Recovery of sodium from alumina-extracted fly ash using concentrated sodium carbonate solution

Sodium carbonate revisited.

We present the structure of anhydrous sodium carbonate at room temperature (phase gamma) and 110 K (phase delta) based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The incommensurate phase gamma was determined almost 30 years ago in the harmonic approximation using one modulation wave and first-order satellites. In our work we use satellites up to fifth order and additional harmonic waves to model...

Biosorption of Uranium (VI) from Aqueous Solution by Pretreated Aspergillus niger Using Sodium Hydroxide

The removal of uranium and any other heavy metals from wastewater might be achieved via several chemical or physical treatment techniques. Biosorption process has been considered as a potential alternative way to remove contaminants from industrial effluents. Moreover the surface of biosorbent was characterized by SEM. The biosorption characteristics of uranium (VI) on pretreated A...

Germicidal Efficiency of Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Carbonate, and Trisodium Phosphate ^

In this paper the writers present results which they obtained, for the most part, in making a comparative study of disinfectants that, might be used by poultrymen, a fact which accounts for the choice of test organisms and various other details of the technic. Although, as the title implies, this work was done chiefly with the hydroxide, carbonate, and phosphate of sodium, the paper also report...

Adsorption of Cu(II) from Aqueous Solution on Fly Ash Based Linde F (K) Zeolite

The work focuses on the removing of Cu(II) from aqueous solution by Linde F(K) zeolite. The zeolite is synthesized from fly ash by hydrothermal process. The adsorption experiments discuss several factors including the optimal solution pH, zeolite dosage, adsorption temperature, adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm equation. The results show that, the optima...
