A novel desulfurization practice based on diesel acidification prior to activated carbon adsorption
( Springer New York LLC , 2015 , Article)Commercial diesel is often rich with organosulfur compounds and a value of 7,100 mgS/kg was recently reported. As confirmed by chromatographic analysis, about 36% of sulfur compounds are originated from dibenzothiophene. ... -
A solid-phase extractant based on microemulsion modified date pits for toxic pollutants
( Elsevier , 2013 , Article)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 ... -
An updated review on boron removal from water through adsorption processes
( Springer Nature , 2021 , Article)Boron is an essential micronutrient that has raised much interest, given the narrow balance between its necessity and toxicity. Both natural and anthropogenic emissions of boron into water sources can eventually deteriorate ... -
Brine management strategies, technologies, and recovery using adsorption processes
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)The world is experiencing serious shortages, unequal distributions, and contamination of the available freshwater resources. Many factors like geography, climate change, increasing populations, economic and technological ... -
Conventional and Upcoming Sulfur-Cleaning Technologies for Petroleum Fuel: A Review
( Wiley-VCH Verlag , 2016 , Article Review)Environmental regulations on the quality of liquid fuels continue to create more requirements to produce a near-to-zero sulfur content. The hydrodesulfurization process has a high running cost and suffers from incomplete ... -
Effective removal of phenol from wastewater using a hybrid process of graphene oxide adsorption and UV-irradiation
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)The focus of this work is the removal of phenol from water by graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles, prepared by two different methods, through a hybrid adsorption?UV-irradiation process. The GO1 and GO2 were prepared using ... -
Functionalized cellulose nanocrystals as a novel adsorption material for removal of boron from water
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)This study aims to prepare a novel adsorbent containing cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) isolated from date pits (DP) and ionic liquid (IL). The prepared composite of CNC and IL was then loaded onto the DP to prepare IL-CNC@DP ... -
Functionalized cellulose nanocrystals extracted from date pits as agricultural waste for the efficient remediation of molybdenum from groundwater: Performance and mechanistic studies
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)The adsorption technique has proven to be an excellent option for treating contaminated water. This work was designed to investigate the efficient remediation of molybdenum (Mo(VI)) from groundwater by using a novel adsorbent ... -
High-performance removal of toxic phenol by single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes: Kinetics, adsorption, mechanism and optimization studies
( Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry , 2016 , Article)The adsorption capabilities of two nano-sized adsorbents: multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were investigated for the removal of toxic phenol. The maximum adsorption capacities ... -
Modified os sepiae of Sepiella inermis as a low cost, sustainable, bio-based adsorbent for the effective remediation of boron from aqueous solution
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2022 , Article)The occurrence of boron in low concentration is essential; however, a higher concentration of boron source in water has a toxic effect on humans as well as have retard effect on agricultural plant growth. Thus, the affordable ... -
