Heavy metal contamination is a growing concern in the develo** world. Inadequate water
and wastewater treatment, coupled with increased industrial activity, have led to increased …

Hazardous contamination of water is a major hurdle in the provision of usable and drinkable
water to the world. Innovative, economic, renewable and environment friendly technologies …

The use of a cheap and effective adsorption approach based on biomass-activated carbon
(AC) to remediate heavy metal contamination is clearly desirable for develo** countries …

Environmental pollution has been determined to be the root cause of a large number of
deaths and illnesses around the world. Heavy metals in wastewater have been a major …

This study researched the use of the easily obtainable and economic agricultural waste of
corn silk (CS) for removal of Reactive Blue 19 (RB19) and Reactive Red 218 (RR218) dyes …

Rice husk is an attractive bio-based adsorbent material for pollutant removal since it is one
of the low-cost and renewable resources. The objective of this review is to give a summary of …

Adsorption by activated carbon has great potential to improve natural organic matter (NOM)
removal from water. However, the high production and regeneration costs limit its wide scale …

This study investigates the adsorption potential of natural materials waste. The biosorbent
used is an untreated pomegranate peel (PGP) derived from local agricultural activities to …

In the present work, a new low-cost activated carbon was prepared from paper mill sludge in
order to remove Cr (VI) ions from aqueous solution. The effects of adsorbent dosage, pH …

This review summarizes the progress made, in the field of low-cost biosorption of heavy
metal ions, over the past few years. It gives a comprehensive summary of the synthesis …
