanism involves chemisorption, as indicated by kinetic analysis.

01:26Redox Titration: Other Oxidizing and Reducing Agents
1.4K
Besides iodine, other oxidizing or reducing agents can serve as titrants in redox titrations. Common oxidizing titrants include KMnO4, cerium(IV), and K2Cr2O7. The choice of oxidizing titrants depends on factors like stability, cost, analyte strength, and reaction rate between the analyte and titrant. KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing titrant that reduces from Mn(VII) to Mn(II) in a highly acidic solution, simultaneously oxidizing the analyte to a higher oxidation state. In this case, KMnO4 acts as a...

In redox reactions, the transfer of electrons occurs between reacting species. Electron transfer is described by a hypothetical number called the oxidation number (or oxidation state). It represents the effective charge of an atom or element, which is assigned using a set of rules.

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.

After glycolysis, the charged pyruvate molecules enter the mitochondria via active transport and undergo three enzymatic reactions. These reactions ensure that pyruvate can enter the next metabolic pathway so that energy stored in the pyruvate molecules can be harnessed by the cells.
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...
