Several physicochemical techniques have been widely studied for heavy metals removal
despite most of them are associated with challenges of higher cost, accessibility, and …

This study investigates a low-cost and economical raw and heat-treated clay sample as a
potential adsorbent for a higher uptake of Cu (II), Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions from aqueous …

Natural mineral clays were extracted from the Syahkalahan mine and used as adsorbent
matrices with the aim of removing lead ions (Pb) from drinking water. In this study, the …

The exponential increment in world population, recent industrialization, civilization,
agricultural and household activities leads to greater levels of water pollution in terms of …

Copper is toxic and is considered as the hazardous pollutant due to his stability in the
environment. Current technologies used for its removal involve materials which can be …

Adsorption has been proved to be the best process of water treatment because of its
significant advantages. Clays and their minerals are abundant and cheap material …

Due to rapid industrialization, urbanization, and surge in modern human activities, water
contamination is a major threat to humanity globally. Contaminants ranging from organic …

A novel hydroxyapatite-bentonite clay-nanocellulose (CHA-BENT-NCC) composite material
was successfully prepared as adsorbent for the removal of Ni 2+, Cd 2+ and PO 4 3− from …

The decontamination of heavy metals present in aquatic bodies is a significant challenge
that requires urgent attention. Analytical methods such as BET, XRF, SEM-EDX, and XRD …
