Biochar is an ample source of organic carbon prepared by the thermal breakdown of
biomass. Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising precursor for biochar production, and has …

The bamboo family of plants is one of the fastest-growing species in the world. As such,
there is an abundance of bamboo residues available for exploitation, especially in southeast …

The use of biosorption as a strategy for lowering the amount of pollution caused by heavy
metals is particularly encouraging. In this investigation, a low-cost and efficient biosorbent …

Background Toxic metals such as Pb (II) and Cd (II) have thrown great threat to human
health. Adsorption has been drawn more attention due to its low-cost, easy process and …

Insects are a readily available source of chitosan due to their high reproductive rates, ease
of breeding, and resistance to changes in their ecosystem. This study aimed to extract …

Background The high use of tetracycline (TC) for the prevention and treatment of diseases
has led to the formation of unknown compounds and various metabolized products of TC in …

This paper is devoted to enhancing the adsorption and photocatalytic efficiency of activated
carbon (AC) by formulating new composites with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) prepared …

Due to their higher specific area and, in most cases, higher adsorption capacity,
nanomaterials are noteworthy and attractive adsorbents. Agricultural products that are …

Algae provide an alternative, sustainable, and environmentally beneficial method of
dyetreatment. In this study, algae were successfully used to remove methylene blue (MB) …

This novel study investigated and proposes the use of Pycnanthus angolensis seed husk for
the sequestration of Pb (II) from contaminated solutions, with the aim of contributing to the …
