Thermochemical treatment of fly ash for synthesis of mesoporous activated carbon
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
A mesoporous activated carbon is produced from oil fly ash (OFA) using chemical and thermal treatments at different activation conditions. The ash samples were refluxed with a range of compositions of sulfuric, nitric, and ...
ENHANCING PRODUCED WATER QUALITY USING MODIFIED ACTIVATED CARBON
(2016 , Master Thesis)
The formation produced water from natural gas production process in the North field offshore considered largest volume of waste water in Qatar, which could be considered a potential benefits source for the industry as well ...
The effect of chitosan's addition to resorcinol/formaldehyde xerogels on the characteristics of resultant activated carbon
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Hybrid chitosan-resorcinol/formaldehyde xerogels were synthesized, and the effect of including minor quantities of chitosan on the consequent activated carbon was investigated. The resulting activated carbon were characterized ...
Adsorption process of n-alkanes onto BAX-1100 activated carbon: Theoretical estimation of isosteric heat of adsorption and energy distribution of heterogeneous surfaces
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Adsorption of the n-alkane series, C1-C7, on Westvaco BAX-1100 activated carbon were measured over very broad ranges of temperature (293-393 K) and pressure (0.06-4964 Torr), depending on the n-alkane. Different behaviors ...
A review on microwave-assisted synthesis of adsorbents and its application in the removal of water pollutants
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article Review)
The use of conventional heating techniques in adsorbents preparation involves long synthesis time, high energy consumption, high cost and material fast firing. Recently, Microwave heating technique has been used to replace ...
Adsorption of endocrine disrupting compounds and other emerging contaminants using lignocellulosic biomass-derived porous carbons: A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Hydrochars from lignocellulose biomass have received an upsurge of interest in different fields, especially in the area of adsorption. Hydrothermally produced hydrochars are effective adsorbents for removing different ...
Optimizing textile dye removal by activated carbon prepared from olive stones
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Activated carbon prepared from black and green olive stones were successfully used as
an adsorbing agent to remove methylene blue from water. Scanning electron microscopy
showed how the deep abundant cavities were occupied ...
An integrated approach for produced water treatment using microemulsions modified activated carbon
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the physical and chemical characterization of produced water was done followed by treatment through sand filtration coupled with activated carbon microemulsion modified activated carbon techniques. The results ...
Mechanistic insights into the remediation of bromide ions from desalinated water using roasted date pits
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Bromide ions (Br−) are associated with toxic by-products that might be produced during the disinfection of drinking water. The removal of Br− from water using roasted date pits (RODPs) and activated carbon was investigated. ...
P. putida as biosorbent for the remediation of cobalt and phenol from industrial waste wastewaters
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The current work focused on the feasibility of treating industrial wastewater containing phenol and cobalt (Co) by adsorption, biosorption, and bioadsorption to determine the effectiveness of each technology. To study the ...
