The removal of sulfur compounds from petroleum is extremely necessary for industrial and environmental reasons. Sulfur in transportation fuels is a major air pollution source. In this work, the efficiency of nanostructured Ni-clinoptilolite adsorbent was investigated in the removal of sulfur from gas oil. For this purpose, the design of experiments was performed by selecting effective factors i...

Water, being a universal solvent, is contaminated by highly toxic pollutants, which alarming for life on this planet. However, eco-friendly human efforts are constantly trying to overcome problem. In continuation of these efforts, the present study reported synthesis template-supported nanoadsorbents consisting mesoporous organosilica (MPOS) through poly-condensation organic (3-methacryloxyprop...

BACKGROUND In this Research, oyster shell supported zero valent iron nanoparticles were prepared and applied for the removal of natural organic matters (NOMs) from aqueous solutions under different experimental conditions. METHODS The nanoadsorbents prepared by wet impregnation method, then characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, X-Ray Fluorescence an...

The sorption efficiencies of graphene oxide (GO) and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) were investigated and elucidated to study their potential in treating acid mine drainage (AMD) containing Cu2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, Fe3+ and Cd2+ metal ions. Several layered GO nanosheets and f-MWCNTs were formed via the modified Hummers’ method and the acid treatment of the MWCNTs, respec...

Magnetic-fluorescent nanoparticles can offer various applications such as imaging, labeling, separation, and therapy. Here we have functionalized magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) with fluorescent dyes such as acridine orange (ACO) and rhodamine-B (RHB) via chemical crosslinkers. The fluorescent MNPs were characterized by TEM, SQUID, and FTIR to prove the successful conjugation. Fluorescent spectrosc...
