In the present study, removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) from model oil (n-hexane) was investigated using magnetic activated carbon (MAC) nano-composite adsorbent. The synthesized nano-composite was characterized by FT-IR, FE-SEM, BET and VSM techniques. The MAC nano-composite exhibited a nearly superparamagnetic property with a saturation magnetization (Ms) of 29.2 emu g-1...

In this study, SBA-15-PAMAM mesoporous Nano-adsorbent was synthesized, characterized and applied for adsorption of Acid dyes (Acid Blue 62 (AB62) and Acid Red 266 (AR266)) from aqueous Medias. Adsorption of AB62 and AR266 on SBA-15 ordered mesoporous silica, polyamidoamine functionalized SBA-15(SBA-15-PAMAM), has been investigated. In order to assess the synthesized adsorbent constructional, FT...

nickel is one of the toxin heavy metals in surface waters. developing new approaches aimed at removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions that are simultaneously economical and environmentally friendly is of great importance. the purpose of this study will be using nano-lignocellulose adsorbent as a natural material to remove nickel heavy metal. in this study, several important environmental p...

Background and Objectives : Ethylbenzene (EB) is a dangerously organic compound which the presence of this pollutant in water solutions can be considered as an environmental and public health hazard. In this study, nano magnetic particles (Fe 3 O 4 ) were used as an adsorbent to remove ethylbenzene from aqueous solutions. Methods : The specification of the adsorbent was investigated by transmis...

In this paper, a novel nano crystalline sodalite was synthesized and characterized by XRF, XRD, SEM and FTIR analysis. Cu2O nanoparticles (30-60 nm) were loaded on nano zeolite bed and utilized as an adsorbent to remove dimethyl phthalate. The SEM-EDX of modified zeolite indicates that the amount of copper loading on the zeolite was 4.5 wt%. Modified nano zeolite was used as an effective adsorb...

In this research, commercial nano-clay (NC) was modified with TiO2 functional groups and characterized via XRD and FTIR methods. The modified nano-clay was applied as an adsorbent for the removal of cadmium from wastewater solutions. The effects of the operating parameters including initial pH, cadmium concentration and adsorbent concentration were analyzed by the Taguchi method. The...

Adsorption is considered a cost-effective procedure, safer to handle with high removal efficiency. Activated alumina is the most commonly used adsorbent for the removal of arsenic from aqueous solutions. However, activated alumina has a low adsorption capacity and acts kinetically in a slow manner. An ideal adsorbent should have a high surface area, physical and/or chemical stability and be ine...

Graphene Oxide (GO) based adsorbents have attracted much attention from researchers because there been many reports that they are effective for removing dyes aqueous environments. That is GO has good mechanical, electrical, optical and chemical properties, so graphene its derivatives, such as oxide, used in various applications the field of environmental management. Modifying into nano size an ...

Recent efforts have been directed towards the design of efficient and contaminant selective remediation technology for the removal of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) from soils, sediments, and aquatic environments. While there is a general consensus on adsorption-based processes as the most suitable methodology for the removal of PFCs from aquatic environments, challenges exist regarding the op...

In the present study, silica aerogel- egg shell was synthesized for dye removal of colored wastewater. The nano composite structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra FTIR and scanning electron microscope SEM.The ability of nano composite absorption was assessed for removal basic violet 16BV16 dye from aqueous solutions and was compared with two other adsorbents such as egg...
