The main aim of the present work was to approach the effect of the addition of an organic acid dopant, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA), in the preparation of poly(4,4-diphenylether-5,5-dibenzimidazole) (OPBI) films, commonly used as proton exchange membranes (PEMs). For this purpose, DBSA was blended with OPBI polymer matrix, at different concen...

Crude phosphoric acid is a vital component used in making phosphate fertilizers. Depending on the processes used in producing the crude phosphoric acid, it usually contains organic and inorganic contaminants. To make environmentally friendly phosphate fertilizers, these contaminants must be removed from the crude phosphoric acid stock used in makin...

The industry devoted to the production of phosphoric acid by using as raw material sedimentary phosphate rock (PR) is considered as a NORM activity (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials), due to the high levels of U-series radionuclides contained in this ore, which are 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than those in unperturbed soils. This fact a...

AbstractThe main target of this work was to investigate the influence of the hardeners on the properties of the prepared supercapacitors named geopolymer cements. The supercapacitors were obtained by mixing an aluminosilicate source (metakaolin) and hardeners (sodium waterglass or phosphoric acid solution). The obtained supercapacitors were charact...

Adsorptive removal of methylene blue dye (MB) from aqueous medium using orange peels treated with phosphoric acid (OP-H3PO4) was examined. The OP-H3PO4 was characterized using Fourier transform Infra-red spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The effect of...
Four new 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives, namely 5-((1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)quinolin-8-ol (BIMQ), 5-((5-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)quinolin-8-ol (MBMQ), 5-((5-chloro-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)quinolin-8-ol (CBMQ) and 5-((5,6-dichloro-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)quinolin-8-ol (DCBMQ) were prepared in moderate to good yields through the...

This study focuses on preparation of new adsorbent for copper by radiation induced grafting (RIG) of 2,3-epoxypropyl methacrylate (EMPA) onto PP/PE non-woven fabric (NWF) with subsequent functionalization with phosphoric acid (PA). The density of phosphoric acid incorporated onto EMPA-g-NWF was tuned by reaction parameters optimization such as PA c...

Biochar is an adsorbent widely used to remove contaminants from polluted water. A series of biochar from corn straw, corncob and corn starch was prepared through one-step pyrolysis. The biochar was characterized, and the capacity for triazine pesticide (TRZ) removal from water was compared. P doped biochar from corn straw (CSWP) was able to remove ...
