Enhanced copper (II) bioremediation from wastewater using nano magnetite (Fe3O4) modified biochar of Ascophyllum nodosum

Characterization of activated carbon produced from the green algae Spirogyra used as a cost-effective adsorbent for enhanced removal of copper(ii): application in industrial wastewater treatment

“…The peaks at 2 θ = 23°, 29.4957°, 36.106°, 43.3070°, 47.6271°, 57.5746°, 60.8495°, and 64.8742° correspond to (CaCO3). 19 Similar XRD results have been reported by other researchers (Abdel-Galil et al , 2015; Prashant et al , 2023). 1,19…”

“…To date, several physical, chemical, and biological treatment techniques have been suggested and have attracted the attention of researchers to effectively remove heavy metal ions from wastewater using methods such as electrocoagulation, electrochemical, 17 membrane filtration, ion exchange, chemical precipitation, 18 solvent extraction, reverse osmosis 19 and adsorption. Unfortunately, these methods have certain drawbacks related to low removal efficiency, high costs, reuse difficulties, high-energy requirements, expensive equipment, and low selectivity.…”

“…Unfortunately, these methods have certain drawbacks related to low removal efficiency, high costs, reuse difficulties, high-energy requirements, expensive equipment, and low selectivity. 13,19 In this context, recent studies have made additional efforts and are focused on novel and low-cost techniques to address copper contamination by taking all of the above into consideration. Adsorption has been reported and is preferred as a convincing and alternative process due to its facility, high efficiency, selectivity, low cost and environmentally friendly nature.…”

Removal of typical pollutant ciprofloxacin using iron–nitrogen co-doped modified corncob in the presence of hydrogen peroxide

“…26 In addition, the application of pristine biochar in advanced oxidation systems is limited because of poor types of functional groups. 27 In recent years, various modification methods were used to modify materials. It showed that nitrogen-doping can effectively improve the function of electrical conductivity of the carbon matrix and the activity of catalyst can also be improved.…”
