Effect of oxygen functional groups on mercury retention in activated carbons
(Corresponding) Sotiropoulou R., Serafidou M., (Corresponding) Skodras G.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Two commercial activated carbons (F400 and RWE) were tested for their Hg° retention capacity, in order to elucidate shortcomings that still exist, with respect to the oxygen functional groups. The number and the nature of oxygen containing functional groups were altered by heating under H2 at 1100°...Read more

Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
A research conducted in order to investigate the environmental impact of an e-waste recycling plant to the soil and water resources of the surrounding area. Therefore trace elements in both water and soil samples were determined with Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Heavy...Read more
