Adsorption study of desulfurization of diesel oil using activated charcoal
(2015-05)This research investigates the use of adsorptive desulfurization for diesel oil using carbon-based adsorbents, and it evaluates the effect of the adsorptive desulfurization on the ignition quality of diesel fuel. Two of ... -
Adsorptive Removal of Dyes from Aqueous Solutions Using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs)
(2019-04)Synthetic dyes are commonly found in industrial wastewater due to their wide application as colorants in the textile, paper, food, leather and plastic industries. Among the various treatment methods, adsorption is generally ... -
Comparative Evaluation of Activated Carbon and Granulated Blast Furnace Slag in Treating Greywater
(2020-05)Recycling greywater (GW) for on-site, non-potable application can reduce the load to wastewater treatment plants and stress on potable water demand for domestic water supply. However, utilization of GW requires careful ... -
Development of Activated Carbon Fibers for Organic Removals
(2017-11)Phenols are classified to be one of the most hazardous pollutants found in wastewater. They are discharged into rivers, lakes and seas, causing adverse effects on the enviromental and human health. Adsorption is a well-known ... -
Modeling Adsorption Data of Hydrocarbons on 13X Zeolite using the Gaussian Adsorption Isotherm Model
(2013-01)Subcritical and supercritical adsorption data available in the literature for alkanes, alkenes and aromatics on 13X zeolite are correlated using the Gaussian adsorption model. This model is specified by three parameters: ... -
Oil Removal From Produced Water Using Natural Materials
(2014-06)The oil and gas industry has had to deal with a massive amount of waste water as a bi-product of the exploration of oil and gas. This waste water referred to as produced water (PW) and the amount of PW increases with the ... -
Pharmaceutical wastewater treatment using graphene oxide derivatives
(2019-12)The rising problem of pharmaceutical contamination in different water bodies calls for a swift action in the treatment and removal of these emerging pollutants from water using advanced methods. Adsorption is employed as ... -
Production of Activated Carbon from Sewage Sludge for the Removal of Lead from Water
(2012-06)Different activated carbons were produced from sewage sludge taken from Sharjah waste water treatment plant. Carbonization and activation were carried out in steam environment without an external flowing inert stream or ... -
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 ... -
Selective Removal of Dual Dyes from Aqueous Solutions Using Metal Organic Framework (MIL-53(Al))
(2019-11)Organic dyes released from many industries such as textile, leather, and paper industries can be a threat to the environment and living creatures. Adsorption stands out as one of the favorite dye removal methods among the ... -
Treatment of produced water using graphene
(2016-01)Adsorption is a well-known method for high efficiency in treatment of water and wastewater at low costs. It is a promising method that can compete strongly with conventional purification methods. Carbon-based materials ... -
Use of Ionic Liquids for Produced Water Treatment
(2021-12)Produced water (PW) has adverse effects on human health and aquatic life. Finding a viable method for the efficient extraction of oil from PW is a challenging task for environmental researchers. In this work, various ionic ...
