The sonochemically synthesized Ho-doped ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS techniques. The sonocatalytic degradation of Reactive Orange 29 (RO29) was greater than that with sonolysis alone. DE% declines with the addition of chloride, carbonate, sulfate, and tert-butan...detailed
Cross-linked chitosan/sepiolite composite was prepared from sepiolite clay and chitosan, and was cross-linked using epichlorohydrin. Among the various weight ratio percentage of chitosan and sepiolite clay composites, CS50SP50 was selected as the best adsorbent for both methylene blue (MB) and r...detailed
The adsorption potential of empty cotton flower agro-residue based activated carbon (CFAC) to adsorb Reactive Orange 84 (RO84) dye from aqueous solution was studied using packed-bed adsorption column. The breakthrough curve characteristics were highly influenced by process variables like influen...detailed
Nanofiber membrane chromatography integrates liquid membrane chromatography and nanofiber filtration into a single-step purification process. Nanofiber membrane can be functionalised with affinity ligands for promoting binding specificity of membrane. Dye molecules are a good affinity ligand for...detailed
In this work, Box–Behnken design (BBD) in response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the synthesis condition of crosslinked chitosan-tripolyphosphate/TiO2 nanocompsite (CCTPP/TiO2 NC) as well as the adsorption conditions of reactive orange dye (RO16) from aqueous solution. The k...detailed
The photocatalytic activity of granite waste (GW), an iron-rich material, was evaluated by the decolorization and degradation of Reactive Orange 122 (RO122) in the presence of H2O2 by solar photo-Fenton. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscop...detailed
