Water is prime requirement for surviving of any living beings.  The existence of surface water and groundwater sources are used for domestic, agriculture and industrial purposes in all over the world. Fresh water from both the water sources is highly contaminated in recent years because of rapid population growth, modern agriculture and industrial growth. Among them, contamination of water sour...

A facile and efficient hard-templating strategy is reported for the preparation of porous nickel microspheres with excellent uniformity and strong magnetism. The strategy involves impregnation of porous polymer microspheres with nickel precursors, calcination to remove the template, followed by thermal reduction. The morphology, structure, and the property of the Ni microspheres were characteri...

The solvent contained within the cylindrical one-dimensional pores of the novel three-dimensional metal organic framework Ni2(dhtp)(H2O)2.8H2O can be removed without decomposition of the network, allowing gas storage within the cavities.

Adsorption of nickel and chromium was investigated using fuller’s earth. The experimental data were analyzed five 2-parameter adsorption models three 3-parameter models. maximum capacities for 769 556 mg/g, respectively. Langmuir isotherm model found to have the best fitting indicating monolayer adsorption. an exothermic nature.

Sulfur segregation to the surface poses a perplexing problem in basic research on low surface area nickel materials. In addition sulfur effectively poisons catalytic reactions involving CO adsorption on nickel as well as other transition metal catalysts in technically important processes such as methanation and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. It is not surprising then that considerable attention has...

Electroplating and metalworking industries discharge large amounts of heavy metals, including copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) ions, in their effluents have been recognized as a major problem to human health and aquatic life. Copper is highly toxic because it is non biodegradable and carcinogenic, Copper has been reported to cause neurotoxicity commonly known as “Wilson’s disease” due to ...

In the present study, the adsorption behaviors of mordenite (a common zeolite) with respect to Cu 2+ and Ni 2+ from aqueous solutions were investigated. The sorption data followed the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. The maximum sorption capacities were found to be 9.778 and 5.371 mg/g at pH 6, initial concentration of 40 mg/L and temperature of 30 for Cu 2+ and Ni 2+ , respectively. The kine...

the performance of msu-s and its forms modified with phosphotungstic acid (hpw) and nickel (ni) for the desulfurization and denitrogenation of model diesel fuel were studied. according to the results of the characteristic tests (n2 adsorption-desorption, xrd, sem, and nh3-tpd), heteropoly acid incorporation causes higher acidity along with a negligible loss of structural aspects, while ni impre...

contamination of water by heavy metals is a global problem. nowadays everybody knows that heavy metal ions consist of iron, lead, manganese, zinc, copper, cadmium, and nickel and so on they are common contaminants in wastewater and known to be toxic and carcinogenic that lead to many problems for human and water environment. in this research, experiments have been performed in the batch system ...
