A gas adsorption analyzer, a field emission scanning electron microscope, a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and a texture analyzer are the devices for the adsorbent’s characterization. Adding montmorillonite to the pectin film produced the composite film, which has more strength. Batch tests were carried out to study the effects of contact time, the initial pH solution, the initial metal concentration, and temperature on adsorption. Under an optimal condition, a contact time of 150 min with an initial pH solution of 5.0, an initial metal concentration of 100 mg/L, and a temperature of 313 K results in the optimum amount of lead taken up at 110.03 mg/g. The experimental data follows the Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order equations. 0.1 M HCl used as the eluent can remove about 90.54% of the lead ions from the used adsorbent. The outcomes show that the composite film can remove lead ions from contaminated water and allow reuse.","PeriodicalId":21680,"journal":{"name":"Separation Science and Technology","volume":"14 1","pages":"2254 - 2269"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81482654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spent HAP after algae cultivation was treated using MD where the operational efficacy and distillate quality were assessed. Comparing the MD performance of the buffered HAP to the unbuffered HAP revealed the addition of the buffer decreased water flux and distillate quality, but cultivation with A. maxima reversed these effects and produced distillates with reduced COD, TN, and NH3 concentrations. C. reinhardtii cultivation resulted in increased distillate COD and NH3 concentrations compared to the unbuffered HAP.

Due to the lack of chromophoric moiety in the eflornithine structure, its detection via UV detector is difficult. Thus, direct high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation of enantiomers of Eflornithine is not feasible, and pre-column derivatization is required for its determination through chiral HPLC columns. We developed an indirect HPLC method using (S)-α-ethyl benzylamine as a chiral derivatizing agent for the enantioseparation of Eflornithine. The diastereomers thus produced were then separated via LiChrospher C18 column (5 μm particle size, L × I. D. 25 cm × 4.6 mm). The mobile phase used was a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.1% aq. TFA and varied in linear gradients of 30–70% of acetonitrile for 30 min run at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1 and UV detection at 320 nm. The separation parameters were optimized by altering the mobile phase composition and flow rate. The findings revealed that the chromatographic separation was accomplished within 15 min, with resolution values greater than 4.5 for Eflornithine enantiomers. The detection and quantitation limits were 9.26 ng mL− 1 and 18.52 ng mL− 1 for Eflornithine enantiomers.","PeriodicalId":21680,"journal":{"name":"Separation Science and Technology","volume":"74 1","pages":"2138 - 2144"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79230117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extracted oil emulsions treatment with demulsifier is demanded for markets. Herein, we prepared a naturally based demulsifier comprising calcium phosphates from coralline materials. The XRD verifies successful formation of the intended calcium phosphate with characteristic peaks where the most intense peak at 30º for (211) plane matched well with card and former research. The SEM reveals the formation of the spherical, flowery shape. Zeta potential reaches −10 mV indicating reasonable stability of the demulsifier. For examining the separation efficiency using the bottle test, few drops of the demulsifer (~100 ppm) are enough for the separation at 55°C for 40 min in the water bath. Inherently, the separation initiates within few seconds. The extended results for the demulsifier are applied onto the ASH field (Borg Alarab, Egypt) and compared to other companies reports. The optimum separation efficiency for salt and water contents from crude oil reaches 9 PTB and 0.1%vol, respectively, after treatment by heating unit (Sigma package). The recommended values for these factors are 30 PTB and 2%vol. The efficiency of separation exceeds 99% for water and salt.

The structural aspects, surface morphology, elemental composition and thermal constancy of the aforementioned composite cation exchangers were scrutinized through UV-Visible, FT-IR, XRD, SEM with EDAX, TEM and TGA studies. As-prepared conducting polymeric composite materials divulged not only excellent ion exchange capacity but also better thermal stability, electrical conductivity and notable selectivity toward Pb(II) ions as compared to their individual inorganic moieties. The improvement in ion exchange capacities (IEC) for distinct alkali metal ions of PYZP composite cation exchanger were Li+, 2.89; Na+, 3.15; K+, 3.34 meq/g and PYZI composite cation exchanger were Li+, 2.60; Na+, 2.86; K+, 3.21 meq/g, separately. It was concluded that PYZP composite acts as an excellent cation exchanger compared to PYZI composite due to the presence of ionogenic phosphate anions. The partition competency of the composite materials toward distinct metal ions in diverse solvent systems exposed the separation potentials of metal ions of systematic prominence from a specified binary combinations encompassing Cd(II) – Pb(II), Hg(II) – Pb(II), Cu(II) – Pb(II), Zn(II) – Pb(II), Ni(II) – Pb(II) and Fe(III) – Pb(II) metal ions.

In many arid and semi-arid regions, water reuse provides the majority of irrigation water, which is why appropriate treatment techniques are needed. These include planted filters, with restricted reuse of agricultural treated water. The main innovation is therefore to develop a new technique with reduced operating costs and increased efficiency for wastewater treatment that can be used in different sectors (household, industrial, washing centers…). The current work aimed to assess the performance of coupling planted Filters with anodic oxidation on platinum to remove contaminants and pathogens from urban wastewater effluents. To evaluate the efficiency of this hybrid process, urban sewage was first treated by filters planted with reeds, then by anodic oxidation on platinum using photovoltaic panels. Results showed that this treatment system allows a complete elimination of organic matter, ammonium nitrogen, and pathogenic bacteria. Removal rates were ~ 100% for COD, ~100% for BOD, ~100% for NH4 +, 93.24% for NO3 −, and ~100% for TC, FC, and FS.
