    Abstract: In this study, supercritical ethanol process is employed to remove the oxygen-containing functional groups in lignite and the effects of temperature, residence time and ethanol /coal mass ratio on the deoxygenation were systematically investigated. Specifically, the solid and liquid products after supercritical ethanol deoxygenation were characteri... Show More

    Abstract: The Kinetics of the Biosorption of Methylene Blue onto LagenariaSphaerica as adsorbent was studied and the plant was characterized to check it suitability to be used as adsorbent for the treatment of aqueous waste water. The LagenariaSphaerica used was sliced into small sizes, sun dried for 14 days and later oven dried at 105°C for 2 hours to archi... Show More
