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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
