Edible packaging is a sustainable product and technology that uses one kind of “food”(an
edible material) to package another kind of food (a packaged product), and organically …

The use of aerogels to selectively recover oil from oily wastewater is effective but
challenging. In this study, a new carboxylated carbon nanotube/chitosan aerogel …

The development of adsorbents with outstanding adsorption capacities, wide versatility, and
excellent recyclability for the removal of organic dyes remains a challenge. In this study, a …

A novel sugarcane bagasse–bentonite/sodium alginate (SCB–Ben/SA) composite aerogel
was prepared as an effective green adsorbent via blending–cross-linking for the removal of …

Melanoidins are hazardous dark-coloured substances contained in molasses-based
distillery wastewater. Adsorption is an effective approach to eliminate melanoidins from …

The generation of electricity through the natural process of water evaporation has emerged
as a promising method of energy conversion. However, many advanced generators utilizing …

Large quantities of organic dyes are discharged into the environment, causing serious
damage to the ecosystem. Therefore, it is urgent to develop inexpensive adsorbents to …

Activated-hydrochar (AHC) derived from sugarcane bagasse was synthesized by
hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) using phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as …

Phosphorus is a critical factor in the control of eutrophication. We developed a three-
dimensional porous, bimetallic-modified adsorbent La-Ca-CS/ATP to remove excess …

In this study, novel green in situ quaternary-ammonium-functionalized magnetic chitosan
microspheres (IQMCM) were synthesised. The resulting adsorbent was characterised by …
