Brewers' spent grain (BSG) is the major by-product of the brewing industry, representing
around 85% of the total by-products generated. BSG is a lignocellulosic material containing …

Many algae have immense capability to sorb metals, and there is considerable potential for
using them to treat wastewaters. Metal sorption involves binding on the cell surface and to …

The use of low-cost activated carbon derived from bagasse, an agricultural waste material,
has been investigated as a replacement for the current expensive methods of removing …

Highly porous carbons have been produced through an activated pyrolysis process from
waste rice straw. The methodology avoids the use of extensive pre-treatments and utilises …

The use of low-cost adsorbents was investigated as a replacement for current costly
methods of removing metals from aqueous solution. Removal of copper (II) from aqueous …

The adsorption of lead, cadmium and nicel from aqueous solution by sawdust of walnut was
investigated. The effect of contact time, initial metal ion concentration and temperature on …

Olive stone waste generated in the olive oil production process has been investigated as
metal biosorbent for Pb (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Cd (II) from aqueous solutions for its wide …

In the present work, the usefulness of grape stalks wastes generated in the wine production
process has been investigated for the removal of copper and nickel ions from aqueous …

In recent years studies demonstrated good efficiency of lignocellulosic materials for
adsorption and removal of toxic ions from water, however many of them are related to mono …

The present study deals with the competitive adsorption of cadmium (Cd (II)) and nickel (Ni
(II)) ions onto bagasse fly ash (BFA) from single component and binary systems. BFA is a …
