Development of Silica Nanoparticle from Corn Cob Ash

Removal of Metribuzin Herbicide from Aqueous Solution Using Corn Cob

Agricultural solid waste (corn cob) has been investigated asbiosorbent for removal of metribuzin herbicide from aqueous solution. Parameters influencing extraction efficiency such as pH of the sample, contact time of sample with biosorbent, shaking time, temperature, heating time, sorbent dose were studied. Maximum sorption of metribuzinwas found at pH 5.0. The sorption of metribuzin on corn co...

Preparation and characterization of activated carbons from corn cob

Preparation of Silica by Alkaline-Heating and Precipitation Method from Corn Straw Ash

The preparation of silica by an alkaline-heating and precipitation method from corn straw ash (CSA) obtained from a biomass power plant was the focus of this study. Sodium hydroxide was used as the silica extraction reagent, and H2SO4 was the precipitator. The concentration of sodium hydroxide solution was confirmed to have a significant influence on the production of sodium silicate from CSA. ...

Preliminary Characterization of Corn Cob Ash as an Alternative Material for Ceramic Hollow Fiber Membrane (CHFM/CCA)

Currently, exchanging trends in the expensive usage of ceramic materials such as alumina, zirconia etc. into economical ceramic raw sources have been studied extensively over the last decade for various technological applications. Despite the fact that this ceramic compound or elements offer a great performance and stability, especially at high temperature and corrosive or acidic conditions, th...

Characterization of corn cob as a possible raw building material

Usually, the corn cob is considered an agriculture waste. This natural and organic waste material may be used in the industry, in general, and in the building industry, in particular. The work presented in this paper was developed in order to give a contribution to the knowledge of this material, by attempting to describe and assess its macrostructure and microstructure, elementary chemical com...
