This work aims to use a green, economical and efficient adsorbent to remove organic matter from Tunisian industrial wet phosphoric acid (WPA: 52% P2O5). For this purpose, a natural and abundant clay is extracted from the Douiret, Tataouine deposit in southern Tunisia. This clay is being tested for the first time as an adsorbent in WPA medium. The raw clay and purified clay are analysed using standard analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and BET methods. The results show that the raw clay is a mixture of illite and kaolinite, with other mineral impurities, mainly quartz. Organic matter adsorption tests show that the purified clay exhibits greater effectiveness than raw clay. The parametric study with purified clay indicates that temperature, contact time, and clay dosage strongly influence organic matter adsorption. The highest adsorption occurs at 60 °C after 50 min, reaching 56% with 8 g of purified clay per kg of WPA. Among several recognised models, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Sips isotherm model are the most suitable for modelling the experimental data. This study suggests that Douiret clay can be considered an effective, inexpensive and environmentally friendly adsorbent for eliminating organic matter in industrial phosphoric acid.

The textile industry is considered a source of pollution because of the discharge of dye wastewater. The dye wastewater effluent has a significant impact on the aquatic environment. According to the World Bank, textile dyeing, and treatment contribute 17 to 20% of water pollution. This paper aims to prepare the bimetallic nano zero-valent iron-copper (Fe0-Cu), algae-activated carbon, and their composites (AC-Fe0-Cu), employed as adsorbents. In this paper, synthetic adsorbents are prepared and examined for the adsorption and removal of soluble cationic crystal violet (CV) dye. The influence of synthetic adsorbents on the adsorption and removal of soluble cationic crystal violet (CV) dye is investigated using UV-V spectroscopy at different pH (3 - 10), time intervals (15 – 180) minutes, and initial dye concentrations (50 - 500 ppm). Kinetic and isothermal models are used to fit the data of time and concentration experiments. DLS, zeta potential, FT-IR, XRD, and SEM characterize the prepared materials. Response surface methodology (RSM) is used to model the removal efficiency and then turned into a numerical optimization approach to determine the optimum conditions for improving dye removal efficiency. An artificial neural network (ANN) is also used to model the removal efficiency.

In the realm of material science, carbon materials, especially olive‐derived carbon (ODC), have become vital due to their sustainability and diverse properties. This review examines the sustainable extraction and use of ODC, a carbohydrate‐rich by‐product of olive biomass. We focus on innovative preparation techniques like pyrolysis, crucial for enhancing ODC's microstructure and surface properties. Variables such as activating agents, impregnation ratios, and pyrolysis conditions significantly influence these properties. ODC's high specific surface area renders it invaluable for applications in energy storage (in batteries and supercapacitors) and environmental sectors (water purification, hydrogen storage). Its versatility and accessibility underscore its potential for broad industrial use, marking it as a key element in sustainable development. This review provides a detailed analysis of ODC preparation methodologies, its various applications, and its role in advancing sustainable energy solutions. We highlight the novelty of ODC research and its impact on future studies, establishing this review as a crucial resource for researchers and practitioners in sustainable carbon materials. As global focus shifts towards eco‐friendly solutions, ODC emerges as a critical component in shaping a sustainable, innovation‐driven future.
