Application of Pineapple Leaves as Adsorbents for Removal of Rose Bengal from Wastewater: Process Optimization Operating Face-Centered Central Composite Design (FCCCD)
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2020 , Article)Adsorptive removal of rose bengal (RB) from contaminated water samples was approached using pineapple leaves (PAL). Three adsorbents were utilized for that purpose; raw pineapple leaves (RPAL) and the thermally activated ... -
Competitive adsorptive removal of promazine and promethazine from wastewater using olive tree pruning biochar: operational parameters, kinetics, and equilibrium investigations
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)This research aims to remove two phenothiazines, promazine (PRO) and promethazine (PMT), from their individual and binary mixtures using olive tree pruning biochar (BC-OTPR). The impact of individual and combinatory effects ... -
Eco-structured adsorptive removal of tigecycline from wastewater: Date pits’ biochar versus the magnetic biochar
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2020 , Article)Non-magnetic and magnetic low-cost biochar (BC) from date pits (DP) were applied to remove tigecycline (TIGC) from TIGC-artificially contaminated water samples. Pristine biochar from DP (BCDP) and magnetite-decorated biochar ... -
Enhanced adsorptive removal of rifampicin and tigecycline from single system using nano-ceria decorated biochar of mango seed kernel
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) represent an emerging class of contaminants. With a potential to negatively impact human health and the ecosystem, existence of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic systems is becoming ... -
Green tea waste as an efficient adsorbent for methylene blue: Structuring of a novel adsorbent using full factorial design
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2021 , Article)Adsorptive removal of methylene blue (MB) from contaminated water samples was achieved using green tea waste (GTW). Adsorption of MB onto raw (RGTW) and thermally treated waste (TTGTW250–TTGTW500) was explored. The performance ... -
The interface of machine learning and carbon quantum dots: From coordinated innovative synthesis to practical application in water control and electrochemistry
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article Review)Not long ago, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) came into view as a revolutionary class of materials, propelling advancements in water remediation and electrochemical technology. This comprehensive review explores the cutting-edge ... -
Performance of Pristine versus Magnetized Orange Peels Biochar Adapted to Adsorptive Removal of Daunorubicin: Eco-Structuring, Kinetics and Equilibrium Studies
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2023 , Article)Drugs and pharmaceuticals are an emergent class of aquatic contaminants. The existence of these pollutants in aquatic bodies is currently raising escalating concerns because of their negative impact on the ecosystem. This ... -
TiO2-functionalized biochar from pistachio nutshells: adsorptive removal and photocatalytic decolorization of methyl orange
(2023 , Article)Pistachio nutshells-derived biochar (PNS-BC) was utilized as a cost-effective adsorbent for competently removing a model dye, methyl orange (MO) from wastewater. Three concentrations of TiO2; 1%, 2%, and 3% were used to ... -
Turning waste avocado stones and montmorillonite into magnetite-supported nanocomposites for the depollution of methylene blue: adsorbent reusability and performance optimization
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)The existence of methylene blue (MB) in wastewater even as traces is raising environmental concerns. In this regard, the performances of four adsorbents, avocado stone biochar (AVS-BC), montmorillonite (MMT), and their ... -
Watermelon rinds as cost-efficient adsorbent for acridine orange: a response surface methodological approach
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)In the current investigation, watermelon rinds (WMR) have been utilized as an eco-friendly and cost-efficient adsorbent for acridine orange (AO) from contaminated water samples. Adsorption of AO onto raw (RWM) and thermally ...
