Over the years, the production of waste ash from many sources (eg coal, biomass, industrial,
animal, and municipal solid waste) and from conventional and renewable energy …

Extreme utilization of pesticides for agricultural purposes increases the level of pesticide
content in water. Seasonal use of pesticides can cause increased concentrations at potable …

Rice husk, which is a relatively abundant and inexpensive material, is currently being
investigated as an adsorbent for the removal of various pollutants from water and …

The residues of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) have been widely detected in rivers,
the gulf, and even groundwater and drinking water, which may pose a serious threat to …

One of the most serious environmental problems is the existence of hazardous and toxic
pollutants in industrial wastewaters. The major hindrance is the simultaneous existence of …

Coal fly ash (CFA), a by-product of coal combustion has been regarded as a problematic
solid waste, mainly due to its potentially toxic trace elements, PTEs (eg Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb) and …

Synthesis of chitosan–ZnO nanoparticles (CS–ZnONPs) composite beads was performed by
a polymer-based method. The resulting bionanocomposite was characterized by scanning …

Constructed wetlands (CWs) are increasingly popular as an efficient and economical
alternative to conventional wastewater treatment processes for removal, among other …

There is an emerging interest in the development of biomaterial-based nanoparticles.
Recent studies have shown that starch nanoparticles (SNP's) could be prepared from starch …

In this review article, the use of various low-cost adsorbents for the removal of pesticides
from water and wastewater has been reviewed. Pesticides may appear as pollutants in …
