A biopolymer based matrix of M. Oleifera Seed Powder (MOSP) and Ferrous Sulphate Heptahydrate (FSH) salt was formulated as adsorbent for odor inhibition in poultry farms. The characterized using FT-IR technique its performance NH4+ removal from aqueous solutions examined via sorption studies. result showed an excellent at 0.1 g sorbent dosage, pH 9 30 min agitation time. This indicates that the...

The necessity of decontaminating effluents for the dual purpose environmental beneficiation and valorization low-grade resources is driving development new sorbents. functionalization biopolymers a promising strategy improving sorption performance. Incorporating magnetic micro-particles offers an opportunity facilitated recovery spent micron-size sorbent. Combining facilities biopolymer represe...

Assessment of adsorption zinc (II) ions from aqueous solution using alginate-SBA-15 sorbent nanocomposite was investigated as a function of zinc concentration, solution pH, and contact time. For that purpose, the alginate-SBA-15 nanocomposite adsorbent was prepared through encapsulation method by immobilization mesoporous SBA-15 into a polymeric matrix. Identification of functional groups and s...

3D printing has emerged as an attractive way of formulating structured adsorbents, it imparts lower manufacturing costs compared to hydraulic extrusion while also allowing for unprecedented geometric control. However, binderless structures have not been fabricated by printing, ink formulation previously required clay binders which cannot be easily removed. In this study, we report the developme...

The present work was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of nickel (II) removal from aqueous solution by adsorption onto a biopolymer adsorbent. The adsorbent was prepared using modification of mesoporous silicate SBA-15 with alginate biopolymer (alginateSBA-15) by encapsulation method. Morphological structure of the obtained nanocomposite adsorbent was characterized by XRD, scanning electro...

The aim of this study is to investigate the utilization of silkworm cocoon waste, such as pierced or stained cocoons, as a sorbent material for the removal of motor and vegetable oils from water. The oil-sorption capacity, rate and reusability of the material were evaluated. The results show the high sorption capacity of the silkworm cocoon waste sorbent (42-52 g(oil)/g(sorbent) for motor oil a...

Experiments were conducted to determine the ability of a hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (T-Bind) sorbent to reduce the toxicity of aflatoxins (AF) or T-2 toxin in male broiler chickens from day of hatch to 21 d of age. In Experiment 1, the sorbent was added at 0.250 or 0.375% to diets containing AF at 5 or T-2 toxin at 8 mg/kg of diet. When compared with controls, AF reduced BW gain b...

Allyl propionate-maleic anhydride-styren terpolymer has been modified with glycerin in order to prepare a new cross-linked functional polymer sorbent. The synthesized cross-linked polymer sorbent has a network structure and contains carboxylic acid, carbonyl, hydroxy, and ester groups, all of which are capable of interacting with metal ions. The sorption behavior of UO 2 ions under optimum sorp...

A report on a project conducted jointly under a cooperative agreement between: Cover photo: Coolside and LIMB are sorbent injection technologies. In Coolside, the sorbent is injected into the flue gas duct, while in LIMB, sorbent is injected into the upper portion of the boiler. Both clean coal technologies rely on humidification— mist sprayed into the flue gas (as shown in the photo)— which he...

Selective cytopheretic inhibitory device (SCD) therapy is an immunomodulatory treatment provided by a synthetic biomimetic membrane in an extracorporeal circuit, which has shown promise in preclinical large animal models of severe sepsis as well as in clinical trials treating patients with acute kidney injury and multiple organ failure. During SCD therapy, citrate is administered to lower ioniz...
