“…Significant advancements in microwave instrumentation have aided in the synthesis of materials with improved reaction conditions control, producing materials with more desirable physicochemical characteristics. Commercial microwave reactors are now equipped with fiber-optic probes, magnetic stirrers, and sensors for more precise monitoring of the synthesis conditions, resulting in an enhanced reaction yield with higher reproducibility (Favretto, 2003;Ferguson, 2003;Luo et al, 2013b;Dudley et al, 2015), lower energy requirements, and shorter reaction times, among others (Figure 12). However, pressure sensitivity and thresholds (typically lower than 400 psi), and penetration depth limitations are one of the main drawbacks of microwave-assisted synthesis (Antonio De La et al, 2011;de Medeiros et al, 2019).…”

Carbon-based nanomaterials have drawn significant interest as desirable nanomaterials and composites for the adsorptive removal of various classes of pollutants from water owing to their versatile physicochemical properties. The underlying sorption mechanisms serve as the bedrock for the development of carbonaceous adsorbents for various target pollutants. Microwave-assisted synthesis can be regarded as a recent and well-advanced technique for the development of carbon-based nanomaterials, and the use of biobased materials/wastes/residues conforms with the concept of green and sustainable chemistry. For advancements in carbon-based functional nanomaterials and their industrial/field applications, it is essential to fully comprehend the sorption performance and the selective/non-selective interaction processes between the contaminants and sorbents. In this regard, research on the development of carbon-based nanomaterials for the adsorption of chemical contaminants, both organic and inorganic, in water has made considerable strides as discussed in this review. However, there are still several fundamental hurdles associated with microwave-assisted chemical synthesis and commercial/industrial scale-up applications in nano-remediation. The challenges, benefits, and prospects for further research and development of carbon-based nanomaterials/nanocomposites for the purification of water are also discussed.

“…Sample preparation is an important step in chemical analysis, particularly for trace-level analyte detection, as it can minimize or eliminate matrix interferences, leading to increased sensitivity . Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) , is a commonly used technique for preconcentrating target analytes from complex sample matrixes and has been widely applied in environmental monitoring, food, and pharmaceutical analysis . It involves exposing a sorbent-coated fiber to the sample, followed by thermal or solvent desorption.…”

The sources, ecotoxicological impact, and potential remediation strategies of antiretroviral drugs (ARVDs) as emerging contaminants in surface waters are reviewed in this report based on recent literature. The occurrence of ARVDs in water bodies raises concern because many communities in Africa depend on rivers for water resources. Southern Africa is a potential hotspot regarding ARVD contamination due to relatively high therapeutic application and detection thereof in water bodies.Efavirenz and nevirapine are the most persistent in effluents and prevalent in surface water based on environmental concentrations. While the highest concentration of efavirenz reported in Kenya was 12.4 µg L -1 , concentrations as high as 119 µg L -1 and
