Efficiency of Arsenic Removal from Water Using Fe-Modified Biochar from Date-Palm-Leaves Combined with Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP) Monitoring

Siddiq O., (Corresponding) Tawabini B., Kirmizakis P., Kalderis D., Ntarlagiannis D., Soupios P.

Topic:

Water treatment

In this study, lab-scale column batch adsorption experiments were conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of Iron-modified Biochar (Fe-BC) produced from date-palm leaves at 500oC to remove arsenic (As) from contaminated water. The As removal capacity were monitored by both chemical analysis and...Read more

Removal Of Arsenic From Water Using Iron-Coated Pomelo Peel (ICPP)

Nguyen T., Tran H., Nguyen Q., (Corresponding) Nguyen T., Vigneswaran S., Nguyen T.

Topic:

Water treatment

This study investigated the removal of arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) in aqueous solution using iron-coated pomelo peel (ICPP). Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of initial pH values (2.0–10), contact time (1–1440 minutes), initial concentration (0.05–5 mg...Read more

Functionalized iron oxide nanocomposite ultrafiltration membranes for water-in-oil emulsion separation

Wadi V., Ouda M., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.

Topic:

Water treatment

Removal of emulsified water in oil (w/o) emulsions are the most challenging compared to free water and dissolved water emulsions. Emulsified w/o cannot be removed by conventional techniques such as settling tanks, oil skimmers, floatation and magnetic technologies. Membrane technology is a highly...Read more

Synthesis of Fe3O4/Carbon Quantum Dots Hybrid for Efficient Removal of Congo Red Dye from Aqueous Solution

(Corresponding) Zourou A., Axarli V., Falara P., Ntziouni A., Kordatos K.

Topic:

Water treatment

During the past decades, the release of toxic pollutants into aquatic environment has continuously increased due to rapid industrialization and civilization. The presence of organic dyes, such as Congo Red (CR), can be dangerous to both human and aquatic life. Therefore, their removal is an...Read more

Preliminary study on fluoride removal from contaminated groundwater by nanofiltration

(Corresponding) Fuoco I., Apollaro C., Criscuoli A., De Rosa R., Figoli A.

Topic:

Water treatment

In this work, a commercial nanofiltration (NF) membrane, named SPR 10113, was used for the first time to treat a real F-contaminated groundwater (F= 8.9 mg/L) coming from deep crystalline aquifer of Calabria Region (Southern Italy), in order to verify its efficiency in terms of fluorine rejection...Read more

Modelling the operation of a Water Treatment Plant based on Artificial Neural Networks

(Corresponding) GYPARAKIS S., TRICHAKIS I., VAROUCHAKIS E., DIAMADOPOULOS E.

Topic:

Water treatment

The main purpose of this study is to model the operation of a Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) using its main operational and water quality parameters in a fast, easy and reliable way. This study is based on a large number of data from recent years (2019-2021). The DWTP has a maximum capacity...Read more
