The presence of dye pollutants in the aquatic environment, apart from causing aesthetic problems, can also cause health problems. Removal of dye pollutants in industrial wastewater can be done using the adsorption method, which is a simple, effective and low-cost process. Fly ash is a solid waste...

Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology is applicable for removing organic components and nitrogen from wastewater in the Guheshwori Wastewater Treatment Plant (GWWTP). A lab-scale single-staged aerobic batch MBBR (16L pure volume, 5L active working volume) was designed and initiated using...

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the possibility of using a lignocellulosic residue, peanut shells after alkaline activation, as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. Adsorption experiments were conducted by varying parameters such as the...

In this study, removal of reactive yellow 145 (RY 145) dyestuff by dry biomass of Ureolytic mixed microorganism culture (UMC), existing in domestic wastewater and various industrial wastewater, was studied. Optimum conditions of adsorption efficiency were tested. For this purpose, studies were...

This study used a biosorbent, derived from processed Prosopis juliflora root powder to treat wastewater and remove lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and copper (Cu) ions. The biosorption process was influenced by factors including temperature (25 to 65°C), biomass content (1 to 5 g), pH levels (1.0 to 7.0)...

The biosorption of uranium ions was explored through batch studies employing activated biochar derived from Gracilaria Edulis seaweeds. A chemical synthesis approach utilizing concentrated sulfuric acid created and activated the adsorbent material. SEM and FTIR measurements were used to characterize...

Healthy water is a concern for the world due to rapid population growth and technological advancement. The entry of heavy metals into water as a result of various activities causes water pollution that has persistent effects. In this study, a specially designed electrodialysis cell was used to...

The purpose of this work is to examine the efficiency of the Electro-Fenton process (Fenton oxidation) for the elimination of amoxicillin from simulated wastewater through response surface methodology (RSM). The effect three operating parameters that were selected for this evaluation were...

Water contamination is a pressing global issue with far-reaching environmental, health, and socio-economic consequences. As the demand for clean water intensifies, researchers are exploring innovative nanomaterials to develop efficient and sustainable water treatment technologies. The Bismuth oxide...

Electrochemical treatment of wastewater containing p-nitrophenol (PNP) was carried out using a platinum electrode as an anode and biochar-loaded nano zero-valent iron material as the cathode. The prepared biochar loaded nano zero valent iron electrode materials were characterized and analyzed using...

A novel technique involving hydrothermal synthesis was employed to prepare nanocomposite precursors of lamellar double hydroxide based basic mixed oxides. This method extended ongoing research on iron-impregnated hydrotalcite-supported nanomaterials. The iron-based Fe/MgAl-h nanocomposite was...

In response to the growing demand for eco-friendly and efficient catalysts in wastewater treatment, this study introduces a novel, biosynthesized silver nanoparticle (AgNP) using leaf extract from Lawsonia inermis, a widely available plant. We employed a unique concentration mixture of 0.015 mg/mL...

Landfill facilities and organic waste treatment plants typically are known sources of odour pollution, such as gaseous NH3, among others. In this work, the removal of gaseous NH3 released from a composting line of a mechanical and biological treatment plant of undifferentiated municipal solid waste...

To conduct this experiment, rhizospheric bacteria were isolated from the root nodules of alfalfa ‎plants (Medicago sativa) in the Khuzestan province during the spring season. For the molecular ‎identification of superior isolates, DNA extraction and expression of 16S rDNA were performed. ‎To...
