Violette Geissen,Hans G.J. Mol,Erwin Klumpp,Günter Umlauf,Martí Nadal,Martine van der Ploeg,Sjoerd E.A.T.M. van de Zee,Coen J. Ritsema +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a concept that shows the current state of art and challenges for monitoring programs, fate and risk assessment tools and requirements for policies with respect to emerging pollutants as a base for sustainable water resource management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of activated carbon and bentonite for adsorption of amoxicillin from wastewater: mechanisms, isotherms and kinetics.
TL;DR: Adsorption, as an efficient process to remove contaminants from water was chosen; in particular with bentonite and activated carbon as adsorbents, with several possible mechanisms for these adsorption systems elaborated further.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in the preparation and application of modified biochar for improved contaminant removal from water and wastewater
TL;DR: Modified biochar (BC) is reviewed in its preparation, functionality, applications and regeneration, and the Langmuir isotherm model provides the best fit for sorption equilibria of heavy metals and anionic contaminants and the pseudo 2(nd) order is the most appropriate model of sorption kinetics for all contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of evidence: are endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the aquatic environment impacting fish populations?
TL;DR: Evidence from the current literature is presented that addresses either of two questions: 1) do EDCs in the aquatic environment have the potential to impact the reproductive health and survival of various fish species, and 2) are EDCsInThe aquatic environment actually impacting the reproductivehealth and sustainability of indigenous populations of fish?
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of bio-char derived from fast pyrolysis of biomass and its application in removal of tetracycline from aqueous solution.
TL;DR: The results show that the alkali treated bio-char possesses larger surface area than those of raw and acid treated Bio-char, and accordingly exhibits a more excellent adsorption performance than the other two bio-chars and other adsorbents reported previously.
