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. ...
Investigation of lanthanum impregnated cellulose, derived from biomass, as an adsorbent for the removal of fluoride from drinking water
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
High concentrations of fluoride in drinking water can cause the disease fluorosis. Our scope goal is to develop an effective biopolymeric adsorbent for the removal of fluoride to below a specific safety limit set by the ...
Enhancing oil removal from water using ferric oxide nanoparticles doped carbon nanotubes adsorbents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Oil contaminated water is one of the challenges in water resources management. It is crucial to remove the oil droplets from water in order to meet the discharge regulations set by the environmental authorities. Carbon ...
Polymeric adsorbents for oil removal from water
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the application of four synthetic resins for the removal of emulsified oil from produced water was investigated. Key experimental parameters such as adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial oil concentration ...
Carbon dioxide sequestration and methane removal from exhaust gases using resorcinol-formaldehyde activated carbon xerogel
(
Springer
, 2013 , Article)
The world is faced with intrinsic environmental issues. Among these issues, the minimization of greenhouse gas emission to acceptable levels presents a high priority. This study seeks to help to reduce the greenhouse effect ...
Energetic investigation of the adsorption process of CH4, C 2H6 and N2 on activated carbon: Numerical and statistical physics treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The adsorption energy distribution (AED) function of a commercial activated carbon (BDH-activated carbon) was investigated. For this purpose, the integral equation is derived by using a purely analytical statistical physics ...
Adsorption and desorption equilibria of nitrogen, methane, ethane, and ethylene on date-pit activated carbon
(
American Chemical Society
, 2010 , Article)
Date pits were used to produce a highly porous activated carbon. The resulting date-pit activated carbon was used in a volumetric adsorption apparatus to measure the vapor-phase adsorption and desorption of nitrogen, ...
Adsorption energy and pore-size distributions of activated carbons calculated using Hill's model
(
Multi-Science Publishing Co. Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
An integral equation derived using a statistical physics treatment by considering the adsorption energy distribution (AED) was used to model the adsorption of ethylene and ethane on resorcinol-formaldehyde-based activated ...
CO2 sorption kinetics of scaled-up polyethylenimine-functionalized mesoporous silica sorbent
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Two CO2 solid sorbents based on polyethylenimine, PEI (Mn ∼ 423 and 10K), impregnated into mesoporous silica (MPS) foam prepared in kilogram quantities via a scale-up process were synthesized and systematically characterized ...
CO 2 adsorption studies on Prussian blue analogues
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2012 , Article)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption capacities of several Prussian blue (PB) analogues have been studied using the state-of-the-art Rubotherm® sorption apparatus to obtain adsorption and desorption isotherms of these compounds ...
