    Abstract Nipa palm is one of the non-wood plants rich in lignocellulosic content. In this study, palm fronds were converted into activated carbon, and their physical, chemical, and morphological properties were characterized. The resulting activated carbon was then applied as an adsorbent of Fe metal in peat water. The carbonization process was carried out for 60 min, followed by sintering at 400°C for 5 h with a particle size of 200 mesh. KOH and H3PO4 were used in the chemical activation process for 24 h. KOH-activated carbon contained 6.13% of moisture, 4.55% of ash, 17.02% of volatile matter, and 78.84% of… More > Graphic Abstract

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.12, pp. 4161-4174, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.028877

    Abstract The large accumulation of coal gangue, a common industrial solid waste, causes severe environmental problems, and green development strategies are required to transform this waste into high-value-added products. In this study, low-cost ceramsites adsorbents were prepared from waste gangue, silt coal, and peanut shells and applied to remove the organic dye methylene blue from wastewater. We investigated the microstructure of ceramsites and the effects of the sintering atmosphere, sintering temperature, and solution pH on their adsorption performance. The ceramsites sintered at 800°C under a nitrogen atmosphere exhibited the largest three-dimensional-interconnected hierarchical porous structure among the prepared ceramsites; further, it exhibited… More > Graphic Abstract

    Surajudeen Sikiru1,*, Hassan Soleimani2, Amir Rostami1, Mohammed Falalu Hamza1,3, Lukmon Owolabi Afolabi4

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.1, pp. 31-44, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.029281

    Abstract Determining the adsorption of shale gas on complex surfaces remains a challenge in molecular simulation studies. Difficulties essentially stem from the need to create a realistic shale structure model in terms of mineral heterogeneity and multiplicity. Moreover, precise characterization of the competitive adsorption of hydrogen and methane in shale generally requires the experimental determination of the related adsorptive capacity. In this study, the adsorption of adsorbates, methane (CH4), and hydrogen (H2) on heterogeneous shale surface models of Kaolinite, Orthoclase, Muscovite, Mica, C60, and Butane has been simulated in the frame of a molecular dynamic’s numerical technique. The results show that… More >

    Abstract Dyes are pervasive contaminants in wastewater, posing significant health risks to both humans and animals. Among the various methods employed for effective dye removal, adsorption has emerged as a highly promising approach due to its notable advantages, including high efficiency, cost-effectiveness, low energy consumption, and operational simplicity compared to alternative treatments. This comprehensive review focuses on investigating adsorbents derived from biowastes and biomass, specifically carbon-based and non-conventional adsorbents, for the removal of malachite green, a widely used dye known for its toxic and carcinogenic properties. Carbon-based adsorbents encompass two main types: activated carbon and biochar, while non-conventional adsorbents refer to… More > Graphic Abstract

    Low-Velocity Impact Response of Sandwich Composite Panels with Shear Stiffening Gel Filled Honeycomb Cores

    Gaojian Lin11,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.3, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09075

    Abstract Over decades, sandwich composite panels (SCPs) have been widely used to fabricate lightweight but strong structural components. However, composite sandwich structures are susceptible to impact damage, which may severely reduce the structural stiffness, stability, and load-carrying capacity[1, 2]. In order to enhance the anti-impact capacity of SCPs, a series of novel core structures[3-5] and filling materials[6-8] have been proposed and tested. One of them is the shear thickening fluids (STFs), which mechanical behavior changed from liquid to solid when subjected to high strain rate shear loading[7, 9]. For example, Fu et al.[10] filled the honeycomb cores of Carbon fiber reinforced… More >

    Ultrafast Adsorption of Tiny Oil Droplets Within Water by Superhydrophobic-Superoleophilic Conical Micro-arrays

    Yunyun Song1, Xu Zhang1, Jialei Yang1, Zhongqiang Zhang1,*, Guanggui Cheng1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09916

    Abstract Although floating oil with large particle sizes can easily be separated from water by membrane separation methods, tiny oil droplets with tremendously small volume force and density gradient at oil-water interfaces within water lead to barriers of oil-water separation. Consequently, tiny oil droplets remain in the water, resulting in energy waste, environmental pollution and biological health hazard. Traditional super-wetting membranes with extremely small pore sizes were easily blocked during the oil-water separation process. Inspired by the cactus and rice leaf, we developed a superhydrophobic-superoleophilic surface with conical micro-arrays to realize ultrafast adsorption of tiny oil droplets within the water.

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.9, pp. 3501-3515, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.027852

    Abstract Iron-pillared bentonite (FB) was prepared by Fe(III) modified bentonite, and then the composites (FB-OS) were prepared by iron-pillared bentonite and oyster shell powder. The composites were characterized by FTIR, SEM, TGA, and EDS, and the phosphorus removal test was carried out. The results showed that FB-OS contained a large amount of CaO. Its structure was compact, but there were gaps in it. The maximum bending stress and compressive strength were 43.7 N and 0.927 MPa, respectively. The phosphorus removal test showed that the phosphorus removal rate of FB-OS was more than 90%, and measured the maximum adsorption capacity was 48.31… More > Graphic Abstract

    POWER LOSS IN MULTISCALE MASS TRANSFER

    Yongbin Zhang*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.13, pp. 1-4, 2019, DOI:10.5098/hmt.13.22

    Abstract The power loss is calculated by a multiscale approach in the pressure driven mass transfer in a micro slit pore where there are the physical adsorbed layers respectively on the coupled walls and intermediate between them is a continuum fluid flow. The flow factor approach model for nanoscale flow is taken to simulate the flow of the adsorbed layer, and conventional hydrodynamic flow theory models the continuum fluid flow. The calculation shows that the adsorbed layer on the wall surface can have a very significant effect on the power loss in this multiscale mass transfer, and it can greatly reduce… More >
