the removal of organic precursors of disinfection by-products (dbps), i.e. natural organic matter (nom), prior to disinfection is considered as the most effective approach to minimise the formation of dbps. trihalomethanes (thms) as the main group of dbps are categorized and considered to have the potentiality of increasing the rate of liver, kidney and cns adverse effects. this study which pre...

In this research, two carbon structures silica nanohybrids Pickering emulsions were prepared. Graphite and activated carbon were carbon allotropes with different morphologies of laminar and spherical, respectively. The effect of carbon morphology investigated on the related silica nanohybrids Pickeringemulsions for C-EOR. Therefore, nanohybrids were prepared with graphite and activated carbon t...

the used activated carbon was derived from pine-cone and was used for the removal of acid black 1(ab1) and acid blue 113(ab113) dyes. a batch sorption study was carried out in order to obtain optimum isotherm model. the study showed the best fit of the adsorption isotherm data was obtained using the langmuir model for both dyes. the monolayer maximum saturation capacities of ab1 and ab113 dyes ...

background and objectives: because of toxical and hazardous properties of hexavalent chromium (cr(vi)), its removal by an economical and efficient method is necessary. the use of activated carbon, as an adsorbent, is a common and effective method for hexavalent chromium removal. thus the aim of this study was to produce granular and powdered activated carbon form peganum harmala and compare the...

in this research, rice husk and activated carbon adsorbents were used for removal of lead ion from aqueous solution at ph= 6. in the batch tests experimental parameters were studied, including contact time and initial metal ions concentration.survey of the equilibrium time at different concentration showed that equilibrium time is reduced with decrease of initial concentration of solution from ...

Cellulose wastes of a wood and paper factory were used to produce activated carbon. Several chemical agents under various conditions were used for production of activated carbon and hence their adsorption properties have been evaluated. In addition the effect of process parameters such as raw material, chemical agent concentration, impregnation ratio, carbonization temperature, carbonization ti...

Background & Aims of the Study: High concentration of nitrogen compounds in water and wastewater can be caused various problems and diseases such as methhemoglobinemia and eutrophication. The aim of this study was investigated nitrification and denitrification from wastewater using integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) includes powder activated carbon. Materias and Methods: The labo...

background: the efficacy of nh4cl-induced activated carbon (nac) was examined in order to adsorb rr198, an azo reactive model dye, from an aqueous solution. methods: the effects of ph (3 to 10), adsorbent dose (0.1 to 1.2 g/l), dye concentration and contact time on the adsorption efficiency were investigated. results: the results showed that the removal of dye was highest at a solution ph of 7 ...
