Hospitals played vital role in the maintenance and sustenance of human health. However,
hospital activities generate high volume of toxic solid and liquid containing diverse …

The intensification of industrial activities significantly increases the distribution of toxic
substances and other non-biodegradable pollutants from industrial wastewater to the …

Lignin has been employed as a precursor to synthesize activated carbons with the aim of
lignin-biomass revalorization. The properties of these activated carbons were compared …

Herein, a high-performance porous biochar described as PBC KOH was successfully
synthesized by two-step pyrolysis of corn straw with chemical activation of KOH, and was …

The use of nonlinear fitting of data of isotherm and kinetics is becoming more frequently
used in the adsorption literature since the authors are becoming convinced that the use of …

Preparing sustainable and highly efficient biochars as adsorbents remains a challenge for
organic pollutant management. Herein, a novel nitrogen-doped carbon material has been …

In the literature, the linear form of the pseudo-first-order (PFO) and pseudo-second-order
(PSO) models are often applied for fitting the data of adsorption kinetics. Many authors have …

The objective of this study is to transform chitosan biopolymer by crosslinking with barbituric
acid into an amine-rich product that could be applied as a water treatment agent. Chitosan …

The worldwide development of agriculture and industry has resulted in contamination of
water bodies by pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other xenobiotics. Even at trace levels of …

Preparing sustainable and highly efficient biomass-based carbon materials (BBPM) as
adsorbents remains a challenge for organic pollutant management. In this work, novel …
