Removal of F− from Water Using Templated Mesoporous Carbon Modified with Hydrated Zirconium Oxide

Phosphate removal from water using zirconium-based mesoporous materials

The element phosphorus (P) is essential to all life (e.g. plants, animals and bacteria) and is a key ingredient in fertilizers to sustain high crop yields. However, the lifetime of exploitable reserves of natural ore deposits containing P is estimated to range from the next few decades to several hundreds of years, since P is intensively used in agriculture and other industries. The use of P yi...

Mesoporous Carbon Modified with Iron Oxide Based Magnetic Nanomaterials for Removal of Malachite Green Dye From Aqueous Solution

Mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) modified with Fe3O4 nanoparticles has been successfully synthesized and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The results depict that the synthesized Fe-CMK-3 preserved the ordered mesoporous structure of CMK-3, and magnetic species were dispersed insi...

Naphthalene Removal From Water by Novel Mesoporous Carbon Nitride Adsorbent

Polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons are chemical species with two to six fused benzene rings and are well-known toxic hazardous pollutants and highly potent carcinogens that can cause tumors in some organisms.1 In recent years, naphthalene contamination in water systems has drawn increasing attention. Naphthalene originates from natural and anthropogenic sources. Anthropogenic sources include eng...

Adsorptive removal of phosphate from wastewater using mesoporous titanium oxide

The adsorption of phosphate onto mesoporous TiO2 was investigated in order to reduce phosphorus concentrations in wastewater and provide a potential mode of phosphorus recovery. Three equilibrium isotherms were used to optimize and properly describe phosphate adsorption (R > 0.95). The maximum capacity of phosphate on the adsorbent was found to be 50.4 mg/g, which indicated that mesoporous TiO2...
