Post-treatment of anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) effluent using activated carbon by Mai, Do Thi, Kunacheva, Chinagarn, Stuckey, David C.

“…Batch experiments using six activated carbons to treat AnMBR effluents resulting from the treatment of a synthetic wastewater containing ciprofloxacin were carried out at 35 °C. 22-82% COD was removed at a dose of 1 g activated carbon/L, while size characterization showed the 13.4 kDa and <1 kDa fractions were the most difficult to adsorb, while CIP was often removed with high efficiencies of mainly 100%. Significant removal of VFAs also occurred, up to 100%, and this contributed greatly to COD removal. …”

Synthesizing high purity nano crystalline Y2O3 powder for transparent ceramics by Shawn Berqmans Pereira

“…Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3) is one of the nanomaterials that has been widely used in ceramics. It is mainly due to giving its host material ideal physical and chemical properties such as having high melting point, a broad transparency range, corrosion resistance, etc. [1] Before fabrication of yttria ceramics, the Y2O3 powder has to first be synthesized to provide adequate properties to its host material. …”
