Biochars are obtained by biomass pyrolysis, whereas activated carbon is a biochar that has
undergone chemical or physical activation. Owing to the large surface area and easy …

The quality and quantity of natural organic matter (NOM) has been observed to evolve which
poses challenges to water treatment facilities. Even though NOM may not be toxic itself, its …

Microplastics and antibiotics are two classes of emerging contaminants with proposed
negative impacts to aqueous ecosystems. Adsorption of antibiotics on microplastics may …

This paper examines the adsorption of Pb (II) and a natural organic macromolecular
compound (humic acid, HA) on polyacrylamide (PAAM)-grafted multiwalled carbon …

Humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) are the prime components of natural organic matter
(NOM) and can cause several problems in potable water such as odor, taste, and color …

The adsorption of Escherichia coli on different activated carbons has been studied. The
activated carbon samples used have been characterized, determining their surface area …

The present study aimed to analyze the behavior of different activated carbons in the
adsorption and removal of bisphenol A (2− 2-bis-4-hydroxypheniyl propane) from aqueous …

In this study, citric acid was used to modify a commercially available activated carbon to
improve copper ion adsorption from aqueous solutions. The carbon was modified with 1.0 M …

Multiple chemical forms of nitrogen in urban stormwater make its management challenging.
Sixteen storm events were monitored and analyzed for total nitrogen (TN), particulate …

Microplastics are emerging contaminants and widely distributed in the environment. They
are considered as a vector of numerous organic pollutants including antibiotics in aquatic …
