Rinsed and thermally treated red mud sorbents for aqueous Ni2+ ions
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
Red mud, an abundant industrial waste from alumina industry, represents a rich source of various metal oxides, mainly of Fe2O3 Al2O3 and SiO2. In this study, the rinsed Bosnian red mud (RBRM) was evaluated as an economical, ...
Photodegradation of an azo pyridone dye using TiO2 films prepared by the spray pyrolysis method
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
In this study, the feasibility of preparing porous TiO2 films on a stainless steel substrate from a hydrothermally prepared colloidal TiO2 solution by the spray pyrolysis technique is presented. The prepared samples were ...
Hydrodynamics of shallow fluidized bed of coarse particles
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2005)
The aim of the present study is experimental investigation of hydrodynamics of shallow fluidized bed of coarse particles. Air was fluidizing fluid. gamma-Al2O3 particles of 1 mm and 1.8 mm in diameter and density of 1080 ...
Study of factors affecting Ni2+ immobilization efficiency by temperature activated red mud
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2011)
The waste red mud, remaining in remarkable quantities after the digestion of bauxite ores following the Bayer process, contains number of voluble minerals with excellent sorption properties towards aqueous heavy metals. ...
Aqueous Pb sorption by synthetic and natural apatite: Kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
Natural apatites represent a cost effective soil amendment, which can be used for in situ reduction of lead bioavailability and mobility. In our previous work, we selected Lisina apatite (LA) as a promising natural mineral ...
Removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions by oxidized and ethylenediamine-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
Surface functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by ethylenediamine, via chemical modification of carboxyl groups, using O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate, was ...
Optimal conceptual design of processes with heterogeneous catalytic reactors
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
This paper presents an optimisation-based method for the screening and conceptual design of processes with heterogeneous catalytic reactors. The method follows a multi-level approach to process synthesis to establish ...
Hydrogel based on chitosan, itaconic acid and methacrylic acid as adsorbent of Cd2+ ions from aqueous solution
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
A hydrogel has been synthesized by ionic crosslinking of chitosan (Ch) with itaconic acid (IA), followed by a free radical polymerization and crosslinking of Ch/IA network by adding methacrylic acid and the crosslinker. ...
Decolorization of textile dye CI Basic Yellow 28 with electrochemically generated active chlorine
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
Reaction of the indirect electrochemical decolorization of cationic textile dye CI Basic Yellow 28 with electrochemically generated "active chlorine" has been studied, using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, ion chromatography, ...
Synthesis and characterization of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/itaconic acid/poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate) hydrogels
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
Hydrogels based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), different poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylates (PEGDMA) and itaconic acid (IA) were prepared by free radical crosslinking copolymerization. The influence of different ...
