The complex composition of persistent and resistant contaminants in oil refinery wastewater presents a significant environmental challenge that conventional treatment methods frequently fail to effectively address. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs), specifically the photo-Fenton method, and a deep...

Potable water is essential in various aspects of daily life. Converting brackish water to drinkable water using traditional methods is costly and has environmental impacts. Solar energy is preferred over fossil fuels and other energy sources due to its cost and environmental benefits. Solar stills...

One of the space-saving and alternative options for wastewater treatment is the use of Membrane Bio-Reactor. This paper delineates the sequential approach to explore integrated cost functions for estimation of the forecast level cost for biological treatment of wastewater by use of Membrane Bio...

With an estimated volume of 162 thousand metric tonnes in 2020, India is the world's largest producer of tamarind. The country is home to a number of tamarind species, and production is spread out across the country. Farmers and agro-industries continue to encounter numerous challenges in the...

In concrete industry, the use of concrete solid wastes is becoming further common since it can minimize associated costs and environmental implications. The current research looks at how concrete performs when polypropylene (PP) plastic, produced from pollution garbage items, is used as a partially...

The current study work's contribution relates to the removal of xylene using an adsorbent with modified surfaces made from a naturally occurring substance called avocado seed. With the aid of a muffle furnace heated to 600⁰c, this was converted to become activated carbon. Activated carbon is...

Biosorption of hexavalent chromium ions from the synthetic solution was performed using activated Ziziphus jujube seeds powder as an adsorbent material. A chemical synthesis process prepared the adsorbent, and various methods have evaluated its characteristics. FTIR, SEM and EDX analysis was...

In the present study, fruits of Ceratonia siliqua L. (carobs) were used as an alternative low cost biosorbents to remove a cationic dye, methyl violet 2B (MV) which has broad applications in paints, textile and printing ink, from aqueous solutions. The untreated (CRM) and thermal treated carobs (CC)...

Unqualified treatment of the discharge of wastewater contains a large number of nitrogen and phosphorus and other nutrients, such wastewater into the water environment is easy to lead to eutrophication of water bodies, and cause harm to human health. In order to prepare a cost-effective, efficient...

The widespread use of alternative water sources in Kelantan encourages the development of cost-effective methods for the purification of water. A simple and straightforward adsorption process using a nanomagnetic adsorption composite (NMAC) was introduced in this study as a new adsorbent for the...

Regular water treatment-plant (WTP) comprises of a number of units. Of course, problems exist throughout design and operation of the WTP units. Consequently, the current re-search aimed to minimize the shortcomings of the coagulation, sedimentation, and the adsorption methods through applying...

In this study, the potential textile dye biosorption capacity of a low-cost biosorbent (P. animale) was tested as functions of pH, biosorbent type, initial dye concentration, temperature, contact time and biosorbent dosage at batch scale level. The optimal conditions are 2, dried biosorbent, 93.16...
