Abstract Co-contamination by organic solvents (e.g., toluene and tetrahydrofuran) metal ions Cu 2+ ) is common in industrial wastewater sites. This manuscript describes the separation of THF from water absence copper ions, as well treatment co-polluted with either copper, or copper. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) are freely miscible lauric acid. Lauric acid separates two solvents, demonstrated proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR) Attenuated Total Reflection-Fourier Transform Infrared...

Abstract Injectable filters permeable to water but impermeable non-polar solvents were developed contain non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL) in contaminated aquifers, hence protecting downstream receptors during NAPL remediation. Filters produced by injecting aqueous solutions of 0.01% chitosan, hydroxyethylcellulose and quaternized into sand columns, followed rinsing with water. Polymer sorption onto silica was verified using a quartz-crystal microbalance dissipation monitoring. Fluorescence...
Zein-based materials were used to remove Trypan blue from water under flow conditions and in batch tests. In tests, zein dissolved at pH = 13 was injected sand columns subsequently coagulated with CaCl2, create an adsorbent filter which removed over 99% of blue. Batch tests conducted using powder, Fe2Cl3 or citric acid, ethanol then water. The highest removal achieved powder (4000 mg blue/kg sorbent, as determined through spectrophotometry), followed by (500 sorbent) other salts (140...
