Dissolved uranium in groundwater at high concentrations is an emerging global threat to
human and ecological health due to its radioactivity and chemical toxicity. Uranium can …

Uranium in seawater could be one of the most persistent sources of energy that can meet
the world's energy needs for nearly 1000 years; however, significant challenges remain in …

In this work, a human hair-derived high surface area porous carbon material (HHC) was
prepared using potassium hydroxide activation. The morphology and textural properties of …

In uranium bioremediation, the response of different biological groups towards uranium are
critical. Understanding the metal–microbe interactions would provide adequate knowledge …

The state of the art of biosorption for application in precious metals recovery in recent years
is presented in the current work. Precious metals including Au, Ag, Pd, Pt, etc. have …

Removal of toxic chemicals from environmental samples with low-cost methods and
materials are very useful approach for especially large-scale applications. Green algae are …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a typical industrial microorganism, was employed as a precursor
to directly synthesize carbon microspheres. After a low temperature hydrothermal treatment …

Several treatments for the removal of toxic heavy metals like uranium from wastewater have
been developed, but none of them are sufficiently effective. Biosorption is the most feasible …

We report on the facile, reliable fabrication of novel magnetic cucurbit [6] uril/graphene oxide
(CB [6]/GO/Fe 3 O 4) composite by using an in-situ co-precipitation method, for which the …

Sorbent booms are considered a 'first line of defence'technology used for containing and
minimizing the impacts of crude oil spills. Booms containing human hair waste as sorbent …
