Two bentonites (sodic bentonite, BSN, and calcic BCN) were treated with nitric acid to improve the adsorption capacities using ciprofloxacin (CIP) as an adsorbate. The results demonstrated that treatment enhances specific area increases pore volume of both bentonites. mechanism CIP was investigated a kinetic model, isotherms, pH influence. capacity for BSN increased from 294.1 <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="m1"><mml:mrow><mml:mi...
This study examined the adsorption capacity of natural zeolite (ZN) and treated with citric acid (ZCA) nitric (ZNA) to evaluate their effectiveness in removing pharmaceutical compound diclofenac (DCF) from water batch experiments. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) textural properties (BET) were used investigate changes resulting chemical modifications. The findings demonstrate a significant enhancement surface area, pore volume, presence acidic sites, an improved for DCF....
In this work, Ti-pillared bentonites were evaluated to remove ciprofloxacin (CIP) from the aqueous solution. Pillared sodium bentonite (BSP) and pillared calcium (BCP) prepared by means of sol–gel method using titanium tetraisopropoxide with calcination for 3 h at 500 °C. They characterized BET N2 adsorption, subjected X-ray diffraction Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that surface area increased after process, more than natural ones. has a porous structure, larger...
One of the byproducts sugarcane bagasse combustion in mills is ash (SCBA), which contains up to ~40 mass% organic matter. Currently, SCBA partially used as a soil fertilizer. However, SCBA’s poor content minerals, are required by soils, restricts its use resulting disposal large amounts landfills. Alternatively, has shown promise for some environmental applications such wastewater treatment, but gas cleaning deserves further study. The objective this work was assess as-received remove...
Hydrogen produced from biomass is an alternative energy source to fossil fuels. In this study, hydrogen production by gasification of the banana plant proposed. A fixed-bed catalytic reactor was designed considering fluidization conditions and a height/diameter ratio 3/1. Experimentation carried out under following conditions: 368 °C, atmospheric pressure, 11.75 g residual mass (pseudo-stem), average particle diameter 1.84 mm, superheated water vapor as gasifying agent. Gasification...
Given the problem of climate change caused by fossil fuels, there is a need to seek efficient alternative energies that have lower impact on environment and are obtained from renewable resources. Biomass gasification technology attracting constant interest in sustainable energy research as an traditional combustion technology. Its numerous advantages include availability raw materials, reduction harmful emission streams, performance, costs. In gasification, thermochemical conversion material...
In the face of climate change problem caused by fossil fuels, it is essential to seek efficient alternative energies with a lower environmental impact that are derived from renewable resources. Biomass gasification technology continues generate significant interest in sustainable energy research as an traditional combustion technology. Gasification involves thermochemical conversion raw materials, resulting highly valuable gaseous product known synthesis gas, commonly used fuel. Its numerous...
