Fly ash

A protocol is proposed whereby waste fly ash and CO2 emissions from coal fired power plants are utilized in remediating brine waste. The solid residues generated may be used as mine backfill since they consist mainly of benign calcium carbonate. Following treatment with fly ash and CO2, over 99% removal

Adsorption of Reactive Blue 21 (RB21) onto fly ash (FA) and sepiolite from aqueous solutions was investigated. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to evaluate the influences of experimental parameters such as initial dye concentration (100–750 mg/l), pH (2–8), adsorbent dosage (1–4 g/l) an

The present work dealt with the characterization and treatment of liquid wastes produced during the hydrometallurgical recovery of germanium (Ge) from fly ash. The main metals causing reasons for environmental concern were arsenic (As), nickel (Ni) and antimony (Sb). Precipitation using calcium hydr

Crude oil released to the marine environment through accidental spillage or drainage from land causes serious damage to the environment and marine life. Treatment of oil spills remains a challenge to environmental scientists and technologists. Sorption is a popular technique applied for treatment of
