Adsorption and desorption processes of toxic heavy metals, regeneration and reusability of spent adsorbents: Economic and environmental sustainability approach
(Elsevier, 2024-05-19)A growing number of variables, including rising population, water scarcity, growth in the economy, and the existence of harmful heavy metals in the water supply, are contributing to the increased demand for wastewater ... -
Adsorptive Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater Using Low-Cost Adsorbents Derived from Agro-based Materials.
(Springer Nature, 2024-03-29)Recently, anthropogenic activities have evolved into sources of pollution, particularly when it comes to the discharge of harmful heavy metals into the natural environment. As a result, the concentration of diverse heavy ... -
Applicability of bio-adsorbents synthesized from maize/corn plant residues for heavy metals removal from aquatic environments: an insight review
(EQA-International Journal of Environmental Quality, 2023-07-14)The underutilization of agricultural waste products in recent years has resulted in environmental issues owing to improper disposal. As a result, heavy metals removal from aqueous systems utilizing sorbent materials produced ... -

Artisanal and small-scale mining in Tanzania and health implications: A policy perspective
(Elsevier, 2023-03-17)The mineral sector, especially its small-scale subsector, has become significant in the emerging economies of the Global South. Tanzania is the focus of this policy exposition paper because, aside from Ghana and South ... -
A comprehensive review on the decontamination of lead(II) from water and wastewater by low-cost biosorbents
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-04-12)The disadvantages of conventional methods in water and wastewater management including the demand for high energy consumption, the creation of secondary toxic sludge, and operation cost are much too high for developing ... -
Modeling and optimization of independent factors influencing lead(II) biosorption from aqueous systems: A statistical approach
(Elsevier, 2022-07)Lead, [Pb(II)] is a major hazardous contaminant that exists in the soil, surface, and groundwater as a result of human activities. It is carcinogenic in nature and causes damage to the liver, kidney, and bones as well as ... -
Modeling and optimization of trivalent arsenic removal from wastewater using activated carbon produced from maize plant biomass: a multivariate experimental design approach
(Springer Nature Limited, 2023-06-24)Globally, both industrialized and developing nations struggle with the issue of water pollution due to heavy metals. Human life depends on water, and when it is contaminated with dangerous heavy metals like arsenic, people’s ... -
Non-competitive and competitive detoxification of As (III) ions from single and binary biosorption systems and biosorbent regeneration
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2023-01-14)The quantity of studies reporting on single-metal sorption systems is increasing every day while the elimination of heavy metals in binary and multisolute systems is seldom reported. Therefore, the biosorption and desorption ... -
Optimization of arsenic(III) and mercury(II) removal from non-competitive and competitive sorption systems onto activated carbon
(NM-AIST, 2024-07)Heavy metals exist in the ecosystem both naturally and due to anthropogenic activities and as recalcitrant pollutants; they are non-biodegradable and cause acute and chronic diseases to human beings and many lifeforms. ... -
Optimization of desorption parameters using response surface methodology for enhanced recovery of arsenic from spent reclaimable activated carbon: Eco-friendly and sorbent sustainability approach
(Elsevier Inc., 2024-06-05)Desorption and adsorbent regeneration are imperative factors that are required to be taken into account when designing the adsorption system. From the environmental, economic, and practical points of view, regeneration is ... -
Optimization of divalent mercury removal from synthetic wastewater using desirability function in central composite design of response surface methodology
(Springer Naturer, 2023-12-07)Heavy metals exist in the ecosystem both naturally and due to anthropogenic activities and as recalcitrant pollutants; they are non-biodegradable and cause acute and chronic diseases to human beings and many lifeforms. A ... -
Recent and sustainable advances in phytoremediation of heavy metals from wastewater using aquatic plant species: Green approach
(Elsevier, 2024-11)A key component in a nation's economic progress is industrialization, however, hazardous heavy metals that are detrimental to living things are typically present in the wastewater produced from various industries. Therefore, ... -
Removal of heavy metals from binary and multicomponent adsorption systems using various adsorbents – a systematic review
(Research Society of Chemistry, 2023)The ecosystem and human health are both significantly affected by the occurrence of potentially harmful heavy metals in the aquatic environment. In general, wastewater comprises an array of heavy metals, and the existence ... -
Response surface optimization and modeling in heavy metal removal from wastewater—a critical review
(Springer Nature, 2022-04-08)The existence of hazardous heavy metals in aquatic settings causes health risks to humans, prompting researchers to devise effective methods for removing these pollutants from drinking water and wastewater. To obtain optimum ...
