Although individual toxicity of microplastics (MPs) to organism has been widely studied,
limited knowledge is available on the interactions between heavy metals and MPs, as well …

Adsorption is a widely used chemical engineering unit operation for the separation and
purification of fluid streams. Typical uses of adsorption include the removal of targeted …

Magnetized activated carbons (MAC) were prepared by activating rape straw powder, and
pyrolyzing at different temperatures, then magnetizing activated carbon by hydrothermal …

Both heavy metals and microplastic pollutants are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment.
The uptake of lead (II) ions from aqueous solutions onto aged nylon microplastics was …

Microplastics (MPs) exposed to the natural environment provide an ideal surface for biofilm
formation, which potentially acts as a reactive phase facilitating the sorption of hazardous …

The removal of fluoride from wastewater is essential as the excess accumulation of fluoride
in environment is harmful to the health of humans. In this study, the defluorination of water by …

In order to deal with cadmium (Cd (II)) pollution, three modified biochar materials: alkaline
treatment of biochar (BC-NaOH), KMnO 4 impregnation of biochar (BC-MnO x) and FeCl 3 …

Despite the excellent sorption ability of biochar for heavy metals, it is difficult to separate and
reuse after adsorption when applied to wastewater treatment process. To overcome these …

Arsenic species are regarded as typical water pollutants due to their toxicity. The chemical
structures of arsenic species greatly influence their migration and transformation in the …

In this work, LDH-biochar composites were synthesized in different molar ratios of Mg: Al (2:
1, 3: 1 and 4: 1) using co-precipitation method. The composites were applied to remove an …
