Clay minerals and their modified derivatives have composed a large family of adsorbents
which can be used for the adsorption of most of the chemical contaminants from aqueous …

Excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers has led to increased nitrate concentrations in
groundwater that pose a threat to human health, via nitrate-contaminated potable water, and …

Phosphates in wastewater at elevated concentrations cause eutrophication of water bodies
and their removal from treated wastewater is essential before effluents are discharged to the …

Highly efficient and cost-effective adsorbents for phosphate (P) recovery are the key to
control eutrophication and recover phosphorus from waste streams to enhance food …

CaO-biochar composites were prepared by mixed ball milling and pyrolysis of agricultural
wastes eggshell and rice straw. The resulting CaO-biochar composites (EC) showed …

An analytical approach for estimation of the thermodynamic parameters from the Langmuir
isotherm constant has been introduced in the present paper. The concept of the …

This study presents the removal of phosphate from aqueous solution using a new silver
nanoparticles-loaded tea activated carbon (AgNPs-TAC) material. In order to reduce costs …

Phosphorus (P) recovery from wastewater is of great interest especially when the loaded
adsorbent can be used in the agriculture as slow-release fertilizer. The application depends …

The emergence of antibiotics in water has been globally recognized as a critical pollution
issue. Antibiotics (such as Ciprofloxacin (CPFX) pose a serious threat to humans and to the …

Elevated concentrations of nutrient in wastewater discharge can lead to severe imbalance
water-ecosystems due to eutrophication, therefore, efficient and cost-effectiveness …
