The effect of physicochemical properties of activated carbon on adsorption of elemental
mercury (Hg 0) was investigated on a series of modified activated carbons. Heat treatment …

Bio-char (BC) samples were modified by the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma
method to enhance the adsorption capacity for gaseous mercury (Hg 0). The discharge …

This article investigates the properties of surface oxygen-containing functional groups
(SOFG) on activated carbons, and their effects on removal of gaseous mercury chloride …

In this article, a 1-THz traveling-wave tube (TWT) based on flat-roofed sine waveguide
(SWG) slow wave structure (SWS) has been studied theoretically and experimentally, and …

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) non-thermal plasma was applied to introduce Cl active sites on
biochar prepared from sorghum straw in this study. Surface modified biochar was then …

Purpose Soil represents a key reservoir for microplastics (MPs) in the terrestrial
environment. Unfortunately, scientific endeavors on MP pollution in rural soils of coastal …

A quantitative analytical method for metallic iron was developed for wastes from iron and
steel mills. These wastes consist of slags, dusts and sludges, mill scales, spent pickle liquor …
