Investigation of lanthanum impregnated cellulose, derived from biomass, as an adsorbent for the removal of fluoride from drinking water
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
High concentrations of fluoride in drinking water can cause the disease fluorosis. Our scope goal is to develop an effective biopolymeric adsorbent for the removal of fluoride to below a specific safety limit set by the ...
Nanofibers of resorcinol–formaldehyde for effective adsorption of As (III) ions from mimicked effluents
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
In the present study, the core–shell structured RF/PVA nanofibers have been developed and used for the adsorption of As3+ ions from the mimicked liquid effluents. Efficient-facile fabrication of the structured nanofibers ...
Effect of gas templating of resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels on characteristics and performances of subsequent activated carbons
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Gas-templated resorcinol formaldehyde-activated carbon xerogels (GT-RF-ACXs) were prepared from resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels that were templated by infusing different gases (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, methane, ethylene, ...
Adsorption of organic pollutants by natural and modified clays: A comprehensive review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article Review)
Adsorption process has been widely used for treatment of wastewaters due to its simplicity and lower costs as compared to other traditional technologies. Among the alternative sorbent materials, the use of abundantly ...
Single and multi-component adsorption of aromatic acids using an eco-friendly polyaniline-based biocomposite
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The polyaniline coated with an agricultural waste (Argan nut shell) was prepared via in-situ chemical polymerization and used as an adsorbent material for removal of trimellitic (Tri), hemimellitic (Hemi) and pyromellitic ...
Copper removal from industrial wastewater: A comprehensive review
(
Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2017 , Article Review)
Copper is one of the most valuable and prevalent metals used in the industry. There are many techniques to treat different types of industrial wastewater that are contaminated with heavy metals such as copper. This article ...
High-performance removal of toxic phenol by single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes: Kinetics, adsorption, mechanism and optimization studies
(
Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
The adsorption capabilities of two nano-sized adsorbents: multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were investigated for the removal of toxic phenol. The maximum adsorption capacities ...
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 ...
Peach resin coated silica particles for imidacloprid removal as a greener approach to water remediation
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
Pesticides are one of the major toxic pollutants that can be lethal even at trace levels. They generally enter into the water reservoirs through agricultural run-off and hence pose serious threat to flora and fauna of ...
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 ...
