The adsorption and electroadsorption of bromide from natural water has been studied in a filter-press electrochemical cell using commercial granular activated carbon as the adsorbent. During experiments, different voltages were applied (2 V, 3 V 4 V) under anodic conditions. presence electric field improves capacity carbon. decrease concentration observed at high potentials (3 or may be due to ...

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) consist by a hydrophobic perfluorinated carbon tail and a hydrophilic ionic headgroup. Because of their unique structure, PFCs have a wide variety of applications including active ingredient in fire fighting foams, impregnation for food packing and waterproof breathable fabrics and the producing of teflon. Recently, the research interest for these compounds has b...

this study focus on the preparation of two supports including activated carbon derived from medlar and palladium nanoparticles loaded on activated carbon (pd-np-ac). subsequently, both adsorbent modified with a novel schiff base chelating agent and their potential applicability for determination of trace amounts of metal ions from aqueous solution has been investigated. the method is based on c...

biochar and activated carbon, as carbon-rich porous materials, have wide environmental applications. in the present research, rice husk (rh) was used for preparation of biochar at 400, 600, and 800 °c under simple pyrolysis, physically-activated carbon with water steam, chemically-activated carbon with potassium hydroxide (koh), and physiochemically-activated carbon with koh and steam. physical...

carbon activated powdered was prepared from activated carbon derived from olive stone. then byusing the surface methodology, many parameters such as ph, furnace temperature (t), acid ratio,time of activation that affect on the qualities prepared activated carbon produced and its efficiencywere investigated. in addition, the adsorption of congo red onto the activated olive stone carbonactive was...

Activated carbon prepared form coconut residues (CORC), and agricultural waste byproduct obtained after oil extraction was used for the adsorption of Ni(II) form aqueous solution. The process of uptake obeys both Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms. Kinetic studies indicate that it obeys Lagergram kinetic model. Quantitative removal of Ni(II) from 100mL aqueous solution containing 10mg...
