Abstract:  In this study adiffusion based mathematical model was developed to compare the performance of amine-grafted adsorbents with that of 13X zeolite in a fixed-bed adsorption tower which is used to capture CO2 from both humid and dry nitrogen stream under industrial conditions. The results show that the performance of amine-grafted adsorbent and 13X zeolite is almost the same in the dry ...

In this research, the generation process of engineered microsphere agarose adsorbent has been explained that has surfaces with different active sites to adsorb protein nanoparticles into the fluidized-bed system. Also, excellent selectivity of protein nanoparticles, high adsorption capacity, and fast equilibrium rate through the eco-friendly polymeric adsorbents were vital aims in here. Hence, ...

Renal failure has been being concerned for serval decades. Over the world, more than one million people die annually due to End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) that is the ultimate and the worst stage of kidney disease, in which the functions of patients’ kidneys have been completely lost. Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) are most common among diffe...

One of the most serious environmental problems is the existence of hazardous and toxic pollutants in industrial wastewaters. The major hindrance is the simultaneous existence of many/different types of pollutants as (i) dyes; (ii) heavy metals; (iii) phenols; (iv) pesticides and (v) pharmaceuticals. Adsorption is considered to be one of the most promising techniques for wastewater treatment ove...

Clean drinking water is one of the implicit requisites fora healthy human population. However the growing industrialization and extensive use of chemicals for various concerns, has increased the burden of unwanted pollutants in the drinking water of developing countries like India. The entry of potentially hazardous substances into the biota has been magnifying day by day. In the absence of a p...

The purification of plasmid DNA is hampered by the low performance of conventional chromatographic adsorbents which possess small particle pore diameters. Most of these adsorbents are tailored for the high adsorption capacity of proteins with size less < 10 nm. In columns packed with such adsorbents, large molecules such as pDNA with sizes > 100 nm adsorb predominantly at the particle outer sur...

Activated clay minerals have been widely used in the edible oil refining industry for decolorization of crude oil by adsorption, and so far many methods have been used to improve their decolorization efficiency. Herein, we successfully prepared a series of carbon/attapulgite (C/APT) composite adsorbents by a one-step in-situ carbonization process with natural starch (St) as the carbon source. I...

INTRODUCTION Cytokines are basic targets that have to be removed effectively in order to improve the patient's health status in treating severe inflammation, sepsis, and septic shock. Although there are different adsorbents commercially available, the success of their clinical use is limited. Here, we tested different adsorbents for their effective removal of cytokines from plasma and the resul...

Fluoride is a poison that accumulates in our bones. It has been associated with cancer in young males; osteoporosis; reduced I.Q; and hip fractures in the elderly, to name a few. The permissible limit of fluoride concentration in drinking water is 1.5mg/L according to WHO guidelines. Therefore, knowledge of its removal, using best technique with maximum efficiency is needed. Among various techn...
