In this literature review, the removal of heavy metals from aqueous media by an
environmentally friendly method, known as biosorption has been discussed. Biosorption can …

Rapid urbanization and industrialization have inextricably linked to water consumption and
wastewater generation. Mining resources from industrial wastewater has proved to be an …

Abstract Zinc (Zn 2+) ion is one of the most prevalent toxic metal contaminants in effluents,
and it has severe impacts on ecosystems and human health. This article examines the …

A comprehensive study on Phoenix dactylifera mediated green synthesis of ZnO, and
different content (2%, 4%, 6%, 10%) of Mn doped ZnO nanoparticles (Mn@ ZnO-NPs) were …

Locally available apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) shells classified as a waste product from fruit
processing, were alkali activated in order to develop an efficient heavy metal ions sorbent for …

This work attends to preparation and characterization of a novel multi-metal binding
biosorbent after chemical modification and desorption studies. Biomass is a combination of …

Screening a new biosorbent with low cost and high efficiency from a native plant material is
a key to the adsorption of heavy metal ions from wastewater. In this study, the potential of …

The development of distinct biochar from agricultural waste for soil and environment
remediation is valuable. Moderate pretreatment with sodium hydroxide may open the …

In this study the novel biosorbent–raw corn silk (CS) was investigated for Cu 2+ and Zn 2+
removal from aqueous solutions. The physical and chemical properties of CS were …

The corncob is an agricultural waste generated in huge quantities during corn processing. In
this paper, we tested the capacity of corncob particles for water purification by removing the …
