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 ...
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. ...
The application of iron coated activated alumina, ferric oxihydroxide and granular activated carbon in removing humic substances from water and wastewater: Column studies
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2010 , Article)
The efficiency of iron coated activated alumina, ferric oxihydroxide and granular activated carbon for the removal of humic substance (HS) from water and wastewater was demonstrated in batch studies. This paper investigated ...
Kinetics of humics removal from water and wastewater using granular activated carbon, iron-coated activated alumina, and beta ferric oxihydroxide
(2010 , Article)
Application of kinetic models to represent the removal of humic substances from water and wastewater was investigated. An adsorbate-adsorbent system was represented by humic substances and three adsorbents, namely granular ...
Kinetics and thermodynamics of enhanced adsorption of the dye AR 18 using activated carbons prepared from walnut and poplar woods
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Activated carbons prepared from walnut and poplar woods are used as economical adsorbents for the rapid removal and fast adsorption of Acid Red 18 dye from the aqueous solutions; the kinetics, isotherm and thermodynamics ...
Influence of diesel acidification on dibenzothiophene removal: A new desulfurization practice
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Commercial diesel is often loaded with organosulphur compounds including hard-to-remove dibenzothiophene DBT and other derivatives. Following uncommon and simple procedure, dibenzothiophene was selectively removed upon ...
Photocatalytic activity of transition metal ions-loaded activated carbon: Degradation of crystal violet dye under solar radiation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, activated carbon (AC) was prepared from date palm stone by chemical activation method. Its properties were investigated, the surface of the AC was found to be acidic (pHpzc of 3.95), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller ...
