Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of aqueous As(III) and As(V) by hydrous titanium dioxide.
TL;DR: The tested material, a mixture of titanium hydroxide and titanium dioxide for removing aqueous arsenic functioned well in removing both primary inorganic arsenic forms and performed well in other pH conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal Carbonization of Argan Nut Shell: Functional Mesoporous Carbon with Excellent Performance in the Adsorption of Bisphenol A and Diuron
Mohamed Zbair,Mohamed Zbair,Michael Bottlinger,Kaisu Ainassaari,Satu Ojala,Oliver Stein,Riitta L. Keiski,Mohammed Bensitel,Rachid Brahmi +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesized and applied hydrochar derived from Argan nut shell (ANS) to remove bisphenol A (BPA) and diuron.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward new benchmark adsorbents: preparation and characterization of activated carbon from argan nut shell for bisphenol A removal
Mohamed Zbair,Kaisu Ainassaari,Asmaa Drif,Satu Ojala,Michael Bottlinger,Minna Pirilä,Riitta L. Keiski,Mohammed Bensitel,Rachid Brahmi +8 more
TL;DR: This work provides a potential way to use argan nut shell but also represents a sustainable approach to synthesize AC-HP, which might be an ideal material for various applications (energy storage, catalysis, and environmental remediation).
Journal ArticleDOI
Steam activation of waste biomass: highly microporous carbon, optimization of bisphenol A, and diuron adsorption by response surface methodology
Mohamed Zbair,Kaisu Ainassaari,Zouhair El Assal,Satu Ojala,Nadia El Ouahedy,Riitta L. Keiski,Mohammed Bensitel,Rachid Brahmi +7 more
TL;DR: The response surface method was used to optimize the removal efficiency of bisphenol A and diuron on ANS@H2O-120 from aqueous solution, and Langmuir isotherm model presented the best fit to the experimental data suggesting micropore filling of ANS @H2 O-120.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of Volatile Organic Compounds as an Alternative for Destructive Abatement
Satu Ojala,Niina Koivikko,Tiina Laitinen,Anass Mouammine,Prem Kumar Seelam,Said Laassiri,Kaisu Ainassaari,Rachid Brahmi,Riitta L. Keiski +8 more
TL;DR: The treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions is a necessity of today The catalytic treatment has already proven to be environmentally and economically sound technology for the total oxidation of the VOCs However, it may also become economical to utilize these emissions in some profitable way as discussed by the authors.
