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 ... -
Photocatalytic degradation of azo dyes in textile wastewater by Polyaniline composite catalyst-a review
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-09)Azo dyes in industrial textile and dye effluent (5–30%) have become irresistibly recalcitrant and toxic to both treatments and the environment respectively. Global concerns about the persistent nature of these dyes and the ... -
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, ... -
The removal of ciprofloxacin from synthetic wastewater in constructed wetland
(Elsevier, 2023-04-08)Considering the health effects of antibiotics in the environment, effective monitoring and treatment technologies are needed to mitigate social and environmental impacts. The present study was carried out to investigate ... -
