Abstract Periodate (IO 4-) activation in environmental remediation has aroused tremendous
attention, due to its high oxidative potential for the degradation of contaminants and fair …

Selenium is an essential trace element for many organisms, including humans, but it is
bioaccumulative and toxic at higher than homeostatic levels. Both selenium deficiency and …

Natural clays are abundantly available low‐cost natural resource which is nontoxic to
ecosystem. Over the recent years, research on the modification of clay to increase their …

This work reports the selenium (Se (IV)) detection and removal from water by ligand
functionalized organic–inorganic based novel composite adsorbent. The composite …

Discharging coloring products in the natural streams has degraded water quality irreversibly
over the past several decades. Order mesoporous carbon (OMC) was modified by …

In November 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated
the Effluent Limitations Guidelines (ELGs) for the Steam Electric Power Generating Sector …

Polymer–clay composites were designed to adsorb selenium from water. The highest
adsorption efficiency was obtained for chitosan–montmorillonite composites. These …

Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) and MOFs-based composite materials have
been extensively applied to adsorb heavy metals due to their high specific surface area and …

The municipal sewage sludge was modified with iron oxide employed in metal ions removal.
The surface modification method was proposed and the effect of parameters in the …
