Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous microorganisms considered as important contributors to the
formation of Earth's atmosphere and nitrogen fixation. However, they are also frequently …

Blooms of toxic cyanobacteria in water supply systems are a global issue affecting water
supplies on every major continent except Antarctica. The occurrence of toxic cyanobacteria …

In this study, the adsorption behavior of Pb (II) on natural-aged and virgin microplastics in
different electrolyte solutions was investigated. The results demonstrated that natural-aged …

Adsorption is one of the most widely used and effective wastewater treatment methods. The
role of ionic strength (IS) in shaping the adsorption performances is much necessary due to …

A simple method of magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) coupled to high performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed for the simultaneous extraction and …

This paper provides a review of recent scientific research on the removal by activated
carbon (AC) in drinking water (DW) treatment of 1) two classes of currently unregulated trace …

The polyphenolic tannic acid (TA) has been widely used in the stabilization and surface
modification of nanomaterials. The interaction mechanism of TA with the biogenic nano …

Many emerging pollutants (also known as micro-pollutants) including pesticides,
