Biochar and hydrochar prepared from pyrolysis and microwave-assisted hydrothermal
carbonization of Prosopis africana shell respectively were used as adsorbents for the …

Chromium is a toxic metal widely used in several industrial activities, being frequently found
in industrial effluents. The presence of chromium in its soluble ionic form Cr (III) is related to …

In the present study, we investigated the removal characteristics of phosphate and nitrate
through adsorption on boron waste (BW) and heat treated boron waste (BW400) under …

Contamination of surface water and groundwater streams with carcinogenic chemicals such
as arsenic (As) has been a major environmental issue worldwide, and requires significant …

Locally sourced clay was harnessed to study its adsorptive potential of methylene blue (MB)
in wastewater streams. The clay was modified with sulfuric acid and aluminum hydroxide …

It has always been crucial to have enough water available for survival and growth; hence it
is necessary to purify polluted water for reuse. In this study, contaminated water is cleansed …

The large capacity of wastewater production due to rapid growth of industries has resulted in
limited water resources. The need to protect and conserved water resources have enforced …

This study investigated the efficiency of rice husk carbon (RHC) for lead (Pb (II)) adsorption.
The developed RHC was characterized by CHNS analyser, FTIR and FESEM. BET surface …

In this study, soft computing models were used to predict Cu (II) adsorption on activated
Phragmites australis waste (PAC) and commercial activated carbon (CAC). The effects of …

Illite-smectite clay is a new mixed mineral of illite and montmorillonite. The ability of nano
illite/smectite clay to remove Pb (II) from slightly polluted aqueous solutions has been …
