The V2O5-modified palygorskite (V2O5/PG catalysts) were prepared and used for Hg0 removal in simulated flue gas at low temperature. It was found that the V2O5/PG catalyst had excellent performance 150 °C. O2 exhibited a positive effect on over V2O5/PG, while SO2 H2O showed an inhibiting effect. However, efficiency promotion trend presence of H2O, SO2, O2. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, sc...

The sediments on the banks of Shatt al-Arab and Al-Basrah have been studied to find out their mineralogical variation. Twenty-two samples were collected from depths 20 cm recent Al-Arab Rivers banks, with approximately equal distances between them, grain size analysis was conducted, selected prepared for X-ray diffraction, heavy light minerals analysis. result showed that silt loam texture is d...

The study includes grain size analysis, clay minerals, selected heavy metals, total dissolved solids and chemical properties. analyses of (78) samples indicate that the upper layers floodplain are fine where lower coarser. identification abundance minerals are; Kaolinite, Montmorilonite, Illite, Chlorite Palygorskite. (pH) sediments ranged (7.07–7.33) with average (7.22), values (EC) (1.71-6.42...
