In this research, Activated Carbon (AC) was modified using a sodium hydroxide solution for CO2 adsorption. Adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch reactor at a temperature range of 20-80°C and a pressure range of 2-10 bars to investigate kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic of the CO2 adsorption process. Activated carbon was modified with NaOH solution conce...

The identification of certain organic compounds in drinking water has led water treatment specialists to be increasingly concerned about the eventual risks of such pollutants to the health of consumers. Our experiments focused on the role of ozone and granular activated carbon in removing mutagenic compounds and precursors that become toxic after chlorination. We found that if a sufficient dose...

abstract aims: even low concentrations of phenol in industrial waste can cause many difficulties for the aquatic environment. so removal of this organic matter is an important issue. the adsorption process, is one of the most effective methods for isolation and purification of phenols. the aim of this study was to introduce wood haloxylon as a natural and new absorbent to remove phenol from aqu...

in the paper we developed a new method to determine the absolute amount of adsorption. this method relies on the excess adsorption isotherm and the density profile in the pore of one material. to compute the density profile and decrease complex calculation of obtaining the absolute amount of adsorption we introduced simplified local-density (sld) model. a few of appropriate parameters were acqu...

applying nanoporous materials is an appropriate method for improving chemical quality of the water due to high surface area, internal porous structure (porosity), high absorption capability of harmful gases and liquids, and capability of reactivating the surface. therefore, actions were carried out in order to investigate the effect of activated carbon and zeolite on reducing the total dissolve...

The effect of carbon addition on the magnetostriction of Fe–Ga and Fe–Al alloys was investigated and is summarized in this study. It was found that the addition of carbon generally increased the magnetostriction over binary alloys of Fe–Ga and Fe–Al systems. The formation of carbide in the Fe–Ga–C alloys with a composition near D03 phase region decreased the magnetostriction drastically. Fe–Al–...

Determining the degree of reducing power multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and granular activated (GAC) enables their effective application in various fields. In this study, we estimate (CNTs) GAC by measuring reduction compounds with different potentials. MWCNTs materials can reduce Cr(VI), Fe(III) PMo12O403−, where potentials range from +1.33 V to +0.65 V. However, no reduced forms PW12O...

BACKGROUND The primary role of granular activated carbon (GAC) in water treatment is to adsorb organic compounds that could potentially harm humans or impart tastes and odors. Several hundred water utilities in the United States and Europe use GAC for this purpose. While the GAC is in service, however, it can also accumulate metals, either by precipitation or by adsorption of metal-organic comp...
