The use of biologically activated carbon (BAC) in drinking water purification is reviewed. In
the past BAC is seen mostly as a polishing treatment. However, BAC has the potential to …

This work is a systematic review of the literature over the past decade of the application of
activated carbon (microporous or mesoporous) as adsorbents for the removal of heavy …

Geopolymers are a class of synthesized amorphous aluminosilicate materials that can be
used as an adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals. In this paper, the bentonite clay was …

The detection and removal of lead (Pb (II)) ions in water is essential for both human health
and the natural environment. This study reported the feasibility of the large-pore diameter …

The present communication addresses the removal of toxic lead, cadmium, and arsenic
using iron oxide modified clay-activated carbon composite beads from aqueous solutions …

In this study, the effects of acid activation with high bentonite contents under mild synthetic
conditions on textural and structural properties were explored. The alteration features after …

In this study, we improved the surface quality of synthetic hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3) iron oxide
coated sand (HIOCS) and its adsorption and desorption capabilities for copper ions in …

To overcome the limits of graphene oxide (GO) as a novel sorbent for heavy metal removal
(eg, low sorption selectivity and difficulty in solid-liquid separation), a nanocomposite …

A new hybrid adsorbent, hydrous manganese dioxide-poly (N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide/2-
hydroxyethyl acrylate)(HMO-P (HMAm/HEA)) hydrogel, was fabricated by supporting …

The present study deals with the preparation and characterization of mesoporous synthetic
hectorite (MSH) clay which further encapsulated with Na-alginate for the preparation of …
