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...

Cyanide compounds are widely used in some electroplating, chemical and metallurgical industries. They are often found in their liquid discharges. This work highlights the performance of an activated alumina-supported copper catalyst in the removal of cyanide by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide in...
