background and aims: from the past studies, it has been proved that consumption of heavy metals by humans may cause several chronicle problems like cancer, kidney and liver damage, high blood pressure and low blood pressure problems and etc. so, it has become very crucial to remove these heavy metals from industrial wastewater. the aim of this study was to find out a low cost and easy available...

Pyrolysis of residues from the oil extraction process of two types of microalgae, Chlamydomonas (C. sp. JSC4) and Chlorella sorokiniana (C. Sorokiniana CY1) was studied by means of a thermogravimetric analyzer. Five pseudo-components (hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin, lipid and protein) model with n=1 or n#1 was assumed for a kinetic analysis of the collected pyrolysis data. The model with n#1 ...

Carbon Molecular Sieves (CMS) are unique materials which are widely used in processes based on pressure swing adsorption (PSA) for nitrogen generation by oxygen removal from air [1, 2, 3] and for the enrichment of methane from biogas or landfill gas [4]. Steadily improved CMS were launched in the last years to cover these applications. The recent materials are characterized by higher sorption c...
