aActivated carbon is a widely used adsorbent in the adsorption process, mainly due to its porous surface structure, which provides a high surface area. The high cost of activated carbon has led to the development of new adsorbents with similar characteristics [12–14]. Therefore, there is a ...
Using < 180 mesh particles of activated carbon in mixed batch reactors, the carbon's adsorptive capacity for free chlorine was established in 2 h; the carbons' adsorptive capacities for free chlorine were in the same order as their phenol numbers, the indicator of small micropores. The coconut...
Recognizing the high cost of activated carbon, many investigators have studied the feasibility of economical, commercially available materials as its possible replacements. Biosorption based on binding capacities of different low-cost adsorbents includes natural, agricultural, and industrial by-product wastes...
Many models are available for ASP, such as for degradation of organic carbon material, nitrification and denitrification, and biological phosphorus removal (Activated Sludge Models ASM1, ASM2, and ASM3) [9]. Other models are also available for modifications of activated sludge such as moving bed...
The main function of Activated Carbon Filter is to remove organic matters and odor. Contaminants are also removed more effectively if they are in contact with activated carbon for a longer time. Activated carbon is widely applied in many areas in modern soc...
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined that regulation of mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants is appropriate and necessary. To aid in this determination, preliminary estimates of the performance and cost of powdered activated carbon (PAC) injection-based mercury control technologies ...
The potential of durian rind powder which is an agricultural waste to be used as a biosorbent to replace the use of activated carbon in the industry was investigated. Several factors such as pH, contact time and initial adsorbate concentration were studied to develop an adsorption equilibrium ...
In this investigation, a series of unoxidized/oxidized, steam- or carbon dioxide-activated almond shell carbons were evaluated for their physical, chemical and adsorptive properties and their estimated cost of production. Comparisons were made between activation methods and with commercial carbons to ...
Removal of arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) on chemically modified low-cost adsorbent: batch and column operations Batch and column operations were performed utilizing thioglycolated sugarcane carbon (TSCC), a low-cost adsorbent, to remove As(III) and As(V) from aqueous... P Roy,NK Mondal,S ...
The optimum composition was 4:1.03:2.66 (polyaniline: activated carbon: cobalt ferrite) for best electrochemical performance. The specific capacitance of the optimized composite material was 687.9F/g. The optimized ternary composite material also demonstrated the 47.5Wh/kg highest energy density and ...
