Abstract Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) contaminations are disturbing environmental issues,
which cause serious harm to aqueous systems and human health. Therefore, removing …

Nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) supported on activated multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(MWCNTs) were used as an adsorbent applied towards Pb (II), As (V) and Cd (II) …

Biochar can remove oppositely charged ionic species of Cd (II) and As (III)/As (V) from water
but the co-adsorption mechanisms of the metal (loid) s are poorly understood. This study …

Biochar is considered to be the cost-effective, environmentally-friendly and sustainable
sorbent that has an extraordinary potential to efficiently remove toxic elements, including …
