ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd (II)) contamination is very harmful to the aquatic environment.
Currently, the removal of Cd (II) from water is widely studied to reduce its toxicity. In this …

Toxic cadmium (Cd) was removed from water using eggshell-based hydroxyapatite (HAp)
grafted bentonite (HAp/bentonite) composite through a straightforward chemical synthesis …

Cadmium (Cd) is a common and toxic non-essential heavy metal that must be effectively
treated to reduce its threat to the environment and public health. Adsorption with an …

In this study, bamboo waste (BW) was subjected to pyrolysis-assisted ZnCl2 activation to
produce mesoporous activated carbon (BW-AC), which was then evaluated for its ability to …
