this paper presents a systematic study of the surface chemistry, porous texture and adsorptive characteristics of prepared new activated carbon using persian mesquite grain. several techniques and methodologies such as, proximate analysis, n2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscope (sem), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), x-ray photoe...

Electrothermal Swing Adsorption (ESA), or Joule-Effect heating of adsorbents in a cyclic adsorption process, is an energy-efficient technology on which to base a regenerative protective filter system. In an attempt to define the performance envelope of ESA systems, we evaluated three different ESA media: Activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC), Carbon Fiber Composite Molecular Sieve (CFCMS), and Mi...

Water is prime requirement for surviving of any living beings.  The existence of surface water and groundwater sources are used for domestic, agriculture and industrial purposes in all over the world. Fresh water from both the water sources is highly contaminated in recent years because of rapid population growth, modern agriculture and industrial growth. Among them, contamination of water sour...

to day, the activated carbon is being used to treat the industrial and domestic wastewaters. the suitability of activated carbon for treatment of industrial wastewaters can be quickly predicted by consideration of wastewater characteristics. the results of this paper represent a first step in determining suitability of activated carbon for treatment of wastewaters or effluent of treatment plant...

in the present study, modelling and vibration analysis of carbon nanotubes/ fiber/ polymer composite microplates are investigated. the governing equations of the carbon nanotubes/ fiber/ polymer composite microplates are derived based on first order shear deformation plate theory, rather than other plate theories, due to accuracy and simplicity of polynomial functions. the modified couple stres...

a new method for analysis of trace amount of rh(iii) ions by magnetic activated carbon modified with 2,3,5,6-tetra(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (mac/tppz) as the magnetic sorbent has been proposed. the proposed adsorbent was found to be advantageous over conventional solid phase extraction (spe) in terms of operational simplicity and low time-consuming. the experimental parameters affecting the extractio...

quantitative structure-property relationship (qspr) for estimating the adsorption of aliphatic alcohols onto activated carbon were developed using substructural molecular fragments (smf) method. the adsorption capacity of activated carbon (gr/100grc) for 150 aliphatic alcohols onto activated carbon (ac) is studied under equilibrium conditions. forward and backwards stepwise regression variable ...

background and purpose: recently, release of pollutants such as pharmaceuticals to the environment becomes one of the most important problems for soil and water. the present study was conducted to introduce walnut shell-based activated carbon (ac) as a new low-cost adsorbent for the removal of cephalexin (cfx) antibiotic from aqueous solutions. materials and methods: this study was conducted in...

toxicity has occurred in workers exposed to nickel dust or nickel carbonyl formed in refining. increased risk of nasal and lung cancers was linked to occupational nickel exposure before current workplace safety standards were set. activated carbon with nano holes used for removing contaminants in environment. the purpose of this work is preparation a new nano-absorber, gz-baki-tac-ni-88, for th...
