With the growth and development of chemical plants, the amount of mercury released in wastewater has increased. Mercury in wastewater contains harmful compounds which are hazardous to the human health and living organisms. Therefore, its removal from wastewater is significant. There are various techniques or methods available for removing mercury from aqueous solutions. This study focused upon ...

today the industrial wastes are one of the main problems in the developing countries. discharging the industrial wastewater into environment is harmful for human health and other living creatures.thus decreasing of the pollution load of waste waters is an important environmental issue.adsorption of chemical oxygen demand by biomass wastes can be a proper and low cost method for cod removal from...

carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas that contributes to the global warming by more than %60. absorption has been widely used to treat high concentrations of co2 in synthesis gas production, hydrogen manufacturing, and natural gas processing. the most well established method to capture co2 is its removal by absorption into amine solutions in the presence of activators. in this research, co2...

Removal of sulfur and nitrogen compounds from national commercial diesel through adsorption onto activated carbon was studied. Brazilian commercial activated carbon samples (AC) were modified by acid oxidation and, alternatively, were impregnated with palladium chloride. Modified carbon samples showed a significant increase in the quantity of acid sites, particularly those AC submitted to impre...

A thin film of epinephrine (EP) was electrochemically deposited on the surface of glassy carbon electrode previously activated in NaHCO3 solution. The cyclic voltammograms of the modified electrode indicate that the surface confined EP are strongly dependent on the solution pH, as expected for quinone/hydroquinone functionalities. The EP-modified glassy carbon electrode exhibited...

A simple and sensitive method for the determination of some metalloids and heavy metals in water samples is presented. The method is based on the preconcentration of the attachment of chelating functionalities with metalloids and toxic metals irreversibly and targeted towards toxic metals adsorbed on modified activated carbon, activated carbon and red soil particles at pH 3.0–9.0±0.2, followed ...

this research was done in order to determine the basic criteria for “tehran oil refinery effluemt treatmentunit” to prove the feasibility of the application of powdered activated carbon in aeration zone of activated sludge system. the main stages of this research included: determination of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of raw wastewater preparation of two pilot scale units of act...
