“…Analysis of isotherm data by fitting different isotherm models is a crucial step to find an appropriate model that represents adsorbate molecules at equilibrium. Most literature reports that Langmuir and Freundlich are the most appropriate isotherm models to describe heavy metal ion adsorption by bagasse (Ezeonuegbu et al 2021;Iwuozor et al 2021a). Hence, these isotherm models give detailed information about the nature of adsorption of HMs on bagasse surface.…”

“…Such surface diffusion adsorption kinetics is governed by hydrodynamic effects such as agitation speed and fluid flow rates. It is fast and results in chemical entrapment of HMs on the bagasse functional groups (Iwuozor et al 2021a). However, the second step of adsorption kinetics assumes pore diffusion of the adsorbate into the porous adsorbent.…”

“…In contrast, slow adsorption onto residual binding sites and diffusion of heavy metals into the porous surface follows pseudo first order kinetic models (Hassan et al 2021). Most adsorption kinetics of modified and unmodified SCB for metal ion removal have been reported as pseudo first and pseudo second order kinetic models (Irawan et al 2021;Iwuozor et al 2021a). Pseudo first order kinetics assumes that the adsorption kinetics is directly proportional to the available number of unoccupied sites and governed by a physical adsorption process that is diffusion-controlled; this can occur at high concentration of pollutant dose after all the chemically active adsorption sites are occupied (Shah et al 2019).…”

“…Currently several robust and sophisticated technologies are utilized for heavy metals removal from wastewater such as ion exchange, reverse osmosis, chemical precipitation, electrocoagulation, electro-dialysis and adsorption (Harripersadth et al 2020;Iwuozor et al 2021a;Hamad & Idrus 2022). However, the aforementioned treatment methods are challenged by high initial costs, membrane fouling and high sludge production.…”

Heavy metals pollution of both surface and groundwater sources of Sub-Saharan Africa is alarmingly increased due to unplanned urban populations. Inadequate policies for water management, political commitment, and financial resources forced 65% of rural communities of Sub-Saharan Africa to live in economic water stress areas. Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) shows high heavy metals (HMs) adsorption capacity (20–700 mg/g) through chemical entrapments to carbon-oxygen containing functional group and interior pore filling of porous surface. Various modifications like a physical/thermal, chemical, and composite form of bagasse show better adsorption performance for HMs removal. Kinetic and isotherm studies of HMs adsorption equilibrium data over SCB show that both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms (cooperative adsorption) as the main adsorption mechanism. In addition, SCB shows potential bio-adsorbent properties for the selective adsorption of target HMs based on their physicochemical properties and shows good repeatability in acid environment. It is believed that information on this review will shed light on the current and future prospects of raw and modified SCB for HMs adsorption removal capacity. Sugarcane bagasse shows a remarkable selectivity for HMs adsorption removals based on their physicochemical properties and shows good potential capability for future utilizations in real wastewaters of developing countries.

“…Water quality and waste management are two of contemporary society's most fundamental tenets [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Agricultural, household, and industrial activities consume more than one-third of the world's available fresh water sources [10][11][12][13]. Due to population growth, water availability was reduced to 3300 cubic meters in 1960 and to 1250 cubic meters in 1995.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate comparatively the effects of different brands of corrugated roofing sheets on rainwater utilized within Awka metropolis. Different physicochemical parameters were assessed in the rain water harvested using established standard laboratory procedures. The rain water was harvested directly (control) and also collected after passing through the different brands of corrugated roofing sheets (samples). The results showed no appreciable effects on the physical appearance, observable odour, or taste of the water samples compared to the control sample. However, at 30 °C, there were minor changes in the pH. The amount of suspended solids (SS) in mg/100ml, total solids (TS), and total dissolved solids (TDS) found in each of the samples, including the control sample, did not vary. This showed that the corrugated roofing sheet has no significant effect on the SS, TS, and TDS of the rain water harvested within the study area. Iron, zinc, and chloride ions followed a similar trend as SS, with Fe and Zn occurring at non-detectable limits of the instrumentation, while the levels of Cl-ion (3mg/100ml) did not vary in all the samples, including the control sample. The results revealed that corrugated roofing sheets affect the total alkalinity and methyl orange alkalinity of the harvested rain water in the study area greatly but had no impact on their physical appearance.

The advantages that plastic‐based composites provide over epoxy‐based composites have catalyzed interest in the former in recent years. Polystyrene, a common packaging plastic, has been used for the production of composites. However, its hydrophilicity and curing duration are issues that undermine its commercialization. In this study, two fillers, calcined cow bone and kaolin, were introduced into a polystyrene resin matrix in varying concentrations through the hand lay‐up method. The composites were thermally cured at a temperature of 200°C for 3 h, after which they were characterized for their thermal and microstructural properties. DSC analysis revealed that the presence of kaolin improved the thermal property of the composite more than cow bone. The FTIR results revealed that the filler(s) were incorporated into the matrix via chemical reactions, as evidenced by bond breakage and formation. EDX results confirmed the incorporation of the fillers, with carbon being the most dominant element in the composites. It showed that the cow bone introduced elements such as phosphorus and calcium, while the kaolin introduced elements such as silicon and aluminum to the composite. SEM micrographs showed the presence of good interfacial adhesion between the filler(s) and the matrix. This study has shown that thermal curing is a viable solution to the shortcomings of polystyrene‐based composites and their commercialization.
