In recent years there has been a heightened concentration on the industrial subsectors that are the primary contributors to environmental pollution. Filler materials made from mineral limestone, which is composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), are utilized in the production of polymer composites in...

Here the effectiveness of cation selective membranes, produced for divalent mercury (Hg2+) preconcetration from aqueous bodies, is examined. To this end, the behavior of PVC-based membranes, functionalized with dithizone for mercury complexation, is examined by means of Energy Dispersive X-ray...

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions lead to negative environmental impacts and it is considered as an indicator for the larger group of gaseous sulfur oxides (SOx) in the air. In this paper, the dimethylamine (DMA) solution was used as the absorbent in a α-Al2O3 hollow fiber membrane contactor that is...

The main objective of this study was to investigate the differences between the main pollutants in young and intermediate age landfill leachate in terms of molecular weight distribution (MWD). Parameters of chemical oxygen demand (COD), five day - biochemical oxygen demand (BOD 5), ultraviolet...

With the aggravation of the unprecedented greenhouse effect, the reduction of greenhouse gases which mainly consist of CO 2 has caught high attention by global scholars. The membrane absorption of CO 2 from the flue gas seems a promising alternative to conventional absorption methods like chemical...
