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 ...

Turning fish wastes into value-added products is an economic and eco-friendly step for elimination of such waste. In the present work, porous carbon–based material form fish scale (FSC) was prepared by calcium chloride ...

In this work, sulfonated chitosan montmorillonite composite (S-CS-MT) beads were synthesized using a microwave irradiation method designed to have a better saving-time procedure. The potency of S-CS-MT as an adsorbent was ...

In this study, a new magnetic Schiff's base-chitosan-glyoxal/fly ash/Fe3O4 biocomposite (Chi-Gly/FA/Fe3O4) was successfully synthesized by direct compositing of magnetic chitosan (Chi) with fly ash (FA) powder particles, ...

In this study, chitosan-polyethyleneimine beads were synthesized via graft copolymerization under microwave irradiation for the adsorption of Acid Red 27 (AR27). The integration of polyethyleneimine affords grafting of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Application of microemulsion modified raw date pits as an inexpensive solid extractant for removing methylene blue (MB), copper ion (Cu2+) and cadmium ion (Cd2+) has been presented. The results summarised herein are also ...

Hydrocarbon production operations include water injection, varying stimulation approaches, and enhanced oil recovery techniques. These treatments often affect reservoir formation, production, and injection facilities. Such ...

Copper-based silica is a promising catalyst for several reaction pathways for CO2 conversion to hydrocarbons. The activity of this catalyst in terms of conversion and product selectivity is affected by CO2 adsorption, ...
