Aloe Vera waste for Methylene Blue (MB), Rhodamine B (RB) and Methyl Orange (MO) adsorption.

(Corresponding) Mazzeo L., Bavasso I., Di Palma L.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis miller) waste obtained from a local cosmetic production factory was used as bio-adsorbent for the removal of three different dyes: Methylene Blue (MB), Rhodamine B (RB) and Methyl Orange (MO). The material was preliminary washed with water at room temperature. Batch...Read more

New polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based porous carbons for the removal of industrial wood dyes from aqueous solutions

Domínguez-Ramos L., Tejado I., Gómez-Díaz D., Freire S., Lazzari M., (Corresponding) González-Álvarez J.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

Synthetic dyes degradation is a difficult task due to their complex aromatic structure, although its elimination by adsorption is effective. The aim of this research is to produce porous carbons derived from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as wood dyes adsorbents. PAN is a nitrogen-rich precursor...Read more

Application of solar photo-Fenton oxidation coupled with granular activated carbon as a viable option for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern in the urban wastewater of India

Karaolia P., Korelidou A., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.

Topic:

Advanced oxidation processes

It has been estimated that approximately 62 billion litres of sewage are generated every day in India, with only 37% of sewage being treated (Saxena et al., 2021). Wastewater treatment issues such as dysfunctional UWTPs with many of them operating at low service levels compared to the design...Read more

Energy recovery from urea in decentralised wastewater streams

Asiain-Mira R., Zamora P., Rogalla F., Monsalvo V., (Corresponding) Torrente-Murciano L.

Topic:

Water, energy and/or food nexus

This work presents the design of a new process that enables energy recovery from wastewater, based on the selective adsorption of urea from urine and its subsequent decomposition into hydrogen. Removal of nitrogen compounds is at the core of wastewater treatment, as their uncontrolled discharge...Read more
