Abstract In this study, the production of porous carbon fibers from viscose was investigated. The effects final carbonization temperature (600–1000 °C) and heating rate (6–600 °C h ?1 ), which determine process, on yield, specific surface area were investigated using a central composite design. statistical models found then used to optimize both yield porosity carbonized fibers, are most import...

One of the most challenging issues that restrict the biomass/waste-based nanocarbons in supercapacitor application is the poor structural inheritability during the activating process. Herein, we prepare a class of activated carbon fibers by carefully selecting waste cotton glove (CG) as the precursor, which mainly consists of cellulose fibers that can be transformed to carbon along with good in...

ozone modification method and air-oxidation were used for the surface treatment of polyacrylonitrile(pan)-based carbon fiber. the surface characteristics of carbon fibers were characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps). the interfacial properties of carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (cf/pa6) composites were investigated by means of the single fiber pull-out tests. as a result, it...

The objective of this work is investigation of the adsorption and decomposition of Reactive Blue 19 from industrial wastewaters using laccase enzyme immobilized on activated carbon powder and fiber as adsorbent. Time, pH, temperature, stirring rate, the amount of the adsorbent, dye initial concentration, solution flow rate in the column and column height were studied as key operating parame...

the activated sludge process is the most used biological wastewater treatment method in the world. sludge bulking is one of the most common problems relateing to activated sludge wastewater treatment, and this fact causes poor settling in secondary sedimentation tank. sludge volume index(svi) and the zone settling velocity(zsv) are parameters to quantify the settleability of activated sludge . ...

abstract introduction: interferential current is one of the most popular kinds of electrical stimulation that are used in electrotherapy. despite its clinical popularity, there have been limited studies to investigate how this stimulation protocol affects the nerve fibers. this study was aimed to develop a realistic model for the stimulation of nerve fibers by interferential currents and using ...

the emerging contaminants are commonly derived from municipal, agricultural, and industrialwastewater sources and pathways. these compounds are polar and poorly biodegradable. the dynamicremoval of atenolol from aqueous solutions by activated carbon in fixed bed column systems was investigated. as far as we know, this is the first study reporting the decontamination by adsorption in fixed bed o...

in this research, the batch removal of toxic hexavalent chromium ions from wastewater and aqueous solution using dried (bd) sargassum sp. (brown marine algae) and activated carbon (ac) prepared from it was examined. biomass, ph and the initial concentration of cr(vi), adsorption models and kinetic studies were investigated. the experiment was performed in a batch system and theeffect of solutio...
