( 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 ... -
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 ... -
Techno-economic assessment of waste mandarin biochar as a green adsorbent for binary dye wastewater effluents of methylene blue and basic fuchsin: Lab- and large-scale investigations
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Treating polluted wastewater effluents on a large-scale requires the development of high performance and cost-effective adsorbents. The recycling of waste mandarin peels, an environmentally friendly, and copiously available ... -
Crosslinked chitosan–montmorillonite composite and its magnetized counterpart for the removal of basic fuchsin from wastewater: Parametric optimization using Box-Behnken design
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Treating wastewater polluted with organic dyestuffs is still a challenge. In that vein, facile synthesis of a structurally simple composite of chitosan with montmorillonite (CS-MMT) using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Biochar of spent coffee grounds as per se and impregnated with tio2: Promising waste-derived adsorbents for balofloxacin
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2021 , Article)Biochars (BC) of spent coffee grounds, both pristine (SCBC) and impregnated with titanium oxide (TiO2 @SCBC) were exploited as environmentally friendly and economical sorbents for the fluroquinolone antibiotic balofloxacin ... -
