the used activated carbon was derived from pine-cone and was used for the removal of acid black 1(ab1) and acid blue 113(ab113) dyes. a batch sorption study was carried out in order to obtain optimum isotherm model. the study showed the best fit of the adsorption isotherm data was obtained using the langmuir model for both dyes. the monolayer maximum saturation capacities of ab1 and ab113 dyes ...

Adsorption is a chemical method for water purification. In the present study, native and impregnated active carbon was used for adsorption to evaluate the efficacy of the process in manganese removal from aqueous solutions. Impregnation reaction was performed using the precipitate colloids of manganese oxides onto the carbon surface. X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, a...

active carbons were produced from bagasse, millet and sorghum straws by chemical activation with h3po4. carbon precursors with particle size of 1180 î¼m were used, in order to overcome difficulties caused by low density and high ash content. the influence of preparation conditions (temperature, residence time, and acid impregnation ratio) on the yield of the active carbons was examined. the imp...

active carbon is char derived from pyrolysis of organic materials. it has a high porosity level and is used to filter fluids. many types of agricultural materials are used to produce active carbon. the trunk of the date palm, with its low density and high porosity, has great potential for producing active carbon. in this research, the bark was pyrolyzed at 450°c for 60 min to produce active car...

In order to reducing the risk of heavy metals concentration in plant tissues which are among the edible plants by human, find the active carbon ability in heavy metals removal from Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) contaminated soils and its effect on growth and nutrient absorption of Sweet basil, this greenhouse experiment was conducted in the faculty of agriculture, Islamic Azad University, Karaj br...

background: stevia rebaudiana bertoni, an important anti-diabetic medicinal plant, becomes an inevitable alternative to sugar. due to the propagation difficulties, tissue culture is the best alternative for rapid mass propagation of stevia plants. objective: the present study was conducted to optimize a protocol for rapid micropropagation of stevia rebaudiana by shoot tip explants and to invest...

background and objectives: active coal is applied in tissue culture media as the absorbant of phenolic compounds and toxic materials; but no research has been done regarding its direct application like spray on plants. application of this material as the carbone source is based on researches done by sucrose; which had highly positive effect on plant growth and development. thus; a hypothesis wa...
