Mesoporous pellet adsorbent developed from mixing at an appropriate ratio of natural clay, iron oxide, iron powder, and rice bran was used to investigate the optimization process of batch adsorption parameters for treating aqueous solution coexisting with arsenate and arsenite. Central composite design under response surface methodology was applied for optimizing and observing both individual a...

the electrocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (mo) on pbo2-tio2 nanocomposite electrodes was studied by cyclic voltammetry and bulk electrolysis. the results reveal that pbo2-tio2 nanocomposite electrodes possess higher oxygen evolution overpotential than pbo2 electrodes and the electrocatalytic degradation of mo on the electrodes is direct oxidation process. the influence of experimental p...

photoreactor using solar radiation. the effect of various parameters such as ph, initial concentration of pollutant, catalyst dose, oxidant, and time variation were studied. the determination of the best catalyst was studied amongst the four catalysts (tio2, zno, psa and ssa) .the kinetics of degradation of isooctane was also studied. the results showed that tio2 was the best catalyst with a de...

TiO2 nanoparticles, as a photocatalyst for oxidation of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) as an organophosphorus simulant of chemical warfare agent, were prepared by using sol-gel method. The prepared nanoparticles were then modified with transition metals in order to decrease the electron-hole recombination and increase the photocatalytic activity. Transition metal ions including Pt...

in this study, degradation of p-chlorophenol (p-cp) was evaluated using persulfate (ps) activated zerovalent iron (zvi) based ultraviolet (uv) in a bench scale photoreactor. the effect of operational parameters such as solution ph (3, 7, and 11), reaction time (0-60 minutes), zvi dosage (0.15, 1.25, 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mm), ps concentration (0.5, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 mm), and initial p-cp concentr...

adsorption capacity of 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol (4c2np) onto nano-ti02 from aqueous solutions wasinvestigated in a batch system by considering the effects of various parameters like contact time, nano-tio2 dosage, initial ph and initial 4c2np concentration. optimum conditions for 4c2np adsorptionwere found to be initial ph z 2, nano-tio2 closer- 0.01 g and equilibrium time 1 h. the adsorptionkine...

Liquid membrane processes have attracted many interests in recent years for removal of heavy metals such as cadmium from industrial wastewaters. In this study, a modified hybrid liquid membrane system is introduced. The setup is worked by applying the water-insoluble dioctyl phthalate as the organic solvent. N-octanol and tetra butyl ammonium bromide are added to the organic phase to increase t...
