Adsorption of organic pollutants by nanomaterial-based adsorbents: An overview
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Nanomaterial-based adsorbents have garnered increasing attention in water and wastewaters treatment applications due to their attractive properties and strong adsorption capabilities for various organic compounds. The ...
Comparative study between adsorption and membrane technologies for the removal of mercury
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Mercury is one of the most detrimental by-products of industrial activities, such as mining and fossil fuel combustion. What differentiates this contaminant from other pollutants is its bioaccumulation and rapid distribution ...
Adsorption of organic water pollutants by clays and clay minerals composites: A comprehensive review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article Review)
Clays and clay minerals are inexpensive, non-toxic, and naturally occurring minerals that have been utilized in water remediation as adsorbents. However, clays and clay minerals and those modified with heat, surfactants, ...
Adsorption as a process for produced water treatment: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Produced water (PW) is a by-product of oil and gas operations, and its production is foreseen to increase in the upcoming years. Such an increase is justified by various entities through their projection of the expected ...
Adsorption of 4-Nitrophenol onto Iron Oxide Bentonite Nanocomposite: Process Optimization, Kinetics, Isotherms and Mechanism
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
Despite its importance in chemical industry, 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) is a persistent organic pollutant that has serious effects on the ecosystem. In the present study, Box–Behnken design in response surface methodology was ...
Pyrite (FeS2)-supported ultrafiltration system for removal of mercury (II) from water
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
This study investigated the Hg(II) removal efficiencies of the reactive adsorbent membrane (RAM) hybrid filtration process, a removal process that produces stable final residuals. The reaction mechanism between Hg(II) and ...
A review on recent advances in CO2 separation using zeolite and zeolite-like materials as adsorbents and fillers in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs)
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Anthropogenic emissions have developed the environmental demands for proficient carbon dioxide (CO2) separation technologies. Adsorption and membrane technologies are widely used to separate CO2 from other light gases due ...
Recent advances on humic acid removal from wastewater using adsorption process
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Humic acid (HA) is a component of natural organic matter (NOM) with a high molecular weight and high complexity. The presence of humic acid in water raises serious concerns due to its toxicity and ability to form carcinogenic ...
Synthesis of nanostructured novel ion-imprinted polymer for selective removal of Cu2+ and Sr2+ ions from reverse osmosis concentrated brine
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study aims to prepare an ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) using copper sulfate as a template and potassium persulfate as an initiator to selectively adsorb copper ions (Cu2+) from aqueous solutions and in an attempt to ...
Preparation and properties of novel activated carbon doped with aluminum oxide and silver for water treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Novel activated carbon (AC) composite materials, namely AC doped with aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and AC doped with Al2O3 and silver (Ag) nanoparticles, have been prepared via a one-step thermal decomposition method. The developed ...
