Mahtab Ahmad,Anushka Upamali Rajapaksha,Jung Eun Lim,Ming Zhang,Nanthi Bolan,Dinesh Mohan,Meththika Vithanage,Sang Soo Lee,Yong Sik Ok,Yong Sik Ok,Yong Sik Ok +10 more
TL;DR: Due to complexity of soil-water system in nature, the effectiveness of biochars on remediation of various organic/inorganic contaminants is still uncertain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater by chemically modified plant wastes as adsorbents: A review
TL;DR: In this review, an extensive list of plant wastes as adsorbents including rice husks, spent grain, sawdust, sugarcane bagasse, fruit wastes, weeds and others has been compiled and some of the treated adsorbent show good adsorption capacities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agricultural waste material as potential adsorbent for sequestering heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions - a review.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided the scattered available information on various aspects of utilization of the agricultural waste materials for heavy metal removal, which can be exploited for high efficiency and multiple reuse to enhance their applicability at industrial scale.
Agricultural waste material as potential adsorbent for sequestering heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions
D Sud,G Mahajan,M P Kaur +2 more
TL;DR: Biosorption is emerging as a potential alternative to the existing conventional technologies for the removal and/or recovery of metal ions from aqueous solutions for heavy metal remediation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosorption and bioaccumulation ― the prospects for practical applications
TL;DR: The paper discusses the possibilities which offer research on pollutants-biomass interactions, pointing out that the key to elaborate an efficient method working for the nature would be to understand the mechanisms governing the processes, parameters which influence both equilibrium and kinetics, through the observation of naturally occurring phenomena.

Adsorption of several metal ions onto a low-cost biosorbent: kinetic and equilibrium studies.
TL;DR: Sugar beet pulp generated by sugar-refining factories has been shown to be an effective adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions and Ion exchange with Ca2+ ions neutralizing the carboxyl groups of the polysaccharide was found to be the predominant mechanism.
