Efficient adsorptive removal of tetracycline from aqueous solution using phytosynthesized nano-zero valent iron

Recent developments in alginate-based adsorbents for removing phosphate ions from wastewater: a review

“…28 In addition, the adsorption technique is the most popular mode of remediation due to its design versatility, 29 lack of treatment by-products, ease of service, 30 high efficacy, 31 reusability, 32 low cost, ease of operation, and insensitivity to biological materials in aqueous environments. [33][34][35][36][37][38] Numerous materials have been applied as adsorbents for the removal of phosphate, including clays, biochar, red mud, metal oxides, layered double hydroxides, cross-linked hydrophilic biopolymers, activated carbon residue, mesoporous silica spheres, lanthanum-based materials, metal-organic frameworks and nanomaterials. [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] Among these adsorbents, natural biopolymers are polymeric organic molecules derived from renewable sources such as algae, the exoskeletons of crustaceans and shells, 51 plants, microbial biomass, and animals, as depicted in Fig.…”

Statistical Optimization and Modeling Approach for Fenton‐like Discoloration of Methyl Orange using Green Zero‐valent Iron Nanoparticle Catalysts

“…Polyphenols found in biomaterials inhibit the aggregation of NZVI‐NPs [6,14–16] . The prepared NZVI‐NPs showed varying removal capacities of pollutants based on the source of the biomaterials [1,6–19] . This confirmed that environmentally friendly preparation of NZVI‐NPs and their remediation power is attaining reputation in the fields of biotechnology and require further investigation using other sources of biomaterials.…”

“…[6,[14][15][16] The prepared NZVI-NPs showed varying removal capacities of pollutants based on the source of the biomaterials. [1,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] This confirmed that environmentally friendly preparation of NZVI-NPs and their remediation power is attaining reputation in the fields of biotechnology and require further investigation using other sources of biomaterials. Date palm trees are considered one of the most abundant bio-sourced materials in the Asian region and produce a massive quantity of leaves, fronds and trunks as bio-waste materials.…”

“…The existence of life on earth revolves largely around water, which is one of the most valuable resources in human civilization. [1] Affordable access to clean water is a crucial humanitarian aim of the modern world. Both developed and developing countries alike experience the scarcity of clean water as the result of human activities, particularly the use of dyes like methyl orange (MO).…”

Novel Biogenic Synthesis of a Ag@Biochar Nanocomposite as an Antimicrobial Agent and Photocatalyst for Methylene Blue Degradation

“…There is no doubt that water is an essential resource for sustaining all forms of life, and its treatment, particularly in the industrial sectors, is a necessity to eliminate environmental and health risks. − Due to technological development and the dramatic increase in industrial activities, the environment has seriously deteriorated, especially the aquatic environment. − Toxic organic pollutants are important environmental hazards that seriously threaten both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. − Among these organic pollutants, dyes from the textiles and other industries are hazardous effluents containing toxic complex components that without appropriate treatment will severely impact the environment and cause harmful health effects including difficulties in breathing, vomiting, eye burns, allergies and contact dermatitis, and different types of cancer. , Therefore, how to effectively remediate organic pollution of the environment has become more and more challenging. , …”
