A number of methods are presented to treat sewage sludge. However, the sludge treated in each treatment process has a problem of heavy metal elution. Currently, the treatment of sewage sludge through carbonization is highlighted to solve such problem. This study carried out research of optimum carbonization and activation condition and analysis of adsorption characteristics in order to treat se...

A biomass-templated pathway is developed for scalable synthesis of NiCo2O4@carbon aerogel electrodes for supercapacitors, where NiCo2O4 hollow nanoparticles with an average outer diameter of 30-40 nm are conjoined by graphitic carbon forming a 3D aerogel structure. This kind of NiCo2O4 aerogel structure shows large specific surface area (167.8 m2 g-1), high specific capacitance (903.2 F g-1 at ...

Mesoporous aluminosilicate adsorbents for carbon dioxide were prepared by the grafting of aluminium into SBA-15 silica using an aqueous solution of aluminium chlorohydrate. As the ion exchange sites are primarily associated with the presence of tetrahedrally coordinated aluminium, extra-framework aluminium on the SBA-15 surface was inserted into the silica matrix by a treatment with an aqueous ...

BACKGROUND Aerogels are a versatile group of nanostructured/nanoporous materials with physical and chemical properties that can be adjusted to suit the application of interest. In terms of biomedical applications, aerogels are particularly suitable for implants such as membranes, tissue growth scaffolds, and nerve regeneration and guidance inserts. The mesoporous nature of aerogels can also be ...

The aim of this study is to analyze the use of Ag-doped activated carbon aerogels for bromide and iodide removal from drinking water and to study how the activation of Ag-doped aerogels affects their behavior. It has been observed that the carbonization treatment and activation process of Ag-doped aerogels increased the surface area value ( [Formula: see text] ), whereas the volume of meso-(V(2...

Activated carbon is a carbonaceous material with highly porous structure. Different functionalities can be introduced to its surface by various physical and chemical treatments. Various precursors used for the synthesis of activated such as fossil fuels, agricultural wastes, lignocellulosic etc. Number papers have been reported in literature devoted synthesis, characterization, applications car...

Amino-functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous silica was prepared, characterized, and used as an adsorbent for heavy metal ions. The organic–inorganic hybrid material was obtained by a grafting procedure using SBA-15 silica with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane and bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272), respectively. The structure and physicochemical properties of the materials were cha...

Superfluid He has important implications in studying condensed matter physics, specifically in its phases at very low temperatures. The understanding of these phases not only expands our knowledge of He itself, but is also a paradigm for recently discovered unconventional superconductors such as strontium ruthenate (SrRuO3) and uranium platinum three (UPt3). Superfluid He’s relation to supercon...

Heavy metals released into the surface and ground water has been a major preoccupation for many years because of their increased discharge, acute toxicity, non-biodegradable nature and tendency for bioaccumulation [1-3]. Iron a common contaminant enters the water bodies through effluents of industries such as electroplating, mining, steel processing etc. The presence of Fe (II) in water results...
