Microwave Enhanced Synthesis of Sulfonated Chitosan-Montmorillonite for Effective Removal of Methylene Blue
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, sulfonated chitosan montmorillonite composite (S-CS-MT) beads were synthesized using a microwave irradiation method designed to have a better saving-time procedure. The potency of S-CS-MT as an adsorbent was ...
Encapsulated biochar-based sustained release fertilizer for precision agriculture: A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article Review)
The excessive use of conventional fertilizers leads to environmental issues associated with the loss of nutrient through leaching, volatilization, denitrification and surface run-off. Biochar-based fertilizer has gained ...
Insight into the chemically modified crop straw adsorbents for the enhanced removal of water contaminants: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article Review)
Crop straws represent the major part of lignocellulosic wastes that mainly consist of three polymeric components, namely cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. These straws gain great attention owing to their low cost, ...
Nonenzymatic Electrochemical Sensor Based on CuO-MgO Composite for Dopamine Detection
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
Dopamine plays an essential role in the proper functioning of the brain and the body. A change in the level of dopamine can lead to disorders related to the nervous system. Thus, detection of dopamine levels may aid in the ...
Desorption of chloramphenicol from ordered mesoporous carbon-alginate beads: Effects of operating parameters, and isotherm, kinetics, and regeneration studies
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
This study has investigated the desorption of an emerging contaminant, known as chloramphenicol (CPC), from ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC)-alginate beads. The effects of initial concentration, operating temperature, and ...
Lithium loaded coal fly ash as sustainable and effective catalyst for the synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Coal fly ash (CFA) has been employed as a catalytic support for lithium ions by impregnation. The basicity, basic strength, and stability of the resultant catalyst were further tuned by varying active species concentration ...
Co-hydrothermal carbonization of different feedstocks to hydrochar as potential energy for the future world: A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Co-hydrothermal carbonization (co-HTC) has emerged recently as a promising thermochemical technique that can transfer organic solid residue (e.g., biomass, sewage sludge, plastic, livestock manure) into value-added products ...
A review on microwave-assisted synthesis of adsorbents and its application in the removal of water pollutants
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article Review)
The use of conventional heating techniques in adsorbents preparation involves long synthesis time, high energy consumption, high cost and material fast firing. Recently, Microwave heating technique has been used to replace ...
Dark-Fenton oxidative degradation of methylene blue and acid blue 29 dyes using sulfuric acid-activated slag of the steel-making process
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
The pollution of water by effluents from dye industries is a widely established environmental and health problem that requires new insights and urgent attention. In this study, methylene blue (MB) and acid blue 29 (AB29) ...
