Validation of two contrasting capturing mechanisms for gaseous formaldehyde between two different types of strong metal-...
Published in Journal of hazardous materials
In this research, the adsorption behavior of formaldehyde (FA) onto two types of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs: MOF-199 [M199] and UiO-66-NH2 [U6N]) is investigated against changes in the key process variables (e.g., FA partial pressure (0.5-10 Pa), temperature (30-120 °C), and relative humidity (RH: 0%, 50%, and 100%)). The results revealed that ...
Towards a better understanding of odor removal from post-consumer plastic film waste: A kinetic study on deodorization e...
...Published in Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Mechanical recycling is to date the most commonly applied recycling technology. However, mechanical recycling of post-consumer plastics still faces many challenges, such as the presence of odorous constituents. Accordingly, recycling industry is looking for cost-effective solutions to improve the current washing efficiencies. However, scientific li...
Adsorption of Acid Red dye from aqueous solution using quaternized chitosan microspheres
In this study, quaternized chitosan microspheres (QCMS) were prepared and their adsorption performance of Acid Red 18 from aqueous solution was studied. Equilibrium was attained within 120 minutes and maximum removal of 94.06% was achieved. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models have been investigated. The maximum capacity obtained from the Langmu...
COD and colour removal from molasses spent wash using activated carbon produced from bagasse fly ash of Matahara sugar f...
The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and colour from a melanoidin solution using activated carbon produced from bagasse fly ash (BFA). Melanoidins are heterogeneous polymers and major contributors to the dark brown colour of molasses spent wash, which is an extensive cause of environment pollution. Th...
A three-compartment model for micropollutants sorption in sludge: Methodological approach and insights
In sludge resulting from wastewater treatment, organic micropollutants sorb to particles and to dissolved/colloidal matter (DCM) Both interactions may influence their physical and biological fate throughout the wastewater treatment processes To our knowledge, sludge has never been considered as a three-compartment matrix, in which micropollutants; ...
Polar interactions in flavan-3-ol adsorption on solid surfaces
The adsorption of flavan-3-ol monomers and grape seed procyanidin fractions of different mean degrees of polymerization was studied on three surfaces by means of adsorption isotherms. Reversibility upon dilution was also investigated. These surfaces were three polymeric microfiltration membranes, presenting close Lifshitz-van der Waals components o...
