the kinetic study of methylene blue (mb) adsorption using acid-activated spent tea (aast) as an adsorbent from aqueous solution with the aim of comparing linear and non-linear regression analysis methods was performed at varying initial mb concentrations (10-100 mg/l). hence, spent tea leaves, which were activated using concentrated sulfuric acid, were prepared. the physicochemical characterist...

Changes in surface characteristics of ground and polished human enamel after adsorption of two types of aminefluorides (AmF 297 and AmF 335) have been studied. After adsorption of aminefluorides from solutions with concentrations up to 10 mM for 2 min followed by rinsing of the surface with distilled water, contact angle measurements were carried out to yield surface free energies and ellifisom...

An investigation was conducted to determine hepatitis A virus (HAV) and norovirus (NV) presence in marine recreational waters (MRWs) from two Mexican tourists beaches (Altata and Mazatlan), located at the northwestern state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Also, Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) analyses were conducted between physicochemical parameters (temperature, turbidity and salinity) and viral organis...

In this work, we report a new well dispersed molybdenum complex attached through the mediation of aminopropylsilyl groups on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The prepared hybrid nanomaterial was characterized with different physicochemical methods such as Fourier transform infrared and atomic absorption spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-...

This work investigates the effectiveness of FS loaded with CaO, MgO, and CeO2 for CO2 adsorption. Different techniques such as XRD, ATR–FTIR, Raman, CO2–TPD, in situ FTIR, FESEM, TEM were employed. Upon metal oxides loading, alteration textural properties, increases weak moderate basic strength quantity active sites well disappearance dendritic structures CaO/FS observed. The FTIR studies confi...

Immobilization of catalysts on the surface of some inert supports makes therecovering step easier. Because of the specific physicochemical properties, zeolites are good candidate as catalyst supports. In this study, zeolite X was synthesized by natural kaolin and TiO2 was incorporated into zeolite phase by impregnation method. Degradation of Safranin Orange, methylene blue and 2,4–di...
