presence of heavy metals in the aquatic systems has become a serious problem. as a result, therehas been a great deal of attention given to new technologies for removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated waters. adsorption is one of the effective methods for removal of toxic heavy metal such as chromium (vi). in the present study, adsorbent is prepared from rice husk, a low cost by product f...

background & aims of the study: nitrogenous compounds could directly create many problems for human's health and the environment. thus, removal of nitrogenous compounds is necessary. among the most important problems, decreasing dissolved oxygen, toxicity for aquatics, eutrophication, converting aerobic medium into anaerobic one and corrosion could be noted. the aim of this study was deter...

In this work, separation performance of supported carbon membranes produced from Novolac Phenolic resin as the main precursor and carbon nanotubes as nanofiller were investigated for separation of CO2 from N2 and CH4. Supports were produced by carbonization of Novolac Phenolic resin-activated carbon mixture, and selective layer was coated by dip coating of prepa...

application of outflow water from treatment plants for irrigation as a non-usual water resource is being developed due to the lack of usual water resources in iran. activated carbon as a conditioner in water treatment procedures causes undesired changes in hydraulic properties of porous media and soil degradation. in this paper, the effects of activated carbon concentration on hydrodynamic prop...
