The need to design low-cost adsorbents for the detoxification of industrial
effluents has been a growing concern for most environmental researchers. So
modelling of experimental data from adsorption processes is a very important
means of predicting the mechanisms of various adsorption systems. Therefore,
this paper presents an overall review of the applications of adsorption
isotherms, the use of ... hiện toàn bộ
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a nanostructure that can
have a length‐to‐diameter ratio greater than 1,000,000. Techniques have been
developed to produce nanotubes in sizeable quantities, including arc discharge,
laser ablation, and chemical vapor deposition. Developments in the past few
years have illustrated the potentially revolutionizing impact of nanomaterials,

The aim of this work is to assess the groundwater quality in Pengyang County
based on an improved water quality index. An information entropy method was
introduced to assign weight to each parameter. For calculating WQI and assess
the groundwater quality, total 74 groundwater samples were collected and all
these samples subjected to comprehensive physicochemical analysis. Each of the
groundwater s... hiện toàn bộ

The present study deals with the characterization of the polymeric materials
viz., nylon‐66 and 30% glass fibre reinforced nylon‐66 (GF Nylon‐66) by
employing FTIR and thermal measurements. The complete vibrational band
assignment made available for nylon‐66 and GF nylon‐66 using FTIR spectra
confirm their chemical structure. FTIR spectroscopy provides detailed
information on polymer structure thr... hiện toàn bộ
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from anthropogenic sources pose direct
and indirect hazards to both atmospheric environment and human health due to
their contribution to the formation of photochemical smog and potential toxicity
including carcinogenicity. Therefore, to abate VOCs emission, the catalytic
oxidation process has been extensively studied in laboratories and widely
applied in ... hiện toàn bộ
This study focuses on water resources management and shows the need to enforce
the existing international bilateral agreements and to implement the Water
Framework Directive of the European Union in order to improve the water quantity
and quality received by a downstream country of a common watershed, like
Timiş-Bega hydrographical basin, shared by two countries (Romania and Serbia).

Groundwater quality assessment is an essential study which plays an important
role in the rational development and utilization of groundwater in any part of
the world. In the study, groundwater qualities in Jingyuan County, in Ningxia,
China were assessed with entropy weighted water quality index method. In the
assessment, 12 hydrochemical parameters including chloride, sulphate, sodium,
iron, pH,... hiện toàn bộ
Carbonization of carbon obtained from plantain (Musa paradisiaca) stem was
achieved at a temperature of 400°C for one hour. The carbonized carbon was
divided into two parts to be activated separately. The activated carbon CPPAC
(carbonized plantain phosphoric acid activated carbon) and CPZAC (carbonized
plantain zinc chloride activated carbon) were produced via the chemical
activation process usin... hiện toàn bộ
Groundwater quality assessment is an essential study which plays important roles
in the rational development and utilization of groundwater. Groundwater quality
greatly influences the health of local people. However, most traditional water
quality comprehensive assessment methods which have complicated formulas are
difficult to apply in water quality assessment. In this paper, a novel method
for g... hiện toàn bộ

A simple spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of
phosphate in sugar cane juice, water and detergent samples. The method is based
on the formation of phosphomolybdate with added molybdate followed by its
reduction with sodium sulphide in aqueous sulfuric acid medium. The system obeys
Lambert‐Beer’s law at 715 nm in the concentration range 0.3‐12.24 ppm. Molar
absorptivity, c... hiện toàn bộ
