Preparation of CO2 activated carbon from corncob for monoethylene glycol adsorption

Removal of phenol from aqueous solutions by adsorption onto organomodified Tirebolu bentonite: Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic study

“…However, its high cost and the difficulties in recovering of activated carbon particles from treated water, limit its use as an adsorbent. In recent years, clay minerals have been widely used as adsorbents for the removal of toxic metals and organic pollutants from aqueous solutions due to their low cost, large specific surface area, chemical and mechanical stability, layered structure and high cation exchange capacity [2,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Removal of monoethylene glycol from wastewater by using Zr-metal organic frameworks

“…MEG can cause damage to the kidneys or death at high accumulated concentrations [8]. Natural gas processing produces ethylene glycol-containing wastewater and consequently increases the chemical oxygen demand (COD) in water [9]. Removal of MEG from contaminated water is thus an important consideration in the design of operation units in the petroleum industry [10].…”

Sorption dynamics of Direct Orange 26 dye onto a corncob plant sorbent

“…Corncobs are also equally commonly used to obtain activated carbon [17][18][19][20][21]. Activated carbon obtained from corncobs is used to adsorb several water contaminants such as methylene glycol [22], chlorophenol [23], dyes [24] or heavy metal ions [16,[25][26][27]. [28] Infrared analysis of the sorbent is used both prior and after dye adsorption process to explore the mechanism of dye compound binding onto the sorbent.…”
