Chemical and thermochemical transformations were performed on orange peel to obtain
materials that were characterized and further tested to explore their potential as adsorbents …

Potato peel (PP) waste are generated in huge quantities, causing environmental pollution
and health problems. Therefore, obtaining value-added products from PP is a current …

In this study, adsorbent materials were prepared from sugarcane bagasse and modified with
thermal treatment and chemical activation through activating agents (ZnCl 2 and H 3 PO 4) …

Thousands of tons of residual lignocellulosic biomass are produced and discarded by
agroindustries in the Amazon. These biomasses could be harnessed and used in the …

Pollution by dyes and heavy metals is one of the main concerns at the environmental level
due to their toxicity and inefficient elimination by traditional water treatment. Orange peel …

This study introduces calcined water hyacinth (CWH), processed at 650° C, as a novel and
environmentally friendly adsorbent for phosphorus (P) removal from wastewater. Building on …

The aim of this research was to determine the efficiency of activated carbon obtained from
coconut (Cocos nucifera) endocarp in the reduction of color in runoff water to improve its …

In this chapter, we concentrate on the study of Cd2+ adsorption from both experimental and
computational sides. The adsorption mechanisms of Cd2+ on biochar remain an enigmatic …

No âmbito industrial há uma crescente preocupação com o setor têxtil, em especial com os
efluentes gerados por ele, em virtude de seu potencial como fonte de contaminação de …

This work reports the production of an adsorbent material obtained by H3PO4 chemical
activation of oil palm waste (fiber). The experiments were carried out to explore methylene …
