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 ...
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 ...
Removal of boron from water using adsorbents derived from waste tire rubber
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In the current study, the remediation of boron by adsorption from water was investigated at different pH values, initial boron concentration, adsorbent dosage and particle size using adsorbents prepared from waste tire ...
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 ...
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 ...
Utilization of nano-olive stones in environmental remediation of methylene blue from water 03 Chemical Sciences 0306 Physical Chemistry (incl. Structural)
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Background: The use of agricultural waste as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of hazardous methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution was investigated. In this research, the potentiality of using black nano olive stones ...
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. ...
Occurrence and removal characteristics of phthalate esters from bottled drinking water using silver modified roasted date pits
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2021 , Article)
Background: This paper aims to investigate the occurrence and removal characteristics of phthalate esters from bottled drinking water using silver modified roasted date pits. Three adsorbents, namely roasted date pits ...
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 ...
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 ...
