Kinetic, equilibrium, and thermodynamic studies for adsorptive removal of cobalt ions by rice husk from aqueous solution
(
Desalination Publications
, 2020 , Article)
Herein, batch adsorptive removal of cobalt ions (Co(II)) from aqueous solution was studied at room temperature. Adsorption of cobalt ions onto rice husk (RH) was confirmed by utilizing Fourier transform infrared, scanning ...
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 ...
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 ...
A comprehensive review on application of plant-based bioadsorbents for Congo red removal
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Rapid development of global printing and dyeing industry has enhanced the need of different dyes. Congo red (CR) dye is one of widely used dyes in dyeing industry due to its high chromaticity. So, CR with high chemical ...
A mini review of recent progress in the removal of emerging contaminants from pharmaceutical waste using various adsorbents
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
The presence of emerging contaminants (ECs) originating from pharmaceutical waste in water, wastewater, and marine ecosystems at various geographical locations has been clearly publicised. This review paper presents an ...
Dual functional materials capable of integrating adsorption and Fenton-based oxidation processes for highly efficient removal of pharmaceutical contaminants
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Pharmaceutical contaminants have shown widespread presence in water/wastewater threatening environmental and human health. Existing literature shows that adsorption can efficiently bind pharmaceuticals preventing their ...
Steel slag promoted electrocoagulation process for the treatment of produced water
(
Desalination Publications
, 2020 , Article)
Produced water is a by-product produced from the oil and gas industry. It poses a significant threat to the environment due to its high salinity and high pollutant concentration. In this paper, steel slag was used to enhance ...
Synthesis of nanostructured novel ion-imprinted polymer for selective removal of Cu2+ and Sr2+ ions from reverse osmosis concentrated brine
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study aims to prepare an ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) using copper sulfate as a template and potassium persulfate as an initiator to selectively adsorb copper ions (Cu2+) from aqueous solutions and in an attempt to ...
Fluid-rock interactions in tight gas reservoirs: Wettability, pore structural alteration, and associated multiphysics transport
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Tight and unconventional reservoirs such as shales are rich in clay minerals that give rise to several fluid-rock interactions. The effect of such fluid-rock interactions is manifested at multiscales. The fluid-rock ...
