(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Water pollution is a growing issue which requires various treatment technologies for efficient and effective remediation. Adsorption is one of the dominant wastewater treatment technologies due to its flexible operation ...
Simultaneous removal of Congo red and cadmium (II) from aqueous solutions using graphene oxide–silica composite as a multifunctional adsorbent
(
Chinese Academy of Sciences
, 2020 , Article)
Graphene oxide is a very high capacity adsorbent due to its functional groups and π−π interactions with other compounds. Adsorption capacity of graphene oxide, however, can be further enhanced by having synergistic effects ...
Microwave-assisted conversion of palm kernel shell biomass waste to photoluminescent carbon dots
(
scientific reports
, 2020 , Article)
In the present work, palm kernel shell (PKS) biomass waste has been used as a low-cost and easily available precursor to prepare carbon dots (CDs) via microwave irradiation method. The impacts of the reacting medium: water ...
