The use of biochar from waste wooden biomass for removal of emerging pollutants
(Corresponding) Žgajnar Gotvajn A., Carvalho A., Marinšek M., Kalčikova G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Biochar can be produced usig variety of waste biomass to achieve goals of zero waste management and circular economy. It has been used as adsorbent in the past for water and wastewater treatment. Recetly, the application of natural porous materials for removal of emerging pollutants gained a lot of...Read more
Characterization of activated carbon prepared from Aegina pistachio shells for Hg removal
(Corresponding) Karagianni E., Chatzitheodoridis E., Papassiopi N.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Preparation of activated carbon from agricultural bio-products is a promising way to produce useful adsorbents for Hg removal. In this study Aegina pistachio shells were used as raw materials and the activation was carried out by impregnation with ZnCl2 and heating at 750oC under N2 atmosphere...Read more
Coal fly ash zeolites as adsorbents for effective removal of heavy metals and dyes from contaminated waters
Zgureva D., (Corresponding) Boycheva S., Behunová D., Václavíková M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Recently, the purification of enormous amounts contaminated industrial, agricultural and municipal waters increases the demands of low-cost and technologically feasible techniques. The application of natural zeolites in wastewater treatment is known from many years. A feasible approach for...Read more

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
Aqueous wastewater treatment with aluminum oxide, silica, and alginite
Bankole A., (Corresponding) Thiemann T.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The adsorption of different types of dyes and stains over inorganic adsorbent materials such as silica, and aluminum oxide (basic and acidic) as well as over a mineral with an organic component, alginite, has been studied, with the idea of treatment of remnant dye solutions and solution wastes from...Read more
Use of residues from Eucalyptus Globulus as biosorbents for cadmium removal
(Corresponding) Hansen H., Gutierrez C., Alarcon J., Lazo A., Hansen M., Lazo P., Ortiz R.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The present work studied the removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions by a series of batch sorption experiments using Eucalyptus Globulus bark and seeds as biosorbents. Both biosorbents showed good results in cadmium removal. The best results were obtained when working with a particle size < 75...Read more
Removal of copper (II) from aqueous solution using biopolymer-based materials: Theoretical and statistical physics investigation for wastewater treatment
ELBOUGHDIRI N., FERKOUS H., ROUIBAH K., DELIM A., BOUBLIA A., ALGETHAMI J., ALQAHTANI M., JEON B., (Corresponding) Yadav Y., BENGUERBA Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Pollution from heavy metals is increasingly recognized as a major threat to Earth's ecosystem. Due to the potential economic and ecological consequences, there is an urgent need to develop waste management systems and strategies for disposing of copper ions (Cu2+) from the industrial sector...Read more
