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, ...
Insight into the co-pyrolysis of different blended feedstocks to biochar for the adsorption of organic and inorganic pollutants: A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article Review)
Co-pyrolysis of blended feedstocks has received increasing attention due to its significant role in avoiding the weakness of products made from normal pyrolysis of individual feedstocks. Many studies have shown that ...
Electrofuels as emerging new green alternative fuel: A review of recent literature
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article Review)
The transportation sector is a major contributor in global emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Vital measures should be taken in order to reduce the GHG, among these measures is using electrofuels. Electrofuels are produced ...
Fe-natural zeolite as highly active heterogeneous catalyst in decolorization of reactive blue 4
(
International Journal of Environmental Science and Development
, 2020 , Article)
Heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction using Fe-natural zeolite (Fe-NZ) was investigated for the decolorization of Reactive Blue 4(RB4). The effect of iron ions loading, H2O2 concentration and initial pH value were investigated. ...
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 ...
Fenton oxidation for soil remediation: A critical review of observations in historically contaminated soils
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article Review)
Fenton-based treatments have received tremendous attention in recent decades as viable strategies for soil decontamination. Historically contaminated soils are characterized by particular contamination types, pollution ...
Amino-functionalised silica-grafted molecularly imprinted polymers for chloramphenicol adsorption
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
This research investigated the liquid-phase removal of chloramphenicol (CAP), an emerging contaminant using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). CAP adsorption profiles, equilibrium, and kinetics were analysed. 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 ...
