Article
Water and wastewater are contaminated with various types of trace elements that are released from industrial activities. Their presence, at concentrations above the permissible limit, will cause severe negative impacts on human health and the environment. Due to their costeffectiveness, simple design, high efficiency, and selectivity, adsorption, a...
Article
This study aims to prepare an ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) using copper sulfate as a template and potassium persulfate as an initiator to selectively adsorb copper ions (Cu2+) from aqueous solutions and in an attempt to also test its applicability for removing strontium ions (Sr2+). The prepared polymer was denoted by IIP-Cu. Various physical and ch...

The current study deals with the synthesis of nano-gamma-alumina (nano-γ-Al2O3) from waste aluminum foil and its application for the removal of boron and bromide from an aqueous solution. The physical characteristic of nano-γ-Al2O3 was analyzed using various analytical techniques, namely thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), scanning electron microscop...
Article
In this study, three types of adsorbents were used to remove and recover strontium ions (Sr²⁺) from aqueous and brine solution of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO), namely roasted date pits (RDP) and RDP modified using copper and nickel salts of potassium hexacyanoferrates to obtain RDP–FC–Cu, and RDP–FC–Ni, respectively. Additionally, the influence...

The occurrence of boron in low concentration is essential; however, a higher concentration of boron source in water has a toxic effect on humans as well as have retard effect on agricultural plant growth. Thus, the affordable and facile method to remediate water from higher boron concentrations is highly demanded. This report explores the ability o...

This study characterized and assessed three different process water (PWWs) (S-1, S-2, and S-3) from oil and gas production in Qatar. The wastewater generated in various processing stages contains many harmful components including polyaromatic hydrocarbons, phenol, heavy metals, ammonia, and other hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbons. The results revea...

Before investing in any optimizing technology for the recovery and reuse of brine resources, it is of importance to study the full physicochemical characteristics of the brine. In the current study, the physicochemical characteristics of Qatari seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) brine were fully investigated. The current study intends to lead to a bet...
Article
Brine released from desalination plants is extremely high in salinity and contains various chemicals, which are harmful to the ecosystem. The disposal of brine has raised great concerns for the desalination industry around the world due to its detrimental impact on fauna and flora. This review complies with various zero liquid discharge technologie...

In this study, municipal solid waste bottom ash (MSW-BA) and fly ash (MSW-FA) were used as a source of aluminosilicate to prepare geopolymer (GEO) adsorbents (GEO-MSWBA and GEO-MSWFA) for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from water. The effects of temperature, pH, and initial concentration on the MB adsorption onto GEO-MSWBA and GEO-MSWFA were ev...
Article
This paper investigated the development and evaluation of an extraction process for copper, chromium, cobalt, iron, manganese, zinc, lead, cadmium, barium, magnesium, and vanadium from municipal solid waste incineration ash (bottom and fly ashes) based on microwave-assisted acid extraction method. In this study, a novel conventional microwave-media...

Waste destruction through incineration has widely become an acceptable and popular choice globally. Despite being regarded as a sustainable option, if not operated and managed properly, it can be one of the least environmentally preferred options. It is agreed that the waste from municipal solid waste (MSW) can be considered a renewable energy reso...
Conference Paper
This study investigates and compares microwave-heating radiation with conventional heating. Incinerated municipal solid waste (IMSW) bottom ash (BA) and fly ash (FA) was utilized to recover various metals including Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn,Pb, Al, Cd, Ba, Mg and V using various acid leaching agents i.e. HCl, HNO3 and H3PO4 were utilized and several p...

Incineration has emerged as one of the acceptable ways to treat municipal solid waste (MSW) due to its potential in reducing the mass and volume of the waste. However, it produces two major by-product residues, namely MSW-bottom ash (MSW-BA) and MSW-fly ash (MSW-FA). These residues have gained great attention to their hazardous nature and potential...

This study investigates the metal extraction and metal binding mechanisms from bottom ash (BA-MSW) and the fly ash (FA-MSW) by sequential extraction using various solvents. The extracts obtained with each of these solvents were collected and analyzed to evaluate the metal binding mechanisms.
Article
This study investigated the use of eggshell membrane (ESM) as a bio-sorbent and the effect of temperature, pH, and initial concentration on its efficiency. Furthermore, by altering the chemical composition, modified eggshell membrane (MESM) was prepared, and its efficiency was compared with the ESM. Results showed that the adsorption of boron prefe...

Question
Hello,
I am trying to find the thermodynamics of my experiment. I have used the isotherm models to understand the adsorption behaviour. However I want to find deltaG, deltaH and delta S. I am using Van't Hoff equation but I don't know how to get Kc. I have different qe and ce  due to variation in my initial concentration. thus my Kc would be multiple. How do i get Kc
Furthermore, once Kc obtained for one of the temperature do I plot all Kc vs 1/T on one graph?
