the objective of this study was to assess the adsorption potential of activated carbon (ac) asan adsorbent for the removal of murexide (mu) from aqueous solutions. the influence of variablesparameters including ph, amount of adsorbent, sieve size of adsorbent, temperature and contact timeon mu removal was studied. following optimization of variables, the relation between concentrations ofdye re...

in this study two identical anaerobic completely mixed fluidized bed reactors with gac and sand media were employed for cod & phenol removal. at loading rate of 1.6 g phenol l-1d-1, the efficiency of phenol removal in gac & sand reactors were 97.7% & 74%, respectively. at high loading rate of phenol (6.09 g phenol i: 1d1) the efficiency of phenol removal in gac reactor was better than 95%. in g...

conclusions results indicated that annular fluidized bed reactor’s adsorbers are useful techniques for vocs adsorption. comparison of two particle ranges indicates that in all concentrations and all flow rates of the experiments, smaller particle size adsorption are better. in superficial velocity above the minimum fluidization velocity, pressure drop of fluidized beds are less than the pressur...

The combined effect of pore size and pore volume on the equilibrium adsorption capacity and the adsorption kinetics for a series of normal alkanes is determined. The selected adsorbents, activated carbon fibers (ACFs) and air activated phenolic fibers (AAPFs), possess a range of micropore sizes and have been thoroughly characterized in past work. For the normal alkane series, the lower surface ...

Parachlorophenol has an extended usage in refineries, petrochemical industries, insecticide, and herbicide manufacturing industries. Tire a solid waste, which is disposed in large amounts each year, a large number of them in landfills can cause irreparable environmental impacts. Consequently lots of efforts were done to produce activated carbon from used tires. Activated carbon was made in labo...

Enterosorbents (oral sorbents) on a basis of spherically granulated synthetic (d = 0.3-0.6 mm) and fruit stones (irregular granules d = 0.3-2 mm) carbons, and also the activated carbon fibers represent high purity and high porous materials with controllable surface chemistry. In some cases in a superficial layer of such carbons there are set amounts and types of heteroatoms nitrogen and oxygen,...

Molecular simulations for simple fluids in narrow slit-shaped carbon pores exhibit crystal-hexatic and hexatic-liquid transitions that are consistent with Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young theory. The temperature range over which the hexatic phase is stable is dramatically widened under confinement. Remarkably, the transitions, which are continuous for a single adsorbed layer, become we...

We developed an approach for determining distances between carbon nanoparticles and grafted paramagnetic ions and molecules by means of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation data. The approach was applied to copper-, cobalt- and gadolinium-grafted nanodiamonds, iron-grafted graphenes, manganese-grafted graphene oxide and activated carbon fibers that adsorb paramagnetic oxygen molecules. Our findings ...
