Reduction of Leachability of Sewage Sludge by Alum Treatment
(ICE Virtual Library, 2014-04)The sustainable disposal practices of waste materials have drawn much attention in the last two decades. One of the growing disposal practices is the use of land-based application (e.g. fertiliser). However, the application ... -
Remediation of water from crude oil spill using a fibrous sorbent
(Elsevier, 2016-11)Remediation of oil-polluted water was studied using waste tire cord fiber WTCF as a waste fibrous sorbent. The rate of sorption, sorption capacity, oil retention, water uptake, adsorption isotherm model, and kinetic behavior ... -
Removal of benzo (a) anthracene from water using a novel UAE sludge-based activated adsorbent
(Desalination Publications, 2017-12)A new adsorbent material from sewage sludge of relatively high surface area (2,230 m2/g) was prepared by carbonization and chemical activation using steam at controlled semi-static conditions. The pore size distributions ... -
Removal of chromium by continuous flow using wool packed columns
(2010-01)Wool was utilized for the removal of Cr from aqueous solution. The wool fibers exhibited selective removal of Cr(VI) at pH 1.0. Breakthrough curves showed that wool can absorb Cr(VI) up to the maximum range studied (600 ... -
Removal of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Environments Using Micelle-Clay Adsorption
(2013-12)Removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions under different conditions was investigated using either clay (montmorillonite) or micelle-clay complex, the last obtained by adsorbing critical micelle concentration of ... -
Removal of diclofenac potassium from wastewater using clay-micelle complex
(2012-06)The presence of an ionized carboxyl group in the widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drug diclofenacpotassium results in a high mobility of diclofenac and in its low sorption under conditions of slow sand ... -
Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater Using Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
(2017-04)Recently, carbon nanotubes have been employed as new adsorbent for the removal of many pollutants. In this study, raw multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were firstly tested for the removal of lead from aqueous solutions. ... -
Removal of Hexavalent Chromium from Wastewater using Modified Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes
(2018-12)Recently, the interest and research on the removal of heavy metals from wastewater have dramatically increased due to the adverse effects they have on humans, flora and fauna. Chromium, which is a heavy metal, is the tenth ... -
Removal of lead (II) ions from Aqueous Solution using Eggplant Peels Activated Charcoal
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-01)The eggplant peel activated charcoal (EPPAC) was investigated as an adsorbent for the removal of lead II ions from aqueous solution. Three methods were tested for the production of eggplant peel activated charcoal (EPPAC) ... -
Removal of Lead (II) Ions from Wastewater Using Eggplant Peels
(2013-01)In this study, three methods have been tested for the production of eggplant peel activated charcoal (EPPAC) from eggplant peel charcoal (EPPC). A new method has also been devised which does not include continuous involvement ... -
Removal of lead ions from wastewater using multi walled carbon nanotubes modified with sodium lauryl sulfate
(Desalination Publications, 2017-12)Multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) were synthe-sized, characterized and successfully used for the removal of Pb2+ from aqueous solutions. Adsorp-tion results revealed that this ... -
Removal of nitrate from JUST wastewater effluent: a case study
(2013)Eutrophication phenomena occurred at JUST constructed pond. The main reason of this eutrophication process is the wastewater effluent of the campus wastewater treatment plant. This is due high nitrate content of the water ... -
Removal of Pb(II) from Aqueous Solutions by Zeolites, Porcelanite and Sands: Correlation of Morphology and Chemical Composition to Batch Removal Efficiency
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-03)Chemical compositions of natural zeolites, porcelanite (opal-CT) and local sands were determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and correlated with their Pb(II) removal efficiencies. Zeolites and porcelanite were from the ... -
