The performance of micro-meso-pore HY zeolite for supporting Mo toward oxidation of dibenzothiophene.

A uniformly distribution of 3 wt.% Mo (with tetrahedral coordination) on a commercial HY zeolite having both micro- and meso-pores, provided a new active catalyst which resulted 100% removal of DBT in this work. Respectively, HO and acetonitrile were used as the oxidant and extraction solvent for oxidative desulfurization (ODS) at a mild condition.

Comparison of Azithromycin Removal from Water Using UV Radiation, Fe (VI) Oxidation Process and ZnO Nanoparticles.

Antibiotics are resistant to biodegradation, and their removal by biological processes is difficult. The purpose of this study was to investigate the removal of azithromycin from water using ultraviolet radiation (UV), Fe (VI) oxidation process and ZnO nanoparticles. The effect of different parameters such as pH, temperature, hydraulic retention time (HRT), the concentration of Fe (VI) and ZnO nanoparticles and UV intensity on the removal of azithromycin from water was investigated.

Enhancing ferrate(VI) oxidation process to remove blue 203 from wastewater utilizing MgO nanoparticles.

The aim of this study is to investigate the beneficial effect of utilizing MgO nanoparticles on the performance of ferrate(VI) oxidation process to remove blue-203 dye from wastewater. It was also made an attempt to assess the effects of pH, temperature, and MgO nanoparticle dosage on this oxidation process performance. Several sets of batch experiment were conducted to find out the effects of temperature ranging from 25 to 65 °C, pH ranging from 1.
