Okoye, Patrick U.; Longoria, Adriana; Sebastian, P. J.; Wang, Song; Li, Sanxi; Hameed, B.H.... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article Review)The increasing demand for biodiesel (BD) as a renewable and sustainable energy source has impelled the generation of abundant and low-cost byproduct glycerol, which accounts for 10 wt% of total BD production and requires ... -
Natural and Low-Cost P. turgidum for Efficient Adsorption of Hg(II) Ions from Contaminated Solution: Isotherms and Kinetics Studies
Hashem, A.; Sanousy, M.A.; Mohamed,Latifa A.; Okoye, Patrick U.; Hameed, B.H. ( 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, ... -
