Over the past few decades, the world is facing critical water supply problems caused by the
relentless increase of global human populations and the associated rise of anthropogenic …

This research investigates the use of biochar modified with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)
as an adsorbent for heavy metal removal and evaluates the impact of competing ions and …

Concrete fines are byproducts produced from aggregate recycling. Because of their
properties, they cannot be directly recycled for use in concrete manufacturing, which is …

Abstract Adsorbing phosphate (PO 4− 3) from aqueous solutions onto concrete-based
construction waste represents a low-cost, nontoxic, and sustainable technique. The novelty …

Using biochar as a partial replacement of Portland cement in cementitious materials is a
promising solution to mitigate negative environmental impacts. However, current studies in …

The combined action of biochar and CSH (calcium-silicate-hydrate) in the cement mortars as
adsorbents was explored for treating heavy metals from water. The biochar admixture …

Removing phosphorus and endocrine-disruptors (EDC) is still challenging for low-cost
sewage treatment systems. This study investigated the efficiency of three vertical-flow …

Exploring effective uses of waste concrete powder (WCP), produced from recycling of
construction & demolition waste is beneficial to the environment and sustainable …

Municipal and industrial wastewaters are serious threats for surface water and groundwater
resources, and this threat can be converted to an opportunity by enhancing their quality …

This study investigated the simultaneous removal of Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ from wastewater using
commercially available Japanese zeolite (JPZ) and its mixtures. A series of batch adsorption …
