In the quest for eco-friendly and cost-effective adsorbents for the removal of phenol from aqueous systems, garlic peel has been identified as a potential candidate in our earlier study. In the current investigations, we have studied the performance of garlic peel powder in packed fixed-bed column, to assess its potential for real-time deployment for remediation […]
Biomass-derived adsorbents have been intensively studied due to their competence in reducing pollutants with conventional methods. Flowers are used as source in medicine, cosmetics and even as adsorbents for pollutant abatement. In this study, the microparticles from Chrysanthemum indicum were used as adsorbent for reducing the Congo red dye concentration from synthetic solution. Batch trials […]
The current study was designed to give more knowledge and helping to exploit the leaves of the plants L. stoechas collected in Tlemcen region in the west of Algeria by determining the anti-corrosive activity of its essential oil. The inhibitory efficiency of the essential oil of the plant obtained by hydrodistillation and characterized by GC […]
Batch adsorbers were designed for the adsorption of the fabric dyes Basic Violet 16 (BV16) and Reactive Red 195 (RR195) on locally available low-cost natural adsorbents of Persian bentonite, vermicompost and Persian charred dolomite. The adsorption isotherm data were in agreement with the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 > 99%). Results showed that with increasing the adsorption capacity […]
Mesocellular foams (MCFs) silica was successfully synthesized using hydrothermal method. The mesoporous material was characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, low temperature nitrogen adsorption–desorption, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy. The low temperature nitrogen adsorption–desorption results showed that the synthesized MCFs has a diameter of 12 nm. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the MCFs synthesized had […]
Tetracycline is one of the most widely used antibiotics that causes contamination of aqueous environments and has raised serious concern during the past few years. In this work, adsorption of tetracycline on a modified zeolite was studied through a batch system. Synthetic zeolite 13X was modified using Fe(III). The results show that the removal efficiency […]
To develop a new adsorbent for removal of nitrate and to enhance the adsorbent separation from aqueous solution, surface modification of titanium dioxide nanoparticles with nano-zero-valent iron (nZVI) was performed through chemical coprecipitation of magnetic nanoparticles on TiO2 surface. Morphological, structural and magnetic properties of modified adsorbents (TiO2/nZVI) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), […]
Heat stable salts such as total organic acids (TOA) and heavy metals are well known contaminants in the acid gas removal systems operating using alkanolamines such as methyldiethanolamine (MDEA, 50 wt%). Decontamination of TOA and heavy metals from lean MDEA always remain as a challenge to the gas industry, as accumulation of TOA deteriorates the solvent […]
The present work proposes the study of the extract of Senecio anteuphorbium (SA) as green corrosion inhibitor. This inhibitory effect of SA extract on the corrosion of S300 steel in hydrochloric acid 1 M has been evaluated by using the potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. From the outcome of the polarization curves, SA extract acts […]
