Adsorption and desorption equilibria of nitrogen, methane, ethane, and ethylene on date-pit activated carbon
( American Chemical Society , 2010 , Article)Date pits were used to produce a highly porous activated carbon. The resulting date-pit activated carbon was used in a volumetric adsorption apparatus to measure the vapor-phase adsorption and desorption of nitrogen, ... -
Assessment of algae-based wastewater treatment in hot climate region: Treatment performance and kinetics
( Institution of Chemical Engineers , 2020 , Article)This study evaluated the use of microalgae for wastewater treatment in hot climate regions. The growth rates of C. vulgaris (C.v.) and N. oleoabundans (N.o.) at 36 °C were studied in primary effluent (PE), secondary effluent ... -
Concurrent adsorption of cationic and anionic dyes from environmental water on amine functionalized carbon
( IWA Publishing , 2020 , Article)Amine functionalized carbon (AFC) was synthesized from raw oil fly ash and later utilized it for simultaneous removal of methyl orange (MO) and rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) pollutant dyes from aqueous medium. AFC was analyzed through ... -
Flavonol-carbon nanostructure hybrid systems: A DFT study on the interaction mechanism and UV/Vis features
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article)Flavonols are a class of natural compounds with potential biological and pharmacological applications. They are also natural pigments responsible for the diversity of colors in plants. Flavonols offer the possibility of ... -
Potential for green algae spirulina to capture carbon dioxide from gas stream
( TechConnect , 2016 , Conference Paper)This study evaluated the use of green algae Spirulina microalgae as a C02 capturing technology at different temperatures. The growth of Spirulina at 25 and 30◦C were studied in synthetic wastewater and its performance in ... -
Potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae for carbon dioxide bio-fixation and advanced wastewater treatment
( AIChE , 2017 , Conference Paper)The potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae (MIMA) as a CO2 capturing technology and treatment process for wastewaters was evaluated at two temperatures ( 25 and 30 C) and different CO2 dosage ( 0%, 5% and 15%). During ... -
Role of catalyst type in the selective separation of olefinic and paraffinic hydrocarbons using xerogel-based adsorbents
( Elsevier , 2008 , Article)Resorcinol-Formaldehyde (RF)-based activated carbon xerogels are typically synthesized using a homogeneous, sodium-based, catalyst solution. In this work, the synthesis of RF-based carbon xerogels using other, non-typical, ...
