Access to drinkable water is becoming more and more challenging due to worldwide
pollution and the cost of water treatments. Water and wastewater treatment by adsorption on …

The adsorption of toxic matters from water using zeolites has been developed due to the low
cost of operation and adsorbent. However, their use due to the lower efficiency of natural …

The presence of pharmaceuticals in ecosystems is a major health issue, calling for
advanced methods to clean wastewater before effluents reach rivers. Here, we review …

Thermal pyrolysis synthesized activated biochar from the Pinus elliottii sawdust (PS) at 600°
C. The obtained activated biochar (PB600) was used for the removal of three diphenols …

Zeolites are an emerging class of crystalline, nanoporous, inorganic material with regular
micropores and highly tunable functionalities. Zeolites have been proposed as ideal …

In the adsorption process, the surface area, pore and particle size distribution and the
chemical structure of the solid and the type of adsorbent are of vital importance. Activated …

Contamination of pharmaceutically active ingredients (PhACs) in water has attracted the
attention of the scientific community. Magnetic powdery acrylic polymer (MPAP) was …

In this work, jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora) fruit peels were pyrolyzed in the presence of zinc
chloride to generate a novel porous adsorbent to remove naproxen (NPX) from aqueous …

Biochar and magnetic biochar prepared from chrysanthemum waste of the beverage
industry are effective adsorbents for the removal of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug …

To remove ibuprofen (IBP) in water efficiently and economically, plane tree leaf-derived
biochar (P-BC) as a new adsorbent was prepared via pyrolysis at 600° C. Textural …
