Co-hydrothermal carbonization of different feedstocks to hydrochar as potential energy for the future world: A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Co-hydrothermal carbonization (co-HTC) has emerged recently as a promising thermochemical technique that can transfer organic solid residue (e.g., biomass, sewage sludge, plastic, livestock manure) into value-added products ...
A review on microwave-assisted synthesis of adsorbents and its application in the removal of water pollutants
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article Review)
The use of conventional heating techniques in adsorbents preparation involves long synthesis time, high energy consumption, high cost and material fast firing. Recently, Microwave heating technique has been used to replace ...
Dark-Fenton oxidative degradation of methylene blue and acid blue 29 dyes using sulfuric acid-activated slag of the steel-making process
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
The pollution of water by effluents from dye industries is a widely established environmental and health problem that requires new insights and urgent attention. In this study, methylene blue (MB) and acid blue 29 (AB29) ...
Natural and Low-Cost P. turgidum for Efficient Adsorption of Hg(II) Ions from Contaminated Solution: Isotherms and Kinetics Studies
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Mercury (II) ions (Hg(II)), a potent heavy metal water pollutant, was efficiently removed using a novel adsorbent prepared from Panicum turgidum roots by facile drying. The experimental conditions such as the solution pH, ...
Utilization of biochars as sustainable catalysts for upgrading of glycerol from biodiesel production
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Abundant bioglycerol generated via transesterification of triglycerides was used to synthesize valuable glycerol carbonate, GC. This was achieved by pyrolyzing cow dung (CDB) and fish scale (FSB) biowastes at various ...
Mesoporous biohybrid epichlorohydrin crosslinked chitosan/carbon clay adsorbent for effective cationic and anionic dyes adsorption
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Epichlorohydrin crosslinked chitosan/carbon–clay (CSCC) biohybrid adsorbent was prepared for the adsorption of cationic methylene blue (MB) and anionic azo acid blue 29 (AB 29). The 40:60 wt% of chitosan (CS) and carbon–clay ...
Comparative Investigation of the Physicochemical Properties of Chars Produced by Hydrothermal Carbonization, Pyrolysis, and Microwave-Induced Pyrolysis of Food Waste
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
This work presents a comparative study of the physicochemical properties of chars derived by three thermochemical pathways, namely: hydrothermal carbonization, HTC (at 180, 200 and 220 °C), pyrolysis, PY, (at 500, 600 and ...
Recent progress on nanomaterial-based membranes for water treatment
(
MDPI

Nanomaterials have emerged as the new future generation materials for high-performance water treatment membranes with potential for solving the worldwide water pollution issue. The incorporation of nanomaterials in membranes ...
Review on recent progress in chitosan/chitin-carbonaceous material composites for the adsorption of water pollutants
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article Review)
Chitosan and chitin are categorized as low cost, renewable and eco-friendly biopolymers. However, they have low mechanical properties and unfavorable pore properties in terms of low surface area and total pore volume that ...
