in this research, the batch removal of toxic hexavalent chromium ions from wastewater and aqueous solution using dried (bd) sargassum sp. (brown marine algae) and activated carbon (ac) prepared from it was examined. biomass, ph and the initial concentration of cr(vi), adsorption models and kinetic studies were investigated. the experiment was performed in a batch system and theeffect of solutio...

Micro-coiled fibers of carbon, Sic, Si N Tic, ZrC and Hf C were prepared by a metal-impurity activa?e%'chemical vapor deposition or vapour phase metallizing of the coiled carbon fibers. The growth conditions, morphology, growth mechanism and some properties were examined. The double-coiled carbon fibers were prepared using acetylene as a carbon source and various powders or plates of transition...

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 simple and sensitive method for the determination of some metalloids and heavy metals in water samples is presented. The method is based on the preconcentration of the attachment of chelating functionalities with metalloids and toxic metals irreversibly and targeted towards toxic metals adsorbed on modified activated carbon, activated carbon and red soil particles at pH 3.0–9.0±0.2, followed ...

to day, the activated carbon is being used to treat the industrial and domestic wastewaters. the suitability of activated carbon for treatment of industrial wastewaters can be quickly predicted by consideration of wastewater characteristics. the results of this paper represent a first step in determining suitability of activated carbon for treatment of wastewaters or effluent of treatment plant...

a new method for analysis of trace amount of rh(iii) ions by magnetic activated carbon modified with 2,3,5,6-tetra(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (mac/tppz) as the magnetic sorbent has been proposed. the proposed adsorbent was found to be advantageous over conventional solid phase extraction (spe) in terms of operational simplicity and low time-consuming. the experimental parameters affecting the extractio...

Activated carbon is an elemental material used for hygienic applications, particularly as an adsorbent for harmful gases and vapors. In Japanese industrial and occupational hygiene, activated carbon produced from coconut shell is a traditional and popular adsorbent material due to its excellent adsorption ability and cost advantage. In this research, in order to clarify the effect of the prelim...

quantitative structure-property relationship (qspr) for estimating the adsorption of aliphatic alcohols onto activated carbon were developed using substructural molecular fragments (smf) method. the adsorption capacity of activated carbon (gr/100grc) for 150 aliphatic alcohols onto activated carbon (ac) is studied under equilibrium conditions. forward and backwards stepwise regression variable ...

background and purpose: recently, release of pollutants such as pharmaceuticals to the environment becomes one of the most important problems for soil and water. the present study was conducted to introduce walnut shell-based activated carbon (ac) as a new low-cost adsorbent for the removal of cephalexin (cfx) antibiotic from aqueous solutions. materials and methods: this study was conducted in...
