Investigating the potential of using solid waste generated from stone cutting factories for phenol removal from wastewater: A study of adsorption kinetics and isotherms
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Remarkably toxic, phenol requires efficient elimination from water. This study investigates the utilization of solid waste generated by stone-cutting factories for extracting phenol from wastewater. The solid waste underwent ...
Functionalized cellulose nanocrystals extracted from date pits as agricultural waste for the efficient remediation of molybdenum from groundwater: Performance and mechanistic studies
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
The adsorption technique has proven to be an excellent option for treating contaminated water. This work was designed to investigate the efficient remediation of molybdenum (Mo(VI)) from groundwater by using a novel adsorbent ...
Nutrient retention and release from raw exhausted grape marc biochars and an amended agricultural soil: Static and dynamic investigation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Biochar is the solid by-product of biomass thermochemical conversion via pyrolysis technique. Biochar addition to croplands as an organic amendment can improve soil properties and increase agricultural productivity. However, ...
Purification of colloidal oil in water emulsions by cationic adsorbent prepared from recycled polyethylene waste
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
This study deals with removing crude oil droplets from colloidal oil in water emulsions. The target was the development of efficient adsorbents for the tertiary treatment of industrial-produced water (PW). The novel adsorbent ...
Synthesis of Gemini cationic surfactants based on natural nicotinic acid and evaluation of their inhibition performance at C-steel/1 M HCl interface: Electrochemical and computational investigations
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Herein, we prepare effective Gemini cationic surfactants (CSII, CSIV) and characterize them using FT-IR and 1HNMR spectroscopy. The adsorptive properties of CSII and CSIV at HCl/air and C-steel/HCl interfaces were examined ...
Static and dynamic investigations on leaching/retention of nutrients from raw poultry manure biochars and amended agricultural soil
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, nutrients release/adsorption from/by raw poultry manure-derived biochar produced at a pyrolysis temperature of 600 °C (RPM-B) was assessed under static and dynamic conditions. Batch sequential leaching ...
Use of lignite as a low-cost material for cadmium and copper removal from aqueous solutions: Assessment of adsorption characteristics and exploration of involved mechanisms
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Lignite, as an available and low-cost material, was tested for cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) removal from aqueous solutions under various static experimental conditions. Experimental results showed that the removal efficiency ...
Green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles for removal of carbamazepine in water and soil systems
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase in pharmaceutical releases (4 %), which created a pressing global need for solutions. In this study, we explored the use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (GS-ZnONPs) ...
Dimethoxytriazine-Triazole Linked Mesoporous Silica Hybrid Sorbent for Cationic Dyes Adsorption
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2023 , Article)
Organic dye has always been considered one of the most serious water pollutants. Therefore, the great challenge nowadays is to synthesize effective adsorbents for removal of these contaminants. Herein, we prepared successfully ...
