Biosorption is a variant of sorption techniques in which the sorbent is a material of biological
origin. This technique is considered to be low cost and environmentally friendly, and it can …

The adsorption process is one of the most cost-effective methods for eliminating various
types of pollutants from water. Clay minerals can be converted into biosorbents for …

Activated carbon (AC) is widely used in water treatment, however, it has some technical
disadvantages, such as its high cost and difficulty to recover. To overcome these drawbacks …

The brewing sector is a significant part of the global food industry. Breweries produce large
quantities of wastes, including wastewater and brewer's spent grains. Currently, upcycling of …

Adsorption is important for treating water and effluents containing disposed dyes, particularly
due to their intense industrial use. Extensive research in literature has focused on how to …

Biosorbents are an alternative pollutant adsorbent, usually sourced from waste biomass and
requiring little to no treatment. This makes them cheaper than conventional adsorbents. In …

Brilliant green (BG) is an important group of highly recalcitrant and toxic dyes, and removing
it from water may be a serious challenge. In this endeavor, the current state of the art in …

This study aimed at optimizing the one-step chemical activation and microwave pyrolysis of
an agro-industrial waste to obtain a microporous activated carbon (AC) with superior textural …

In this research, the use of a three-component nanocomposite of graphene oxide-methyl
methacrylate and copper (II) oxide (PMMA-GO-CuO) was investigated. The aim of …
