Adsorption and antibacterial property of impregnated activated carbon fiber

The Antibacterial Activity of Activated Carbon, Silver, Silver Impregnated Activated Carbon and Silica Sand Nanoparticles against Pathogenic E. coli BL21

One of the most widely used nanoparticles for water purification is activated carbon due to its large surface area and high adsorption capacity (Ortiz-Ibarra, et al., 2007). Activated carbon has proven to remove bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli from fresh and potable water systems (Percival and Walker, 1999; Quinlivan, et al., 2005). Despite electrostatic repulsion betw...

Numerical Modeling of Adsorption Dynamics through Activated-carbon-fiber Cloth

Activated-carbon-fiber cloth (ACFC) [ 1-5] has promising characteristics as an adsorbent, and potentially as a molecular sieve, a catalyst, or a catalyst support for a wide range of concentrations and chemical species. This is mainly because ACFC can be prepared with different and controlled pore size distributions, total pore volumes, specific surface areas and surface chemistries. ACFC can be...

Activated carbon fiber cloth electrothermal swing adsorption system.

Capture and recovery of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from gas streams using physical adsorption onto activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) is demonstrated on the bench-scale. This system is regenerated electrothermally, by passing an electric current directly through the ACFC. The adsorbate desorbs from the ACFC, rapidly condenses on the inside walls of th...

Statistical physics modeling of equilibrium adsorption of cadmium ions onto activated carbon, chitosan and chitosan/activated carbon composite

The adsorption ability of activated carbon, chitosan, and chitosan/activated carbon composite for cadmium separation from aqueous solution was analyzed via statistical physical modeling. The equilibrium data were analyzed by Langmuir, Hill, double layer model, and the multi-layer model with saturation isotherm models. Results showed that the multi-layer model with saturation could well describe...
