ABSTRACT: The performance of highly ordered nitrogen-doped titania (TiO2) nanotube arrays, fabricated by anodization method, was tested for photocatalytic CO2 conversion with CH4. Nitrogen-doped titania nanotube arrays were characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron … Continue reading →

ABSTRACT: The discharge of silver ions from nanosilver-based product into the environment has raised the ecological and human health concern due to the toxicity of silver ion, particularly on the release behaviour of ionized nanosilver from the wastage. Therefore, recovery … Continue reading →

Abstract: Palm shells, which are agricultural by-products from palm oil processing, were used to produce low-cost activated carbons. Effect of different carbonization times (1–4 h) on the biochar and activated carbon properties was investigated. The carbonization was carried out at 700°C … Continue reading →

ABSTRACT: Pharmaceuticals and personal care products are recognized as emerging pollutants in water resources. Various treatment options have been investigated for the removal of pharmaceuticals that include both conventional (e.g., biodegradation, adsorption, activated sludge) and advanced (e.g., membrane, microfiltration, ozonation) … Continue reading →

ABSTRACT: Photocatalysis is a promising method for the disinfection of potable water in developing countries. Water treatment using nanocrystalline titanium dioxide photocatalytic oxidation is a well-known, enhanced and advanced oxidation process for environmental remediation. In this article, the bactericidal properties … Continue reading →
