Sugar beet pulp generated by sugar-refining factories has been shown to be an effective adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The structural components related metallic adsorption being determined, batch studies were performed several metal ions, namely, Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+ cations. Two simple kinetic models, that is, pseudo-first- pseudo-second-order, tested investigate mechanisms. parameters models calculated discussed. For 8 x 10(-4) M initial...
Concerns over climate change have driven the decarbonization of building sector, largest energy consumer in France. This consumption is primarily dedicated to heating and cooling. Thermal insulation construction plays an important role minimization operational consumption. Currently, performed via mineral fossil-derived materials, which require high manufacturing energy. For this reason, attention has been paid finding clean energy-efficient alternatives. Subsequently, biomass-based...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as toluene, dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and disulfide (DMDS), are poorly soluble in water classical air treatment processes like chemical scrubbers not efficient. An alternative technique involving an absorption step solvent followed by a biodegradation phase was proposed. The must fulfil several characteristics, which key factors of process efficiency, previous study allowed polydimethylsiloxane (or PDMS, i.e. silicone oil)...
Biofuels are clean and renewable energy resources gaining increased attention as a potential replacement for non-renewable petroleum-based fuels. They derived from biomass that could either be animal-based or belong to any of the three generations plant (agricultural crops, lignocellulosic materials, algae). Over 130 studies including experimental research, case studies, literature reviews, website publications related bioethanol production were evaluated; different methods techniques have...
The ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to adsorb selectively La3+, Eu3+, and Yb3+ from aqueous solution was investigated. lanthanide biosorption equilibrium obeyed the Brunauer−Emmett−Teller isotherm model, indicating multilayer adsorption. Determined levels maximum adsorption capacities were 397 μmol/g for lanthanum, 290 europium 326 ytterbium (±10%). results indicated that there about 100 preferential sites lanthanum per g dry biomass. Experiments with mixed-cation solutions showed sequence...
Abstract Chitosan, the deacetylated derivative of chitin, is a natural D-glucosamine polymer that can be extracted from shells seafood such as prawns crabs and lobsters. It used flocculent, plant disease resistant promoter, anti-cancer agent, wound healing promotion agent antimicrobial agent. The aim this paper study interaction between chitosan powder various kinds pathogen microorganisms potentially present in water. First all, physico-chemical characterisations chitin were performed....
Electric arc furnace steel slag (EAF-slag) and basic oxygen (BOF-slag) were used as filter substrates in two horizontal subsurface flow filters (6 m3 each) designed to remove phosphorus (P) from the effluent of a constructed wetland. The influences composition, void hydraulic retention time (HRTv), temperature, wastewater quality on treatment performances studied. Over period almost years operation, filled with EAF-slag removed 37% inlet total P, whereas BOF-slag 62% P. P removal occurred...
This study evaluates three pathways: supercritical water treatment (SCW), CO2-water (scCO2-H2O), and catalytic hydrothermal hydrolysis (CHH) to produce second-generation bioethanol using palm tree fronds (PTF) as feedstock. The analysis focuses on technical performances process simulation with Aspen Plus™, environmental evaluation by applying a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework an economic the levelized cost. results of reveal CHH best pathway for production, highest ethanol yield at 273...
