A comprehensive review on application of plant-based bioadsorbents for Congo red removal
( Springer , 2022 , Article)Rapid development of global printing and dyeing industry has enhanced the need of different dyes. Congo red (CR) dye is one of widely used dyes in dyeing industry due to its high chromaticity. So, CR with high chemical ... -
Conversion of a mixture of date palm wastes to mesoporous activated carbon for efficient dye adsorption
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2023 , Article)In this study, we aimed to develop mixture activated carbon (MAC) from a mixture of date palm wastes (petiole, rachis and fiber) through hydrothermal carbonization and microwave-assisted H3PO4 activation and evaluate its ... -
Developing pretreatment methods to promote the production of biopolymer and bioethanol from residual algal biomass (RAB)
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)This study investigates the effect of acidic pretreatment (HT-ACPT), enzymatic pretreatment (ENZ-PT), and microwave laser-hydrogen peroxide-Fe-nanoparticle pretreatment (Mv-H2O2-Fe-PT) on the production of bioethanol ... -
Dual functional materials capable of integrating adsorption and Fenton-based oxidation processes for highly efficient removal of pharmaceutical contaminants
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Pharmaceutical contaminants have shown widespread presence in water/wastewater threatening environmental and human health. Existing literature shows that adsorption can efficiently bind pharmaceuticals preventing their ... -
Effect of Hydrothermal Carbonization Parameters and Performance of Carbon Dioxide Adsorption on Pineapple Peel Waste Biochar
( Wiley-Blackwell , 2022 , Article)Low-cost biochar adsorbents were prepared from pineapple peel waste (PPW) via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) for CO2 capture. The effects of hydrothermal carbonization temperature, retention time, and heating rate were ... -
Fenton oxidation for soil remediation: A critical review of observations in historically contaminated soils
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article Review)Fenton-based treatments have received tremendous attention in recent decades as viable strategies for soil decontamination. Historically contaminated soils are characterized by particular contamination types, pollution ... -
Hydrothermal Conversion of Food Waste to Carbonaceous Solid Fuel—A Review of Recent Developments

Intermediate Pyrolysis of Desert Date Shell for Conversion to High-Quality Biomaterial Resources
( Wiley-Blackwell , 2022 , Article)Intermediate pyrolysis on desert date (Balanites aegyptiacus) shell (BAS) was accomplished for the first time to authenticate the biomass potential for producing quality biomaterials such as bio-oil and biochar. Fourier ... -
A mini review of recent progress in the removal of emerging contaminants from pharmaceutical waste using various adsorbents
( Springer , 2022 , Article)The presence of emerging contaminants (ECs) originating from pharmaceutical waste in water, wastewater, and marine ecosystems at various geographical locations has been clearly publicised. This review paper presents an ... -
Physicochemical properties and combustion kinetics of food waste derived hydrochars
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)In this work, simulated food waste (15% white bread, 15% palm dates (without seeds), 5% boiled egg (without shells), 20% spent tea leaves, 20% spent coffee ground, and 25% banana peel in parts weight) was subjected to ... -
Pyrolysis Kinetics of Oil-Palm Solid Waste
( Qatar University , 2005 , Article)Pyrolysis of oil-palm shells, a cheap and abundantly available solid waste from palm oil producing process, was carried out using thermogravimetric analysis. The effect of heating rates (10,15,20 and 25°C/min) on the kinetic ... -
