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 ...
Chromium (VI) removal from aqueous solutions using mercaptosilane functionalized sepiolites
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2011)
Natural and acid-activated sepiolite samples were functionalized with (3-Mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane. By X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential thermal analysis it was shown ...
ZnO/Ag hybrid nanocubes in alginate biopolymer: Synthesis and properties
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2014)
A procedure for the preparation of ZnO nanocubes in an alginate biopolymer was introduced. The obtained nanocubes were used for the preparation of ZnO/Ag heterostructures. High resolution scanning electron microscopy showed ...
SBA-15 templated mesoporous carbons for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid removal
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2013)
The ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 was synthesized and used as a template for obtaining mesoporous carbon replicas. Adsorptive removal of pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from aqueous solutions onto two ...
Carbon materials from waste short hemp fibers as a sorbent for heavy metal ions - Mathematical modeling of sorbent structure and ions transport
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2014)
Carbonized hemp fibers obtained by carbonization of origin and chemically modified waste hemp fibers was used as a low-cost sorbent for heavy metals removal. The efficiency of carbonized hemp fiber samples as a sorbent was ...
Application of carbonized hemp fibers as a new solid-phase extraction sorbent for analysis of pesticides in water samples
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
There is a growing interest in utilization of abundantly available materials, bio-mass or industrial byproducts, as precursors for the preparation of carbon materials. Short hemp fibers, acquired as waste from textile ...
Novel eco-friendly initiation system based on vitamin C for energy efficient synthesis of PMAA hydrogel used for delivery of phenolic compounds
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
This study reports successful free radical synthesis of pH-sensitive hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) by using new green initiation system based on vitamin C and hydrogen peroxide (VC/H2O2). The application ...
Analysis and experimental demonstration of forced periodic operation of an adiabatic stirred tank reactor: Simultaneous modulation of inlet concentration and total flow-rate
(Chemical Engineering Journal, 2021)
It is well known, that forced periodic operation possesses the potential for process improvements. Nevertheless, only a small number of applications is reported, due to complex realization, limited predictability and high ...
Adsorption of arsenate on iron(III) oxide coated ethylenediamine functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
New criteria in assessing the quality of drinking water reduced the maximum permissible concentration of arsenic from 50 mu g L-1 to 10 mu g L-1 and set a requirement for the development of new technologies for arsenic ...
