Anionic poly(sodium acrylate), PANa, hydrogels bearing negatively charged –COO- groups were used as sorbents for the removal of colored organic or inorganic model pollutants, namely Crystal Violet and Cu2+, from water. It was found that PANa hydrogels adsorb stronger Cu2+ions than Crystal Violet, as...

Coals contain elements which, although usually found in concentrations lower than 1% (trace elements), can give rise to environmental or technological problems. After gasification most of these elements may occur in gas phase in different proportions. In order to avoid the problems that the presence...

The objective of this study was set on three goals: (i) Chemical and radiological characterization and leaching properties of the mixture of fly and bottom ash, (ii) Chemical, radiological and mineralogical characterization of the Kastela Bay sediments, and (iii) Estimation of the influence of...
