Application of Acid Treated Carbon Derived from Biomass (Lantana camara) for Removal of Phenol from Aqueous SolutionsBy Pushpa Jha, Priya Rani
Abstract: The presence of phenolic compounds is toxic and harmful to human health and aquatic life. Five biomass: cotton stalk, rice straw, bagasse, wheat straw and Lantana camara were characterized. Based on characterization and availability, Lantana camara (LC) was selected for study as an adsorbent. LC and activated Lantana camara (ALC) were further characterized and studied for their suitability as the commercial adsorbent for removal of phenol. Equilibrium study on ALC …

Application of Agro-Residues for Removal of Oil Spill From Sea SurfaceBy Pushpa Jha, Amanpreet Kaur, Akash Rauthan, Nidhi Sharma, Sunil Kumar
Abstract: Rice husk (RH), wheat straw (WS) and sawdust (SD) were studied for sorption of oil spill (diesel oil of density 0.828 g/cc was taken as oil spill for lab study) from artificially prepared sea water (3.5% NaCl) at 20, 25, 30 and 35°C at various dosages. As RH gave maximum sorption capacity at all temperatures and at all dosages under study, it was focus of investigation for its application for …
