Modeling and optimization of nonylphenol removal from contaminated water media using a magnetic recoverable composite by artificial neural networks

Herein, activated carbon impregnated iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4/AC) were synthesized to determine their potentials for the adsorption of nonylphenol (NP) in aqueous solution with different experimental variables, namely the pH of the solution, contact time, adsorbent dosage and the initial NP concentration. Additionally, an artificial neural network system was used to find the relative ...

Mercury - LNG`s problem - Under some conditions mercury can be a major source for concern in LNG processing

Untitled Document Summary: Mercury induced corrosion in LNG plants using mixed refrigerant (Fig.1) can be severe on the cycle gas side of exchangers, primarily during warmup periods. The problem can be avoided by removing mercury from the feed and cycle gas liquid. Also, operating conditions during de-riming can be set to avoid or minimize the time during which ...

Adsorption of cadmium(II) from aqueous solutions by thiol-functionalized activated carbon

Thiol groups of adsorbent surfaces offer strong affinities for heavy metal ions, such as Hg(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), and so on. In this study, thiol group was impregnated to activated carbon by a series of treatments of oxidation and chlorination followed by 1,2-ethanedithiol introduction in order to investigate the adsorption properties of Cd(II) in aqueous solution. Batch sorption experiments were ...

Aluminum–cerium double-metal impregnated activated carbon: a novel composite for fluoride removal from aqueous solution

Several studies have focused on the application of layered double hydroxide or nanoparticle based adsorbent for removing fluoride. The objectives of this study are to impregnate aluminum (Al) and cerium (Ce) within the pore spaces of activated carbon (AC) for removal of fluoride from water and to evaluate the partitioning behavior of fluoride by the double-metal-AC composite. To achieve the ...

Preparation, characterization, and application of activated carbon from low-cost material for the adsorption of tetracycline antibiotic from aqueous solutions

In this study, a new zinc chloride (ZnCl2) impregnated activated carbon (Zn-AC) was prepared from oak charcoals as low-cost material and used as adsorbent for tetracycline (TC) adsorption. The Zn-AC was characterized using field emission-scanning electron microscope, powder X-ray diffraction, and CHNS-O analyses. Specific surface area of the adsorbent was also measured using the Brunauer, ...

Replacement of hazardous chromium impregnating agent from silver/copper/chromium-impregnated active carbon

Activated carbon (AC) is widely used as an effective adsorbent in many applications, including industrial-scale air purification systems and air filter systems in gas masks. In general, ACs without chemical impregnation are good adsorbents of organic vapors but poor adsorbents of lowmolecular-weight or polar gases such as chlorine, sulfur dioxide (SO2), formaldehyde, and ammonia (NH3). ...

Application of impregnated almond shell activated carbon by zinc and zinc sulfate for nitrate removal from water

Nitrate is a wide spread contaminant in both ground and surface water due to excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers in agricultural activities and disposal of untreated sanitary and industrial wastes (Hudak,2000 ; Almasri and Kaluarachchi,2004). Elevated nitrate concentrations in drinking water are linked to health problems such as ethemoglobinemia in infants and stomach cancer in adults. ...

The Dangers of Hydrogen Sulfide and Filtration with Activated Carbon

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a poisonous, highly flammable, colorless gas that is associated with a ‘rotten egg’ odor. As stated by cchealth.org, “hydrogen sulfide is created naturally by decaying organic matter and is released from sewage sludge, liquid manure, and sulfur hot springs.” It also is a by-product from industrial processes such as natural gas processing, ...
