Diatomite chemical activation for effective adsorption of methylene blue dye from model textile wastewater
(
International Journal of Environmental Science and Development
, 2021 , Article)
Dye wastewater produced in textile industries is a warning issue that threatens the environment due to discharge into the waterway. This study reviewed the adsorption of Methylene Blue (MB), as a toxic dye, onto diatomite ...
Enhanced Removal of Diesel Oil Using New Magnetic Bentonite-Based Adsorbents Combined with Different Carbon Sources
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
In this work, new magnetic bentonite-based adsorbents combined with different carbon sources, namely, reduced graphene oxide and multiwall carbon nanotubes, were synthesized via co-precipitation method. The synthesized ...
Date pits activated carbon as an effective adsorbent for water treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Book chapter)
Water pollution is becoming increasingly evident throughout the last few decades due to several anthropogenic reasons. Mitigating the pollution effects has become a priority to conserve the already limited water resources ...
Adsorption of organic pollutants by nanomaterial-based adsorbents: An overview
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Nanomaterial-based adsorbents have garnered increasing attention in water and wastewaters treatment applications due to their attractive properties and strong adsorption capabilities for various organic compounds. The ...
Comparative study between adsorption and membrane technologies for the removal of mercury
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Mercury is one of the most detrimental by-products of industrial activities, such as mining and fossil fuel combustion. What differentiates this contaminant from other pollutants is its bioaccumulation and rapid distribution ...
Adsorption of organic water pollutants by clays and clay minerals composites: A comprehensive review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article Review)
Clays and clay minerals are inexpensive, non-toxic, and naturally occurring minerals that have been utilized in water remediation as adsorbents. However, clays and clay minerals and those modified with heat, surfactants, ...
Adsorption as a process for produced water treatment: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Produced water (PW) is a by-product of oil and gas operations, and its production is foreseen to increase in the upcoming years. Such an increase is justified by various entities through their projection of the expected ...
Adsorption of 4-Nitrophenol onto Iron Oxide Bentonite Nanocomposite: Process Optimization, Kinetics, Isotherms and Mechanism
(
