Photocatalytic removal of phenol from refinery wastewater: Catalytic activity of Cu-doped titanium dioxide
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
A series of Cu-doped TiO2 catalysts were prepared by a sol-gel method and the effect of various synthesis parameters, including solvent type; solvent/catalyst amount; amount of water; catalyst type/amount; and acid type, ...
Characteristics of olive mill solid residue and its application in remediation of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ from aqueous solution: Mechanistic study
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
This study investigated the use of untreated olive mill solid residues (OMSR) as a solid extractant for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ ions from aqueous solution. It was shown that the solution initial pH value affected the metal ...
Use of rice husk as an effective sorbent for the removal of cerium ions from aqueous solution: Kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies
(
Desalination Publications
, 2019 , Article)
In this research, the sportive removal of cerium ions (Ce (IV) from aqueous solution by rice husk (RH) has been studied in batch mode at ambient temperature. The effect of operational parameters such as contact time, amount ...
Kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies for adsorption of nickel ions onto husk of oryza sativa
(
Desalination Publications
, 2019 , Article)
This research focus onto batch adsorption of nickel ions (Ni(II)) onto husk of Oryza sativa (HOS) from aqueous solution at room temperature. Several techniques such as Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy ...
Earth-abundant oxygen evolution catalysts coupled onto ZnO nanowire arrays for efficient photoelectrochemical water cleavage
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2014 , Article)
ZnO has long been considered as a model UV-driven photoanode for photoelectrochemical water splitting, but its performance has been limited by fast charge-carrier recombination, extremely poor stability in aqueous solution, ...
Effective removal of lanthanum ions from aqueous solution using rice husk: Impact of experimental variables
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
The focus of the present work is to optimize different experimental parameters such as nature of electrolyte, pH, amount of adsorbent, ions concentration, equilibration time, temperature, and operating mode. The effective ...
Porosity control of self-supported geopolymeric membrane through hydrogen peroxide and starch additives
(
Desalination Publications
, 2019 , Article)
Geopolymerization is a green innovative technique for the synthesis of self-supporting inorganic membranes using fly ash as a raw material. This paper focuses on the preparation of geopolymeric membranes of different ...
Adsorptive removal of mercury from water by adsorbents derived from date pits
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2019 , Article)
The current work presented here focuses on the remediation of mercury from water using modified low-cost materials. Modified date pits, low cost, minimal pretreatment steps and locally abundant agricultural waste materials ...
Investigating the effects of mixing ionic liquids on their density, decomposition temperature, and gas absorption
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2019 , Article)
In order to counter the detrimental effect of chemicals on the environment, the academic and industry research interest have shifted towards “green” solvents. Ionic liquids (ILs) are salt-like compounds that, with few ...
Novel aluminum oxide-impregnated carbon nanotube membrane for the removal of cadmium from aqueous solution
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
An aluminum oxide-impregnated carbon nanotube (CNT-Al2O3) membrane was developed via a novel approach and used in the removal of toxic metal cadmium ions, Cd(II). The membrane did not require any binder to hold the carbon ...
