Environmental pollution, particularly from heavy metal ions in the wastewater, is one of the
most serious concerns of the world. In the pursuit of remedial action, various conventional …

The use of a cheap and effective adsorption approach based on biomass-activated carbon
(AC) to remediate heavy metal contamination is clearly desirable for developing countries …

Activated carbon has been an ideal material for the separation of a variety of chemical
pollutants. Its extensive use is limited due to the cost of production, which has triggered the …

In recent decades, increased domestic, agricultural and industrial activities worldwide have
led to the release of various pollutants, such as toxic heavy metals, inorganic anions …

Abstract Copper (Cu 2+) containing wastewaters are extensively released from different
industries and its excessive entry into food chains results in serious health impairments …

With the onset of industrialization mankind has witnessed various environmental issues in
the society. This industrialization has not only brought development and prosperity but …

The application of low-cost adsorbents obtained from plant wastes as a replacement for
costly conventional methods of removing heavy metal ions from wastewater has been …

Chemical activation is known to induce specific surface features of porosity and functionality
which play a definite role in enhancing the adsorptive potential of the developed activated …

The present study proposed the use of meranti sawdust in the removal of Cu (II), Cr (III), Ni
(II) and Pb (II) ions from synthetic aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption studies showed that …

Water pollution due to increase in population and high rates of wastewater generation have
become serious concerns since the last few decades. Heavy metals are amongst the main …
