Thermal Modification of the Molybdenum Disulfide Surface for Tremendous Improvement of Hg2+ Adsorption from Aqueous Solution
TL;DR: The adsorption of Hg2+ on thermally modified molybdenum disulfide was explored in this article, where the authors showed that thermal treatment led to partial oxidation of MoS2 to MoO3 and a creation of edge defects on the surface of molybenet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of ammonia on activated carbon from aqueous solutions
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of temperature, ammonia concentration, and activated carbon dose on ammonia adsorption was investigated in a batch stirred cell and the results showed that the ammonia removal rate on activated carbon increases with its concentration in the aqueous solutions.
