Mercury contamination in soil, water and air is associated with potential toxicity to humans
and ecosystems. Industrial activities such as coal combustion have led to increased mercury …

Natural macromolecules have been used to adsorb pollutants including heavy metal ions
and organic dyes due to low-cost, accessible, biodegradable, and eco-friendly advantages …

The review discusses the removal of mercury (Hg) from wastewater by advanced oxidation
processes (AOPs) and adsorption. The Hg adsorption in batch and column method was …

Novel biochar/pectin/alginate hydrogel beads (BPA) derived from grapefruit peel were
synthesized and used for Cu (II) removal from aqueous solution. FTIR, SEM-EDS, XRD, TGA …

Coal production and utilization are recognized as two principal sources of potentially toxic
elements in the environment. Here the published literature (2008–2018) was searched to …

Industrial wastewater is causing serious health problems due to presence of large
concentrations of toxic metals. Removal of these metals is still a big challenge using pristine …

Chitosan-pectin gel beads (CPBs) were synthesized via a facile and green method and
applied to remove heavy metals from aqueous solution. The structural characteristics of …

The adsorption of methylene blue (MB) in single and binary solutions were investigated on
new promising functionalized magnetic wood based activated carbon (MFMWAC), peach …

Soybean meal (SM), a byproduct of bean oil production, was recycled to develop a bio-
adhesive capable of replacing formaldehyde-based wood adhesives. However, SM's large …

In this study, a polysaccharide (CGP-BG) was successfully produced from waste distillers'
grain by Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882. Chemical analysis demonstrated that CGP …
