Highly porous carbon textiles were modified by impregnation with urea, thiourea, dicyandiamide, or penicillin G, followed heat treatment at 800 °C. This resulted in an incorporation of nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms various configurations to the surface. The volume pores and, especially, ultramicropores was also affected extents. then used as adsorbents formaldehyde (1 ppmv) dynamic conditions. modifications applied significantly improved adsorptive performance. For majority samples,...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants of growing environmental human health concern, widely detected across various compartments. Effective remediation strategies essential to mitigate their widespread impacts. This study compared the performance two types commercially available sorbent materials, granular activated carbon (GAC, Filtrasorb-400) organoclays (OC-200, modified Fluoro-sorb-100 Fluoro-sorb-200) for removal three representative PFAS...
Electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an important energy-related process requiring alternative catalysts to expensive platinum-based ones. Although recently some advancements in carbon have been reported, there still a lack of understanding which surface features might enhance their efficiency for ORR. Through detailed study adsorption on molecular sieves and using inelastic neutron scattering, we demonstrated here that the extent adsorption/interactions with parameter...
Mesoporous silicas synthesized by the co-condensation of two and three different silica monomers were varying time intervals between addition individual monomers, while total interval was kept constant. This resulted in structural properties final silicas, particularly their porosity local ordering. One obtained samples exhibited an unusual isotherm with hysteresis loops its pore volume as high 2.2 cm3/g. In addition, to be thoroughly characterized a wide range instrumental techniques,...
Materials synthesized from biosolids by simple pyrolysis at 950 °C showed excellent performance as ORR catalysts. It was linked to their intrinsic features (N, P, Fe) and the developed micro/meso pores lined with layer of graphitized carbon.
Water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) performing biological nitrogen removal (BNR) often require external carbon sources for meeting discharge permit limits. This brings additional financial burden to the considering continuous need of these sources. paper evaluates utilization airport stormwater, which in winter season is rich aircraft deicing fluid (ADF) as an alternative source. Denitrification and nitrification bench scale experiments were performed after addition Experimental...
A class of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts was derived from surfactant-modified biosolid by a simple pyrolysis mixtures at 950 °C. Two nonionic surfactants long and short chains (F127 P123) were added to biosolids in various amounts modify surface features. These features (porosity, texture, chemistry) extensively characterized methods, then an ORR efficiency alkaline electrolyte evaluated. The modification increased areas pore volumes about 30% compared the material obtained...
