“…Thermal treatment of the biomass at 500 °C led to a carbonaceous material with a characteristic morphology of aggregated particles with cavities. Activation using zinc chloride gave rise to the sample (AC), where an increase in the size of cavities was observed, in agreement with the literature [39]. Figure 11a shows that the NT sample consists of combined crystallites in larger clusters.…”

In this study, results are presented concerning the development of alternative materials based on titanium dioxide (TiO2) and agro-industrial waste for use in the treatment of effluent contaminated with dyes. The photocatalytic activity of a composite formed by the association of activated carbon, obtained from pit residue of mango, with modified titanium dioxide was evaluated by the degradation of crystal violet dye. From the analysis of X-rays diffratograms, it was observed that the modification introduced in the TiO2, as well as the formation of the composite with activated carbon, lead to wider peaks with lesser intensity, suggesting the formation of small particles. The composite presented the best photocatalytic performance, attributed to the significantly large specific area of this material when compared to pure TiO2, reaching 99% degradation of the organic matter after 60 minutes of reaction time. This is, therefore, a promising material for environmental photocatalysis.

Data on the treatment of used lubricating oil from two different sources using solvent extraction and adsorption

The data in this article were obtained from a research designed to investigate the effects of choice of solvent, mixing speed, temperature and solvent to oil ratio on the treatment process of used lubricating oils using solvent extraction and adsorption method. Various data on the performance of the three solvents chosen were studied and compared based on certain parameters are presented and discussed. From the results obtained, it was observed that MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) had the best performance because it gave the highest sludge removal and closest properties to the fresh lubricating base stock. Furthermore, it was also determined that increase in temperature improved the quality of oil obtained up till 50 °C above this temperature poorer quality of oil was observed. But above all the factors investigated, it was concluded that solvent to oil ratio has a greater effect on the quality of oil produced after treatment.

“…In spite of the high manufacturing and operational costs of most of these treatment methods, the use of activated carbon has been mentioned to be a less expensive method since the activated carbon can easily be prepared from low cost raw materials such as saw dust, rose seed, cornel seed, bamboo, calabash, and coconut shell even when prepared commercially [ 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Moreover, according to Makeswari and Santhi (2013), activated carbon is equally effective for treating hospital effluent [22] .…”

The need for simple, cheaper and high performance hospital effluent treatment system in Kete-Krachi District which is adjacent to the Lake Volta has necessitated this study. This study focuses on assessing, and treating Kete-Krachi District Hospital effluent using packed granular (GAC) and smooth activated carbon (SAC). The use of activated carbon is due to its less expensive method of operation, the ease to prepare from local raw materials, high availability, and effectiveness for treating hospital effluent. The dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nutrient compounds (P-PO4, N-NO3), turbidity, pH, conductivity and total coliform parameters were investigated and later treated with the activated carbon. The average conductivity and P-PO4 removals were <50%. The average BOD5, COD, coliform, N-NO3, and turbidity removals for all the SAC treatments were 58.36%, 62.26%, 84.39%, 83.86%, and 50.74%, respectively. The DO also improved 3.8 times on the average. The pH of the raw and treated samples was within the limit 6.5–9. The results of this study suggest that the SAC is predominantly effective for reducing the pollutants concentrations of the hospital effluent which can result in oxygen depletion, eutrophication, algal bloom and ecosystem disturbance in the Lake Volta. It will also decrease the susceptibility of the Kete-Krachi residents to waterborne diseases as the effluents seep into the Lake.
