A solid-phase extractant based on microemulsion modified date pits for toxic pollutants
(2013 , Article)
Application of microemulsion modified raw date pits as an inexpensive solid extractant for removing methylene blue (MB), copper ion (Cu2+) and cadmium ion (Cd2+) has been presented. The results summarised herein are also ...
Heavy metal removal from aqueous solution by advanced carbon nanotubes: Critical review of adsorption applications
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article Review)
The scarcity of water, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world is exerting great pressure on resources and establishing more need to provide good quality water for human and other consumptions. Water ...
Polymeric adsorbents for oil removal from water
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the application of four synthetic resins for the removal of emulsified oil from produced water was investigated. Key experimental parameters such as adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial oil concentration ...
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 ...
Carbon dioxide sequestration and methane removal from exhaust gases using resorcinol-formaldehyde activated carbon xerogel
(
Springer
, 2013 , Article)
The world is faced with intrinsic environmental issues. Among these issues, the minimization of greenhouse gas emission to acceptable levels presents a high priority. This study seeks to help to reduce the greenhouse effect ...
Energetic investigation of the adsorption process of CH4, C 2H6 and N2 on activated carbon: Numerical and statistical physics treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The adsorption energy distribution (AED) function of a commercial activated carbon (BDH-activated carbon) was investigated. For this purpose, the integral equation is derived by using a purely analytical statistical physics ...
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, ...
CO 2 adsorption studies on Prussian blue analogues
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2012 , Article)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption capacities of several Prussian blue (PB) analogues have been studied using the state-of-the-art Rubotherm® sorption apparatus to obtain adsorption and desorption isotherms of these compounds ...
Mesoporous and high-surface-Area activated carbon from defatted olive cake by-products of olive mills for the adsorption kinetics and isotherm of methylene blue and acid blue 29
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
The K2CO3 activation of defatted olive cake in N2 atmosphere was attempted for activated carbon (DOC-AC)
preparation to test its ability for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) and acid blue 29 (AB 29). The optimum
conditions ...
Treatment of spent engine oil (spent SAE W50) via solvent extraction- adsorption process for the production of transfer oil: Physico-chemical properties of the adsorbents
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Regeneration of base oil from spent engine oil (spent SAE W50) for transfer oil production has been investigated using the solvent extraction-adsorption method. Solvent treated base oil regenerated from spent SAE W50 was ...
