A simple ion imprinted amino-functionalized sorbent was synthesized by coupling activated carbon with iminodiacetic acid, a functional compound for metal chelating, through cyanoric chloride spacer. The resulting sorbent has been characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and evaluated for the preconcentration and de...

Abstract The purpose of this research was to create bio-based non-isocyanate polyurethane (Bio-NIPU) resins derived from the tannin Acacia mangium Willd. bark for impregnation ramie fibres ( Boehmeria nivea L.) and investigate properties impregnated fibres. Tannin extracted A. using hot water. Tannin-bio-NIPU resin created dimethyl carbonate hexamine. Based on findings, it is possible conclude ...

A simple and effective method was developed using phenol formaldehyde (PF) resins to immobilize hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) onto granular activated carbon (GAC). The resulting sorbent possesses advantages for both the ferric oxide and the GAC, such as a great As-affinity of ferric oxide, large surface area of GAC, and enhanced physical strength. The studies showed that within one hour this sorbe...

Mercury (Hg) is a toxic air pollutant with coal-fired utility plants being the largest anthropogenic Hg emission source in the United States. The extent that Hg can be removed from power plants using conventional air pollution control devices (APCDs) is significantly affected by Hg speciation in flue gas. Oxidized Hg (Hg) is preferable to elemental Hg (Hg) in that Hg is less volatile and solubl...

Isotherms were developed at pH 6.9 for adsorption (ADS) and coprecipitation (CPT) of Cu by hydrous oxides of Fe (HFO) and Al (HAO) to study the role of sorbate/sorbent ratio in metal cation removal. For low sorbate/sorbent conditions, HFO had a higher Cu retention capacity than HAO regardless of contact methodology. For either oxide, CPT was consistently more effective than ADS in removing Cu f...

Dextran sulfate was covalently bound to cellulose beads (LA01) and used as the specific sorbent of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins. The binding profiles of very low density, low density, and high density lipoproteins to the material were consistent with simple Langmuir adsorption isotherms. Although the affinities of all lipoproteins for the sorbent were roughly similar, the surface ar...

In this work, an adsorbent was prepared based on the attachment of organophosphorus acid extractants, namely, D2EHPA, CYANEX 272, and CYANEX 301, to the surface of superparamagnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were coated with oleic acid, first by a chemisorption mechanism and later by the respective extractant via physical adsorption. The obtained core-shell ...
