- Abstract:
- ... The removal efficiency and mechanism of Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solution on semi-decomposed maize straw biochars pyrolyzed at 300 to 600 °C were investigated. The removal of Cr(VI) by the biochars decreased with pyrolysis temperature increasing from 300 to 600 °C, and the maximum removal capacity of Cr(VI) for maize straw biochar pyrolyzed at 300 °C was 91 mg/g at pH 2.0. The perce ...

- Abstract:
- ... Granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption, as well as ozonation in combination with biodegradation was investigated in order to remove refractory organics from biologically pre-treated process waters (PW) produced by the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spent grains and fine mulch. Kinetic tests revealed that the organics in spent grains PW had much lower molecular weights than organics in fin ...

- Abstract:
- ... Intensive use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in daily products ineluctably results in their release into aquatic systems and consequently into drinking water resources. Therefore, understanding NPs behavior in various waters from naturel to mineral waters is crucial for risk assessment evaluation and the efficient removal of NPs during the drinking water treatment process. In this study, the im ...

- Abstract:
- ... The basic process to reduce the phosphate ions in aquatic environments is to move the phosphorus circulation processes on the water–sediment phase boundary towards depositing it in the solid phase through chemical precipitation or adsorption. Modern technologies for removal of phosphorus can be based on cheap and environmentally friendly natural polysaccharides modified with multivalent metals. In ...

- Abstract:
- ... Excessive intake of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) can cause serious health problems. Hence, it is necessary to develop some simple yet sensitive method to monitor DBP level in foods. In this study, a competitive multicolor immunosensor for DBP detection has been proposed based on the etching of gold nanorods (GNRs) using naked eyes as readout. DBP was immobilized on the surface of the wells by physical ...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the capability of magnetic graphene oxide/silicon dioxide nanocomposites as a novel adsorbent for the separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of Pd(ii) in the presence of Rh(iii) ions prior to FAAS determination. The results indicated that Pd(ii) and Rh(iii) ions were quantitatively adsorbed on the adsorbent at pH values of 7–8. Under empirical ...

A new kind of environmentally friendly filter paper based on ultralong hydroxyapatite nanowires (HAPNWs) and cellulose fibers (CFs) with excellent filtration and adsorption properties has been developed for the application in high-performance water purification. The use of polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) resin increases the wet mechanical strength of the as-prepared HAPNW/CF filter paper. The ...

- Abstract:

The humidity sensor displays fast-response (1.9 s) and recovery time (1.5 s), a broad relative humidity (RH) detection range (4–95%), linearity, repeatability, and stability. The rapid response and recovery are considered to benefit fro ...

The transduction involves the measurement of the direct optical reflection intensity, changing upon refractive index variations induced by water and ethanol adsorption within the coatings. The first thin-film coating ...

- Abstract:
- ... We performed molecular simulations to investigate the adsorption and diffusion of benzene in metal–organic framework Mg-MOF-74. At 300 K and 20 Pa, the saturated loading of benzene reaches 8.2 mmol/g, almost twice of (12,12) single-walled carbon nanotube with a similar pore size, and 93% of the benzene molecules in Mg-MOF-74 can desorb at 390 K. The energy analysis indicates that the van der Waals ...

- Abstract:
- ... Gold nanorods (GNRs) and doxorubicin (DOX) were loaded into the lumen of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) via a rapid synthesis process (2 min) and physical adsorption. The targeting molecules of folic acid (FA) are then conjugated to HNTs via reactions with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The formation of GNRs in HNTs was verified by different techniques. Au-HNT-DOX@BSA-FA shows a maximum temperature of 2 ...

- Abstract:
- ... Chabazite (CHA)-type zeolites are promising for the separation of CO₂ from larger molecules, such as N₂ (relevant to postcombustion carbon capture) and CH₄ (relevant to natural gas/biogas upgrading). In particular, the pore size of CHA zeolites (0.37 × 0.42 nm²) can recognize slight molecular size differences between CO₂ (0.33 nm) and the larger N₂ (0.364 nm) or CH₄ (0.38 nm) molecules, thus allow ...
