High concentration of NO (3) (-) in groundwater has raised concern over possible contamination of drinking water supplies. In addition, the formation of haloacetic acids (HAAs) as by-products during disinfection with chlorine-based agents is still a relevant issue, since HAAs pose serious health hazard. In this work, we investigated...

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...

introduction: colored compounds which often are toxic and carcinogen is one of the environmental pollutants. these pollutants should be removed prior than discharge to the environment. the aim of this study was the evaluation of maize tassel powder efficiency for the removal of reactive red 198 dye from synthetic textile wastewater. materials & methods: this experimental study was performed in ...

background and purpose: cadmium is hazardous and non-biodegradable material entering the food chain. in this paper, the removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions by sunflower powder (the natural biosorbent) was investigated. materials and methods: the experiments were performed in a batch system. the effect of parameters such as contact time, ph, cadmium concentration and adsorbent dose were ev...

Recently interest in adsorption cooling systems has increased due to their capability to utilise low grade heat sources and environmentally friendly refrigerants. Currently, most of the commercially available adsorption cooling systems utilise granular packed adsorbent beds. Enhancing the heat transfer process inside the adsorbent bed will improve the overall efficiency of the adsorption system...

Populus alba is fast and auto- growing tree which profoundly accessible in around the world. The usage of the wastes of this tree would be admirable from environmental and solid waste management point of view. Thus, herein, this data set presents a facile method for providing an adsorbent from wastes of P. alba tree. The prepared adsorbent was modified by the cationic surfactant of (C16H33)N(CH...

The hydride gas of phosphine (PH3) is commonly used for semiconductor and optoelectronic industries. The local scrubbers must immediately abate it because of its high toxicity. In this study, copper (Cu) loaded on the sol-gel-derived gamma-alumina (Al2O3) adsorbents are prepared and tested to investigate the possibility of PH3 removal and sorbent regeneration. Test results showed that during th...

D iatomite is an inexpensive natural mineral. It can be used as an adsorbent to remove organic and inorganic pollutants from the waste waters without further improvement. In this research, the adsorption of two different basic colorants including Basic Yellow 28 (BY28) and Malachite Green (MG) by diatomite has been investigated in an aqua binary mixture and the effects of different parameters h...

This study investigated the photocatalytic behaviors for the nanocomposite of TiO2 P25 and Semnan natural zeolite in the decomposition of tetracycline under visible light in an aqueous solution. The structural features of the composite were investigated by a series of complementary techniques that included X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning elec...
