Adsorption of PCBs in Transformer Oil on Powder Activated Carbon and Synthetic Zeolite

Dye Adsorption on the Blends of Saffron Petals Powder with Activated Carbon: Response Surface Methodology

One of the famous dyes is methylene blue (MB) which is a symbol of hazardous dyes. In this research, methylene blue was adsorbed using the blends of saffron petals with activated carbon. Five independent variables involving pH (2-13), contact time (5-270 min), saffron petals powder dosage (0.1-10 g/l), initial concentration of methylene blue solution (20-300 ppm) and activated carbon dosage (0....

Removal of Ammonium from Synthetic Wastewater using Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) includes Powder Activated Carbon

Background & Aims of the Study: High concentration of nitrogen compounds in water and wastewater can be caused various problems and diseases such as methhemoglobinemia and eutrophication. The aim of this study was investigated nitrification and denitrification from wastewater using integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) includes powder activated carbon. Materias and Methods: The labo...

Hydrogen Adsorption on Activated Carbon

The adsorption of hydrogen on carbon nanotubes and activated carbons has generated considerable interest in relation to hydrogen storage for fuel cells applications[1-3]. However, the widespread use of hydrogen as a fuel is limited by the lack of a convenient and cost-effective method of hydrogen storage. Adsorption of supercritical hydrogen is limited by the low interaction energy between hydr...

Adsorption of styrene monomer on activated carbon.

Styrene is discharged particulary from the factories of styrene resin and synthetic rubber, and it was listed as one of the offensive odor substances by the Offensive Odor Control Law in Japan at 1976. Styrene vapor has stimulating action on eye (STEWART et al. 1968) and membrana of nose and trachea (STEPHENSON & FOSDICK 1960). It has toxic effects on blood cells and liver (KATZ 1962), and nerv...
