Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the wastewater produced during the palm oil sterilization
process, which contains substantial amounts of nutrients and phosphorous that are harmful …

Heavy metals contamination has become a global issue of concern due to their higher
toxicities, nature of non-biodegradability, high capabilities in bioaccumulation in human …

The production of functional nanostructured materials starting from cheap natural precursors
using environmentally friendly processes is a highly attractive subject in material chemistry …

In modern society, an increasing number of hazardous organic compounds are being
discharged into the environment. Most are degraded or detoxificated by physical, chemical …

Heavy metals, depending on their oxidation states, can be highly reactive and, as a
consequence, toxic to most organisms. They are produced by an expanding variety of …

The marine algae Sargassum sp., Padina sp., Ulva sp., and Gracillaria sp., harvested locally,
were investigated for their biosorption performance in the removal of lead, copper, cadmium …

The individual and competitive adsorption capacities of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ by nitric acid
treated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were studied. The maximum sorption …

Graphene oxide (GO) can be aggregated by Cu2+ in aqueous solution with a huge Cu2+
absorption capacity. The Cu2+ causes GO sheets to be folded and also to form large …

Sorption capacity of six different algae (green, red and brown) was evaluated in the recovery
of cadmium, nickel, zinc, copper and lead from aqueous solutions. The optimum sorption …
