adsorption capacity of cr (vi) onto cousinia eryngioides boiss, activated carbon was investigated in a batch system by considering the effects of various parameters like contact time, initial concentration, ph, temperature, agitation speed, absorbent dose and particle size. cr (vi) removal is ph dependent and found to be maximum at ph 2.0. the amounts of cr (vi) adsorbed increased with increase...

In the present study, we compare a new carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbent, Yabashi lime(®) with a conventional CO2 absorbent, Sodasorb(®) as a control CO2 absorbent for Compound A (CA) and Carbon monoxide (CO) productions. Four dogs were anesthetized with sevoflurane. Each dog was anesthetized with four preparations, Yabashi lime(®) with high or low-flow rate of oxygen and control CO2 absorbent wit...

The aim of the current research is to examine the potential of locally available natural clay mineral to act as an effective absorbent for waste engine oil treatment. The clay mineral was collected from the southern region of Saudi Arabia and was used without any kind of surface modification. The clay mineral was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XPS) and Braunner-Em...

Determination of an effective rate constant and activation energy allowed the application of steady-state theory to predict concentrations of compound A from sevoflurane concentrations, fresh gas flow rate, absorbent temperature and amount of absorbent. Studies by eight research groups were compared. Lower concentrations of compound A than predicted were observed at low flow rates, suggesting t...

the steel slag is the main by-product of steel industry. the aim of this study using the steel slag as a low-cost absorbent in order to remove cadmium pollutant from industrial wastewater. some factors that affect the process of cadmium removal by steel slag such as ph, contact time, absorbent dosage and cadmium initial concentration has been studied. standard solution of synthetic wastewater i...

Introduction Many analysts 1,2,3 identify carbon dioxide (CO 2) capture and separation as a major roadblock in efforts to cost effectively mitigate greenhouse gas emissions via sequestration. An assessment 4 conducted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) Greenhouse Gas Research and Development Programme cited separation costs from $35 to $264 per tonne of CO 2 avoided for a conventional coa...

Based on the adsorption performance of composite microspheres with activated carbon (AC) and sodium alginate (SA), as well as the magnetic property of Fe₃O₄, we designed and explored an efficient strategy to prepare a unique, multifunctional Fe₃O₄/AC/SA composite absorbent (MSA-AC) that extracted dye from aqueous solution. The composite exhibited the following advantages: rapid and simple to pr...
