Functionalized agricultural biomass as a low-cost adsorbent: Utilization of rice straw incorporated with amine groups for the adsorption of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) from single and binary systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) applying amine-functionalized modified rice straw (MRS) as an adsorbent in single and binary systems was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation mechanisms of ofloxacin and cefazolin using peroxymonosulfate activated by reduced graphene oxide-CoFe2O4 composites
TL;DR: In this paper, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets were integrated with CoFe2O4 to construct distinctive composites that were evaluated as heterogeneous catalysts activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the oxidative degradation of ofloxacin (OFX) and cefazolin (CFZ), two widely used pharmaceuticals belonging to the fluoroquinolone and β-lactam antibiotic families, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activated Biochar Prepared by Pomelo Peel Using H3PO4 for the Adsorption of Hexavalent Chromium: Performance and Mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the adsorption of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI) using pomelo peel activated biochar (PPAB) as a adsorbent and showed that the PPAB had a high microporous structure and the existence of organic compounds such as hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors and Mechanisms that Influence the Reactivity of Trivalent Copper: A Novel Oxidant for Selective Degradation of Antibiotics
Yong Feng,Weihua Qing,Lingjun Kong,Lingjun Kong,Hailong Li,Deli Wu,Yiang Fan,Po Heng Lee,Kaimin Shih +8 more
TL;DR: Copper(III) periodate is characterized, a representative trivalent copper compound, with phenol and several antibiotics as model contaminants, and shown to be a novel and highly efficient oxidant for selective removal of ubiquitous micropollutants from water bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mono/competitive adsorption of Arsenic(III) and Nickel(II) using modified green tea waste
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pH in single and binary component system was studied, a maximum sorption was achieved at about pH 3 for As(III) and pH 7 for Ni(II).
