Size-dependent impact of inorganic nanoparticles on sulfamethoxazole adsorption by carbon nanotubes

Controlled Dehydration of Fe(OH)3 to Fe2O3: Developing Mesopores with Complexing Iron Species for the Adsorption of β-Lactam Antibiotics

“…13 Adsorption has also been used as an effective and simple alternative and materials such as wheat grains, 14 organoclays, 15,16 and chitosan based material, 17 which are some examples of adsorbents used for amoxicillin removal. Carbon-based materials, such as activated carbon, [18][19][20] magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotube, 21 magnetic activated carbon, 17 carbon nanofibers, 22 graphene-based materials, 23 carbon nanotubes 24,25 and graphene oxide 26 have been extensively investigated for the antibiotic adsorption. However, several of these works suggest that the relatively large β-lactam antibiotic molecules do not effectively access the narrow micropores of activated carbons.…”

Substantial Size Reduction of Banana Fibres and Enhancement of Fibre Properties Achieved Through a Single Mechanical Treatment

“…These peaks indicate the presence of a contaminant, which is Corundum in this case (the material of the wet grinding stones). Chen et al [62] reported the peaks at the same 2θ values for the Corundum material. However, the peak heights for the contaminant peaks are 60-70% less than the average peak height for the cellulose peaks;…”

Single-component and competitive adsorption of tetracycline and Zn(ii) on an NH4Cl-induced magnetic ultra-fine buckwheat peel powder biochar from water: studies on the kinetics, isotherms, and mechanism

“…It was attributed to the higher internal diffusion ability at initial adsorbate concentration. 50 However, the plots did not pass through the origin, which meant the presence of the boundary layer. It was proved that the intra-particle diffusion mechanism was not the rate-determining step.…”
