Effective and low-cost removal of dye and heavy metals from wastewater still is a great
challenge for researchers. Adsorption using activated carbon is widely used in removing …

The presence of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals in natural waters has
raised increasing concern due to their frequent appearance and persistence in the aquatic …

The detection of pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), known as
emerging contaminants (ECs), in the environment has attracted growing concern due to their …

Copper loaded activated carbon (Cu-AC) was prepared by impregnating it with cupric nitrate
followed by microwave heating and then used for removing dyes in wastewater. The Cu-AC …

The presence of antibiotics in water bodies has received increasing attention since they are
continuously introduced and detected in the environment and may cause unpredictable …

Fractions of dyes, that are used in large quantities for various applications, are lost during
the dying process and contaminate water. In order to avoid their harmful effect on human …

The methylene blue (MB) removal abilities of raw activated carbon and iron/cerium modified
raw activated carbon (Fe–Ce-AC) by adsorption were researched and compared. The …

Modeling of adsorption processes is vital especially in water treatment processes. To ensure
that the right adsorbent is used to remove the target pollutant in water with good efficiency, at …

Abstract Activated carbon/NiFe 2 O 4 (AC/NiFe 2 O 4) magnetic composite was synthesized
by a facile hydrothermal synthesis method. This synthetic approach involves the mixing of …

New solar-active nanocomposites free from toxic reagents or precious metals were
developed. They were prepared from natural kaolinite clay, Na 2 WO 4, titania, and biomass …
