Separation of Cu(II) ions from synthetic solutions and wastewater by raw and calcined seashell waste
(Desalination Publ, Hopkinton, 2018)
The limestone and lime are agents widely used for separation of toxic metals from contaminated water. To reduce the exploitation of natural limestone deposits, appropriate replacements are sought out among the waste materials ...
Photocatalytic degradation of azo pyridone dye: Optimization using response surface methodology
(Desalination Publ, Hopkinton, 2013)
Response surface methodology (RSM) and central composite design have been applied to describe and optimize photocatalytic degradation of azo pyridone dye using TiO2, H2O2, and simulated sun light. The mutual interactions ...
Study of the iron(III)-modified clinoptilolite in the adsorption of phosphate from aqueous medium: mechanism and kinetics
(Desalination Publ, Hopkinton, 2017)
Clinoptilolite-rich tuff (Z) enriched with Fe(III) was studied in the removal of phosphate ions present in aqueous medium at pH = 6.5. Fe(III) modification was performed by a simple wet impregnation giving the product (FeZ) ...
Adsorption kinetics of polyethersulfone membrane-supported hydrogels
(Desalination Publ, Hopkinton, 2018)
This study presents the route for preparation of the membrane-supporting materials with good mechanical behavior and adsorption properties that provide functionality and are easy to use in various environments. Polyethersulfone ...
Porous cordierite-supported polyethyleneimine composites for nickel(II) and cadmium(II) ions removal
(Desalination Publ, Hopkinton, 2020)
Industrial/technological growth is directly connected with environmental pollution, but its influence can be minimized through pollution abatement approaches such as the treatment of industrial wastewater. In this study, ...
Adsorption performances of branched aminated waste polyacrylonitrile fibers: experimental versus modelling study
(Desalination Publ, Hopkinton, 2019)
Synthesis of branched aminated waste polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers, realized in a three addition/amidation successive steps, was performed in order to obtain AS3-PAN adsorbent. Influence of various operating parameters ...
Antibacterial activity of metal-containing clinoptilolite in natural seawater
(Desalination Publ, Hopkinton, 2019)
Antibacterial activity of a natural zeolite, clinoptilolite (Z), enriched with about 0.4-0.5 mmol of Ag (Ag-Z), Cu (Cu-Z) or Zn (Zn-Z) was tested toward two strains of Gram-negative bacteria - Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter ...
The influence of polychromatic light on methomyl degradation in TiO2 and ZnO aqueous suspension
(Desalination Publ, Hopkinton, 2014)
The photocatalytic degradation of the insecticide methomyl in water using TiO2 Merck Eusolex (R) T (anatase) under Osram ultra-vitalux (R) lamp light (315-400 nm, 300W) was studied. The effect of the operational parameters, ...
Effective removal of Reactive Orange 16 dye from aqueous solution by amine-functionalized sepiolites
(Desalination Publ, Hopkinton, 2019)
Natural and acid-activated sepiolites, functionalized by covalent grafting of [ 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxy-silane were used as adsorbents for the removal of an anionic Reactive Orange 16 dye from aqueous ...
Implementation of integrated adsorption and biological process in wastewater treatment for permanent dye removal and its subsequent decontamination
(Desalination Publ, Hopkinton, 2019)
The use of the microwave-activated sugar beet pulp as an alternative adsorbent material in combination with biological processes has been applied for the colored wastewater treatment. The maximum adsorption capacity of the ...
