Removal of fluoride from water using activated carbon fibres modified with zirconium by a drop-coating method.
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-09-01)
Metal-modified carbon materials have been widely used for fluoride removal, but the traditional impregnation by soaking method suffers from low loading of metals and substantial use of chemicals. This study proposed a new ...
Oldoinyo Lengai Volcanic Ash for Removal of Hydrogen Sulfide and Ammonia from Biogas
(Scientific Research an Academic Publisher, 2018-04-13)
Oldoinyo Lengai mountain located in Northern Tanzania is the only active natrocarbonatite volcano with unusually alkali-rich natrocarbonatites which are not found elsewhere in the world. Volcanic ash formed earlier during ...
Biochars derived from banana and mango peels in isolated systems revealed high removal efficiency of endocrine-disrupting compounds from water.
(Springer Nature, 2024-10-01)
This study investigated the effectiveness of biochar derived from banana and disrupting endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) from water in isolated systems. The study aimed to provide an eco-friendly solution for water ...
Advances in metal–organic frameworks as adsorbents, photocatalysts and membranes: a new frontier in water purification
(Springer Nature Link, 2024-08-06)
Water is an essential and irreplaceable necessity for life on earth, sustaining ecosystems, nourishing agriculture and vital for human survival. However, increasing population and industrialization has exacerbated water ...
Adsorption of phenol and methylene blue contaminants onto high-performance catalytic activated carbon from biomass residues
(Cellpress, 2025-01-15)
Organic contaminants from wastewater toxicity to the environment has increased during the last few decades and, therefore, there is an urgent need to decontaminate wastewater prior to disposal. This study aimed to create ...
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 ...
Applicability of bio-adsorbents synthesized from maize/corn plant residues for heavy metals removal from aquatic environments:an insight review
(International Journal of Environmental Quality, 2023-07-04)
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 arsenic in a sand filter coupled with zero valent iron
(Elsevier, 2023-06-22)
Arsenic (As) in wastewater has negative effects on the environment and human health, hence As containing wastes must be handled properly. Given the accessibility of metallic iron, studies investigating into the potential ...
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 ...
Adsorption and desorption ability of divalent mercury from an interactive bicomponent sorption system using hybrid granular activated carbon
(Springer International Publishing, 2023-09)
The sequestration of heavy metals from multicomponent sorption media has become critical due to the noxious effects of heavy metals on the natural environment and subsequently on human health as well as all life forms. The ...
