Carbonaceous material that is activated to form precursor activated carbon is further enhanced by doping with copper, iron, and nitrogen and calcining. The carbonaceous material includes those obtained from coal, wood, or coconut shells. Methods of doping the activated carbon are described. The described treatment processes result in a sorbent material that has excellent performance in removing chloramine and similar compounds from fluids such as water that is intended for drinking.

The present invention relates to a process for the detection and adsorption of arsenic from ground water and industrial waste water using lanthanide doped nanoparticles. More particularly, the present invention provides a process for the detection and adsorption arsenic in ppm level using Eu.sub.0.05Y.sub.0.95PO.sub.4 nanoparticles.

A method for treating a liquid waste is provided. The method includes supplying the liquid waste to a plurality of cross flow filters from at least one high level waste tank; filtering the liquid waste via the plurality of cross flow filters to form a clarified salt solution; removing at least one radionuclide from the clarified salt solution via a plurality of elutable ion exchange columns filled with an ion exchange media to form an eluate and a decontaminated salt solution; and removing at least one radionuclide from the eluate via a first non-elutable adsorption component to form a dewatered radionuclide sorbent and a decontaminated eluate solution.

The invention discloses a composite with an adsorption-visible light catalytic degradation synergistic effect and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method includes the specific steps that firstly, a bismuth oxyiodide/bismuth oxychloride composite nano-particle loaded activated carbon fiber composite ACF@BiOI.sub.xCl.sub.1-x is synthesized; then, the fiber surface is grafted with polyethyleneimine, and the end composite PEI-g-ACF@BiOI.sub.xCl.sub.1-x is obtained. The composite can rapidly adsorb pollutants in water, and meanwhile the pollutants are efficiently degraded with a photocatalyst loaded on the surface of the composite; besides, the purpose of recycling and reusing the photocatalyst is achieved, the comprehensive treatment capability of the composite is improved, the service life of the composite is prolonged, and the use cost is lowered.

The present disclosure provides adsorbent compositions of carbon-containing material and nitrogen that are co-doped with a metal, such as magnesium or calcium. The disclosure also provides methods of adsorbing phosphate, as well as beneficial end products following the process of adsorption.

The present invention relates to a system and method for lowering the toxic pollutants from emissions containing molecular filter media compositions and methods of production. The filter media provides air purification by absorbing the effluents from the emission and then repurposing the contaminants through chemical interaction on the surface of the filter media and the regenerant. The adsorbent composition of the filter media maintains its integrity at high process temperature.
