carbon activated powdered was prepared from activated carbon derived from olive stone. then byusing the surface methodology, many parameters such as ph, furnace temperature (t), acid ratio,time of activation that affect on the qualities prepared activated carbon produced and its efficiencywere investigated. in addition, the adsorption of congo red onto the activated olive stone carbonactive was...

semi-aerobic leachate is characterized by organic matter (cod, bod) which is relatively low in concentration and difficult to biodegrade. in conventional treatment systems, the low biodegradability is attributed to partial stabilization of leachate at the landfill. biological treatment of leachate in malaysia is not well established and any important data for the treatment process is not availa...

In this laboratory scale study, impregnated almond shell activated carbon was used as adsorbent to investigate its feasibility for nitrate adsorption from aqueous medium. The effects of activated carbon dosage and contact time have been examined in batch experiments. Experimental data show that impregnated activated carbons by Fe0, Fe2 (SO4)3, and FeSO4 were more effective than virgin almond ac...

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 aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of coupling an electrochemical process with a biological treatment in order to degrade phosmet, an organophosphorous pesticide. the absence of biodegradability of phosmet by pseudomonas fluorescens and activated sludge was verified in our operational conditions. so, a conventional biological treatment is not appropriate for phosmet polluted...
