Adsorption of methylene blue on adsorbent materials produced from cotton stalk
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of three types of adsorbents for removing methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions: cotton stalk (CS), sulphuric acid treated cotton stalks (SCS) and phosphoric acid-treated cotton stinger (PCS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulosic substrates for removal of pollutants from aqueous systems: a review. 1. metals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider how biosorption of dyes onto cellulose-related materials has the potential to address the concerns of highly visible, sometimes toxic, and sometimes resistant to biological breakdown; thus it is important to minimize their release into aqueous environments.

Green synthesis of gold nanoparticles using marine algae and evaluation of their catalytic activity
TL;DR: A green method for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) under ambient conditions using aqueous extracts of marine brown algae is reported and the synthesized AuNPs were evaluated for their catalytic efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of Rhodamine B from Aqueous Solution Using Palm Shell-Based Activated Carbon: Adsorption and Kinetic Studies
TL;DR: Palm shell derived activated carbon was utilized as a potential adsorbent to remove rhodamine B (RB) from aqueous solution, and the ability of the prepared activated carbon for dye adsorption was examined in a series of batch experiments.

Treatment and Reuse of Wastewater from the Textile Wet-Processing Industry : Review of Emerging Technologies
TL;DR: The main limitation of this approach is the treatment of the concentrate stream as discussed by the authors, which is a segment of the research dealing with the separate handling of speci-c sub-streams such as dyebath effluents to which membrane -ltration is sometimes applied.

Uptake of Metal Ions by Rhizopus arrhizus Biomass
TL;DR: Rhizopus arrhizus biomass was found to absorb a variety of different metal cations and anions but did not absorb alkali metal ions, and it is proposed that the uptake mechanism involves electrostatic attraction to positively charged functional groups.

Laccase-catalyzed decolorization of synthetic dyes
Yuxing Wong,Jian Yu +1 more
TL;DR: Effluent decolorization may not be limited by the small molecule metabolites which are not produced in large amount by fungus in most industrial effluents, and implies that the laccase-substrate dyes in an industrial effluent can promote the decolorized of those nonsubstrate dye.
