Adsorption is one of the most important processes in water quality control; it may determine the fate and transport of pollutants in the aquatic environment. Heavy metals today have a great significance due to their toxicity ...

The activated carbon was prepared from carbonaceous agricultural waste Apricot Stones by chemical activation using concentrated H2SO4 at 130±5 -C. The prepared activated carbon was characterized and was found as an effective ...

Batch operation studies were carried out for the removal of hazardous and toxic chemical compounds 4-Nitrophenol and 2,4-Dinitrophenol from aqueous solutions. For both adsorhACes, predictive capability of three types of ...

In the past few years, the research on the endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been increased with great interest in the area of environmental science and technology owing to the reason that these chemicals (EDCs) ...

In the present work, hexavalent chromium and COD removal from electroplating wastewater was investigated using a low cost activated carbon, which was carbonized and activated from corncobs. Corncob based activated carbon ...

Fluoride (F−) contamination in groundwater has been recognized as one of the serious problems worldwide . Fluoride is classified as one of the contaminants of water for human consumption by the World Health Organization ...

In the present work, hexavalent chromium removal from tannery wastewater was investigated using a low cost activated carbon, carbonized and prepared from corncobs. Corncob based activated carbon (CAC) was characterized to ...

This compilation is the result of removal of lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solutions by using adsorption process. The adsorbent used for this purpose is activated carbon prepared from P. hysterophorus which is a ...

The consequence of the rapid industrialization in developing countries since 20th century has emerged as a major threat to water pollution. Para-xylene is one of the most widely used chemical in chemical processes. It ...

A noxious weed and an agricultural waste material Parthenium hysterophorous serves as a source for the preparation of activated carbon (PAC) for our study. The impregnation ratio used for the chemical activation process ...
