Background The use of fertilizers in modern agriculture and the expansion of
industrialization are severely raising heavy metals (HMs) contamination in aquatic …

Nanomaterial adsorbents are highly favorable for heavy metal removal due to their large
specific surface areas with enhanced active sites for contaminant adsorption. This paper …

Given their numerous remarkable properties such as chemical stability, high surface areas,
and well-organized porous systems, zeolites have long been explored in a variety of …

Consistent use of large amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, and mulch can cause the
accumulation of harmful substances in cotton plants. Among these harmful substances …

Five adsorbents based on fly ash treated with NaOH for the adsorption of cadmium ion from
aqueous solutions were investigated. The materials were characterized using scanning …

This work aimed to investigate the performance of biosurfactant, produced by a halotolerant
bacterial strain, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PF2, for desorption of PAHs from soil, followed by …

Water pollution caused by industrial wastes containing heavy metals and dyes is a major
environmental problem. This study reports on the synthesis, characterization, and utilizations …

In this study, a natural Algerian zeolite of the mordenite type was activated and tested for
nickel adsorption in aqueous solution. Na-mordenite was characterized by different …

The most important effect of natural organic materials in water is reacting with disinfectants
and creating disinfectant by-products that are mostly carcinogenic. The aim of this study was …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of inorganic and organic substances as well
as microbial contaminants in bottled drinking water on a global scale. The findings were …
