Activated carbon-doped polystyrene fibers for direct contact membrane desalination
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Article)Membranes for direct contact membrane distillation were produced from electrospun polystyrene microfibers doped with activated carbon. The addition of activated carbon reduced the hydrophobicity of the fibers. Therefore, ... -
Adsorption energy and pore-size distributions of activated carbons calculated using Hill's model
( Multi-Science Publishing Co. Ltd , 2014 , Article)An integral equation derived using a statistical physics treatment by considering the adsorption energy distribution (AED) was used to model the adsorption of ethylene and ethane on resorcinol-formaldehyde-based activated ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
BET, FTIR, and RAMAN characterizations of activated carbon from waste oil fly ash
( TUBITAK , 2020 , Article)Activated carbon (AC), a porous material with high pore volume, attracts increasing attention owing to its potential applications in several fields. The development of a porous structure in AC marginally relies on both the ... -
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 ... -
Dynamic simulation of lead(II) metal adsorption from water on activated carbons in a packed-bed column
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2024 , Article)In this work, lead(II) adsorption on activated carbons, tire-derived activated carbon (TAC), and commercial activated carbon (CAC), in a packed-bed column, was simulated using the Aspen Adsorption® V11 flowsheet simulator. ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
