The service life of mild steel equipment found in the oil and gas production and transportation industry is often conditional on the viability of protective iron carbonate fi lms. Once deposited on steel surfaces as by-products of the carbon dioxide corrosion process, their integrity may be severely affected by the infl uence of mechanical and/or chemical fi lm removal. In this work, the invest...

This study was conducted to assess the ability of the studied adsorbent, i.e. raw oak fruit hulls and the activated carbon prepared from oak fruit hull for removing the Methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. This study was conducted under various effective parameters, e.g., contact time, pH, MB concentration, adsorbent concentration. The optimum amount of each parameter was determined a...

background; dyes can cause many problems in environment. therefore, removal of these contaminants before discharging wastewater to environment can reduce the environmental hazards. adsorption is one of the usual processes for decolorizing from wastewater. nanotubes are new adsorbents that can adsorb different compounds. this work aimed to investigate acid violet 17 dye removal by adsorption usi...

background: investigating the performance of naturally operated treatment plants may be due to the fact that they cannot be operated as desired, or that they should be modified to achieve good performance e.g. for nutrients removal. the advantage of kinetic coefficient determination is that the model can be adjusted to fit data and then used for analyzing alternatives to improve the process. th...

chromium (cr) is one of the elements presents in crust of the earth. due to its toxicity, chromium is considered as water contaminant that may disturb metabolic activity. in the present study, adsorption of dissolved chromium (vi) onto elaeagnus angustifolia fruit charcoal, jujube fruit charcoal and the standard granular activated carbon (gac) has been investigated and compared. the effect of c...

Background & Aims of the Study: High concentration of nitrogen compounds in water and wastewater can be caused various problems and diseases such as methhemoglobinemia and eutrophication. The aim of this study was investigated nitrification and denitrification from wastewater using integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) includes powder activated carbon. Materias and Methods: The labo...

 Aims of the Study: This study was aimed to investigate the adsorption mechanism of the arsenic removal from water by using carbon nanotubes in continuous adsorption column. Materials & Methods: Independent variables including carbon nanotubes dosage, contact time and breakthrough point were carried out to determine the influence of these parameters on the adsorption capacity of the...
