Native Iron-Rich Quince-Derived Biochar for Sustainable Sulfamethoxazole Removal from Wastewater

In this study, quince-derived biochar was employed as a sustainable and multifunctional material for the removal of organic pollutants through different treatment alternatives depending on the pH (natural or modified), including adsorption and electro-Fenton degradation processes. The biochar, obtained by pyrolysis (50...

Modified Activated Carbons Derived from Chestnut Shell Waste Biomass for the Removal of Triclosan from Aqueous Solution

Triclosan (TCS) is an antimicrobial agent belonging to the bisphenol class, and is widely used in healthcare applications and in personal care products (PCPs). As an emerging pollutant frequently detected in aquatic environments, its toxicity to aquatic organisms and the male reproductive system highlights the need for...

Biochar derived from bean husk for the removal of lead and hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions

Heavy metals are among the most prevalent and difficult environmental pollutants to manage. This study explored the conversion of bean husks into biochar and evaluated its effectiveness as an inexpensive adsorbent to eliminate Pb(II) and Cr(VI) from water. Several analytical methods were utilized to ascertain the prope...

Manganese Oxide-Functionalized Palm Leaf Biochar for High-Efficiency Ciprofloxacin Adsorption from Water

The widespread occurrence of pharmaceutical contaminants, especially ciprofloxacin (CIP), in aquatic environments has created an urgent need for efficient and environmentally friendly water treatment strategies. In the present study, a green manganese oxide palm leaf biochar (MnO2/PL biochar) nanocomposite was synthesi...
