In this study, powder activated carbon (PAC) and magnetic nanoparticles of iron (III) oxide were used for synthesis of Fe3O4-activated carbon magnetic nanoparticles (AC-Fe3O4 MNPs) as an adsorbent for the removal of aniline. The characteristics of adsorbent were evaluated by SEM, TEM, XRD and BET. Also, the impact of different parameters such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, aniline initi...

In this research, two carbon structures silica nanohybrids Pickering emulsions were prepared. Graphite and activated carbon were carbon allotropes with different morphologies of laminar and spherical, respectively. The effect of carbon morphology investigated on the related silica nanohybrids Pickeringemulsions for C-EOR. Therefore, nanohybrids were prepared with graphite and activated carbon t...

Antibiotic residues in drinking water have become a global problem, especially in developing countries. However, effective purification of water contaminated by antibiotics remains a great challenge. Here, we investigated the removing of tetracycline by carbon nanomaterials with different structures and surface functionalities. The result shows that a membrane of thick graphene oxide (GO) and a...

the used activated carbon was derived from pine-cone and was used for the removal of acid black 1(ab1) and acid blue 113(ab113) dyes. a batch sorption study was carried out in order to obtain optimum isotherm model. the study showed the best fit of the adsorption isotherm data was obtained using the langmuir model for both dyes. the monolayer maximum saturation capacities of ab1 and ab113 dyes ...

background and objectives: because of toxical and hazardous properties of hexavalent chromium (cr(vi)), its removal by an economical and efficient method is necessary. the use of activated carbon, as an adsorbent, is a common and effective method for hexavalent chromium removal. thus the aim of this study was to produce granular and powdered activated carbon form peganum harmala and compare the...

in this research, rice husk and activated carbon adsorbents were used for removal of lead ion from aqueous solution at ph= 6. in the batch tests experimental parameters were studied, including contact time and initial metal ions concentration.survey of the equilibrium time at different concentration showed that equilibrium time is reduced with decrease of initial concentration of solution from ...

BTX compounds (Benzene, toluene and xylenes) are the main pollutants in air and fuels. Recent environmental legislations are limited the amount of these materials specially the amount of benzene in gasoline due to its carcinogen effects on health. In this research, the BTX hydrogenation was carried out using nanoparticles of Co supported on MWCNTs (multiwall carbon nanotubes) and AC (activated ...

Structural ordering is widely present in molecules and materials. However, the organization of molecules on the curved surface of nanoparticles is still the least understood owing to the major limitations of the current surface characterization tools. By the merits of x-ray crystallography, we reveal the structural ordering at all scales in a super robust 133-gold atom nanoparticle protected by...
