Abstract Heavy metal (loid)(HM) pollution of agricultural soils is a growing global
environmental concern that affects planetary health. Numerous studies have shown that soil …

Nutrient enrichment of the aquatic system promotes eutrophication, which degrades the
aesthetic and economic value of water systems. On the other hand, the global supply of …

Purposely prepared magnetic nanocomposite beads were investigated as catalysts for the
degradation of Novacron blue (NB) dye (a reactive azo dye widely used in textile industries) …

Powdered activated carbon (ACc) made from corn cobs was successfully encapsulated
using sodium alginate (ACc-(Na-Alg)). The beads were thoroughly described using …

Numerous studies have reported various approaches for synthesizing phosphate-capturing
