Synthesis of Fe3O4-Ag nanoparticles (NPs) was implemented via utilizing the method of coprecipitation for synthesizing the Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and reducing silver nitrate (AgNO3) to Ag nanoparticles, and impregnating the Ag NPs into the Fe3O4 NPs. The synthesized composite material was characterized using zeta potential, FT-IR, XRD, the contact angle, and the particles size distribution analysis.… Continue reading Synthesis and Characterization of Fe3O4-Ag Composite Nanoparticles for Oil–Water Separation
The discharge of large volumes of oily wastewaters without sufficient treatment poses a huge risk on the environment. The main objective of this study was to investigate the capability of electro-coagulation/flotation (ECF) process for the removal of oil from industrial oily wastewater via different electrodes’ configuration. These included anode-cathode-anode-cathode (ACAC), anode-cathode-cathode-anode (ACCA), and cathode-anode-anode-cathode (CAAC)… Continue reading Impact of electrodes’ configuration in an electrokinetic cell for oil-water separation
