Preliminary study of graphene like material fabrication from coconut shell using conventional furnace

Fabrication of ultramicroelectrodes using a "teflon-like" coating material.

A new method was developed for the preparation of ultramicroelectrodes (UMEs). In this method, a photo-curable fluorinated functionalized perfluoropolyether, a liquid v-like polymer at room temperature, is used as the material for the insulation of metal microwires or carbon fibers. The UMEs prepared by this method were usually conical shaped and could be used both in aqueous solutions and with...

Removal of Heavy Metals from Dye Effluent Using Activated Carbon Produced from Coconut Shell

The ability of activated carbon produced from coconut shell to remoe mercury Hg (II), Lead Pb (II) and Copper Cu (II) from dye effluent was investigated. The activated carbon was produced through chemical activation processes by using zinc chloride (ZnCl2). The adsorption capacity was determined as a function of adsorbent dosage. The adsorption Isotherms of the studied metals on adsorbent were ...

Adsorption Process for Wastewater Treatment by using Coconut Shell

Adsorption of heavy metal on the solid surfaces is an important technique to remove them from the industrial wastewaters. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the ability of agro-waste material coconut shell to remove Cr (VI) from wastewater. The extant of removal was found to be dependent on pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, concentration of metal and particle size. The adsorption f...

Treatment of Brewery Wastewater Effluent Using Activated Carbon Prepared from Coconut Shell

The use and effectiveness of granular and powder activated carbon made from agricultural waste (coconut shell) in the removal of organic matter in wastewater effluents from a brewery industry were investigated. The effect of process variables such as carbonisation temperature, carbonisation duration and activation temperature on the production and quality of activated carbon was studied. Experi...
