Microwave Enhanced Synthesis of Sulfonated Chitosan-Montmorillonite for Effective Removal of Methylene Blue
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
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 ...
Insight into the chemically modified crop straw adsorbents for the enhanced removal of water contaminants: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article Review)
Crop straws represent the major part of lignocellulosic wastes that mainly consist of three polymeric components, namely cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. These straws gain great attention owing to their low cost, ...
Desorption of chloramphenicol from ordered mesoporous carbon-alginate beads: Effects of operating parameters, and isotherm, kinetics, and regeneration studies
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
This study has investigated the desorption of an emerging contaminant, known as chloramphenicol (CPC), from ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC)-alginate beads. The effects of initial concentration, operating temperature, and ...
A review on microwave-assisted synthesis of adsorbents and its application in the removal of water pollutants
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article Review)
The use of conventional heating techniques in adsorbents preparation involves long synthesis time, high energy consumption, high cost and material fast firing. Recently, Microwave heating technique has been used to replace ...
Natural and Low-Cost P. turgidum for Efficient Adsorption of Hg(II) Ions from Contaminated Solution: Isotherms and Kinetics Studies
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Mercury (II) ions (Hg(II)), a potent heavy metal water pollutant, was efficiently removed using a novel adsorbent prepared from Panicum turgidum roots by facile drying. The experimental conditions such as the solution pH, ...
Diatomite chemical activation for effective adsorption of methylene blue dye from model textile wastewater
(
International Journal of Environmental Science and Development
, 2021 , Article)
Dye wastewater produced in textile industries is a warning issue that threatens the environment due to discharge into the waterway. This study reviewed the adsorption of Methylene Blue (MB), as a toxic dye, onto diatomite ...
Comparative study between adsorption and membrane technologies for the removal of mercury
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
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 ...
Influence of carbon uniformity on its characteristics and adsorption capacities of CO2 and CH4 gases
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Activated carbons of resorcinol-formaldehyde aerogels (AC-RFA) were prepared and mixed with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with various ratios. Samples were characterized by different techniques. The novelty of the ...
A review on recent advances in CO2 separation using zeolite and zeolite-like materials as adsorbents and fillers in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs)
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Anthropogenic emissions have developed the environmental demands for proficient carbon dioxide (CO2) separation technologies. Adsorption and membrane technologies are widely used to separate CO2 from other light gases due ...
