Journal ArticleDOI

Application of response surface methodology (RSM) for optimization of leaching parameters for ash reduction from low-grade coal

TL;DR: In this paper, a quadratic model was proposed to correlate the independent variables for maximum ash reduction at the optimum process condition by using central composite design (CCD) method.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel acid modified alumina adsorbent with enhanced defluoridation property: Kinetics, isotherm study and applicability on industrial wastewater.

TL;DR: An attempt was made for the removal of fluoride ions from wastewater by a novel adsorbent synthesized with alumina and H2SO4 acid by acidic activation, which was found to be endothermic and spontaneous.
Journal ArticleDOI

Process Optimization Study of Zn2+ Adsorption on Biochar-Alginate Composite Adsorbent by Response Surface Methodology (RSM)

TL;DR: In this article, a biochar alginate composite adsorbent was synthesized and applied for removal of Zn2+ ions from aqueous solution, and the effect of process variables like initial Zn 2+ concentration (25-100 mg/L), adsorent dose (0.4-8 g/L) and temperature (298-318 K) on ZN 2+ adsorption was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Facile method to synthesize efficient adsorbent from alumina by nitric acid activation: Batch scale defluoridation, kinetics, isotherm studies and implementation on industrial wastewater treatment

TL;DR: The synthesis of a novel adsorbent (HNAA) by simple and convenient process of nitric acid activation of alumina resulted in improvement of defluoridation efficiency and exhibited the better regeneration and reusability features which distinguish it as a promising adsorbents to be applied for real field wastewater.
Journal ArticleDOI

Removal of dyes from aqueous solution by sorption with fly ash using a hydrocyclone

TL;DR: A spiral rib has been introduced in the cylindrical part of the conventional hydrocyclone to increase the performance and this hydrocycle is called as a ribbed hydrocycle as mentioned in this paper, which is more efficient than conventional one and it could be used for the removal of both fly ash and methyl orange in a continuous mode.
