Microplastics (MPs) are a type of contaminants produced during the use and disposal of
plastic products, which are ubiquitous in our lives. With the high specific surface area and …

The exploration of effective natural coagulant materials has never been ceased despite the
superiority of synthetic and metallic coagulants. Numerous research outputs have been …

The increasing water pollution caused by the presence of nano-and microplastics has
shown a need to pursue solutions to remediate this problem. In this work, an extracellular …

In this study, a novel bacterium Pseudomonas sp. XD-3 with bioflocculant-producing
capability was identified and characterized. Strain XD-3 produced two kinds of flocculating …

Biolocculants are gaining attention in research due to their environmental friendliness and
innocuousness to human in comparison to the conventional flocculants. The present study …

The ability of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) recovered from aerobic granular
sludge (AGS) to act as bioflocculant was tested in a pilot-scale sequencing batch reactor …

Naturally present aquatic microorganisms play an important role in water purification
systems, such as the self-purification of surface waters. In this study, two water sources …

Four strains of bioflocculant-producing bacteria were isolated from a palm oil mill effluent
(POME). The four bacterial strains were identified as Pseudomonas alcaliphila (B1) …

Fracturing flowback fluids (FFFs), which is generated from the process of oil and gas
exploitation, is one of the major environmental concerns. In this study, a bacterial strain …

Microbial flocculants are macromolecular substances produced by microorganisms. Due to
its non-toxic, harmless, and biodegradable advantages, microbial flocculants have been …
