The demand for high-quality safe and clean water supply has revolutionized water treatment
technologies and become a most focused subject of environmental science. Water …

A novel strategy was presented for the synthesis and application of functionalized silica
monolithic as artificial receptor of gallic acid at micro-pipette tip. A sol–gel process was used …

Chitosan derivatives are extensively used as adsorbents for dyes and metal ions. These
materials undergo swelling after their immersion in water. The maximum adsorption …

The extremely persistent molluscicide, metaldehyde, widely used on farms and gardens, is
often detected in drinking water sources of various countries at concentrations of regulatory …

In this work, the ability of granular activated carbon (GAC) to sorb metaldehyde was
evaluated. The kinetic data could be described by an intra-particle diffusion model, which …

Abstract Magnetic nanoparticles, Fe 3 O 4@ SiO 2@ meso-SiO 2 and Fe 3 O 4@ SiO 2@
meso-SiO 2-NH 2, have been prepared and used as adsorbents for the detection of trace …

Metaldehyde is a common molluscicide, used to control slugs in agriculture and horticulture.
It is resistant to breakdown by current water treatment processes, and its accumulation in …

A modified graphene oxide-based Fenton's reaction has been investigated for the
degradation of a challenging emerging contaminant which is not effectively removed in …

Metaldehyde is a selective pesticide applied to control snails and slugs and which,
particularly when application rates are high and during periods of high rainfall, may find its …

A dual-stage method was developed to first efficaciously degrade metaldehyde into
acetaldehyde, before subsequent removal of acetaldehyde using an amine functionalized …
