The past 20 years has seen rapid development of value-added food products. Using largely
wasted fruit by-products has created a potential for sustainable use of these edible …

Biosorption is a simplistic and budgetary method and has been broadly examined for
wastewater treatment. More recent studies on the biosorption of rare earth elements (REEs) …

Recovery of rare earth elements (REE) from acid mine drainage (AMD) could be an
alternative to their conventional mining, given that REE are relatively highly concentrated in …

There is an abundant body of literature surrounding the use of agricultural wastes for the
adsorption of pollutants from aqueous solutions. This area of research is often considered as …

The direct discharge of untreated contaminants into global water systems has jeopardized
our water security worldwide. This environmental concern has prompted scientists to …

Cerium is a rare earth element (REE) that stands out as an essential component in many
high-tech applications. As its demand has increased in recent years, it is necessary to …

The current toxicity concerns of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) have birthed the
need to regulate and, sometimes restrict its clinical administration. However, tolerable …

Phosphonic acid functionalization of gellan gum and chitosan biopolymers was successfully
performed. In the first step, the sorption was investigated using La (III) ions before testing for …

The development of stable and inexpensive adsorbents for La (III) recovery from wastewater
is of great importance for rare earth industries. In this work, two novel N-rich covalent organic …

Acid mine drainage is the reaction of surface water with sub-surface water located on sulfur
bearing rocks, resulting in sulfuric acid. These highly acidic conditions result in leaching of …
