In this study, batch biosorption experiments were conducted to determine the removal efficiency of Cd(II) ion from aqueous solutions by Gossypium barbadense waste. The biosorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and...
Harmful algal blooms in source water are a worldwide issue for drinking water production and safety. UV/HO, a pre-oxidation process, was firstly applied to enhance Fe(II) coagulation for the removal of Microcystis aeruginosa [M. aeruginosa, 2.0 (±0.5...
The effect of electronegativity on the electrosorption selectivity of anions during capacitive deionization was investigated via a combination of experimental and theoretical studies. A model was developed based on chemical thermodynamics and the cla...

To use stabilized nanoparticles (NPs) in water as disinfectants over a very long period, the amount of coating agent (for NP stabilization) needs to be optimized. To this end, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) with two different coating densities of tri-...
Dual-chambered fuel cells with an iron anode and an air-carbon cathode separated by an ion exchange membranes have been used to treat arsenate during power production. To select an effective catholyte, the dual-chambered fuel cell consisted 90 mL of ...
BACKGROUND: Waterborne pathogens such as Pseudomonas spp. and Legionella spp. may persist in hospital water networks despite chemical disinfection. Point-of-use filtration represents a physical control measure that can be applied in high-risk areas t...
