Performance of Sweet Potato’s Leaf-Derived Activated Carbon for Hydrogen Sulphide Removal from Biogas
(Hindawi, 2020-03-01)
In this study, sweet potato leaf activated carbon (SpLAC) was prepared by the chemical activation method using KOH and applied as an adsorbent for H2S removal from biogas. The study focused on the understanding of the ...
The influence of stereochemistry of the active compounds on fluoride adsorption efficiency of the plant biomass
(Science Publishing Group, 2014-08-20)
Several studies have reported various defluoridation capabilities of plant biomasses. The resultant variations in
fluoride removal capacities are associated with the presence of different types of active functional groups ...
Water hardness removal by coconut shell activated carbon
(Science Publishing Group, 2014-08-30)
The present study reports the water softening by adsorption of hardness ions onto Coconut Shell Activated
Carbons (CSAC). Characterization of CSAC was identified by FT-IR and SEM techniques. Batch experiments were ...
Influence of Macrophyte Types towards Agrochemical Phytoremediation in a Tropical Environment
(International Journal of Engineering Research and General Science, 2014-09)
The presence of agrochemicals waste water from agricultural fields poses major environmental and human health problems which may be solved by phytoremediation technologies. Phytoremediation is the use of plants to remediate ...
Potentials of agric wastes activated carbons for water softening
(Research Journal in Engineering and Applied Sciences, 2014)
Various studies have been conducted to address softening of hard water. Ion exchange, electro-based techniques,
membrane filtration and adsorption are the most reported techniques in softening hard water. In the present
work, ...
Plant biomasses for defluoridation appropriateness : unlocking their potentials
(Research Journal in Engineering and Applied Sciences, 2014)
Fluoride and fluorosis are endemic to many countries including Tanzania. Performances of different materials
for use in water defluoridation systems have been reported. Some of these materials are; alum, oxides and
hydroxide ...
Removal of Hydrogen Sulfide from Biogas Using a Red Rock
(Hindawi, 2020-01-27)
The potential of red rock (RR) materials for the removal of H2S from biogas was studied. The rock samples were collected, sieved, and organized in various particle size ranges such as 0.32-250 μm, 250-500 μm, 500-750 μm, ...
