Polysaccharide nanocomposites in wastewater treatment: A review

Chemosphere, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 347, С. 140578 - 140578

Опубликована: Ноя. 6, 2023

In modern times, wastewater treatment is vital due to increased water contamination arising from pollutants such as nutrients, pathogens, heavy metals, and pharmaceutical residues. Polysaccharides (PSAs) are natural, renewable, non-toxic biopolymers used in the field of gas separation, liquid filtration, adsorption processes, pervaporation, proton exchange membranes. Since addition nanoparticles PSAs improves their sustainability strength, nanocomposite has gained significant attention for past decade. This review presents a comprehensive analysis PSA-based nanocomposites efficient treatment, focusing on adsorption, photocatalysis, membrane-based methods. It also discusses potential future applications, challenges, opportunities photocatalysis. Recently, have shown promise adsorbents biological-based systems, effectively removing metals that could hinder microbial activity. Cellulose-mediated successfully removed various wastewater, including dyes, oil, organic solvents, pesticides, Thus, PSA would support biological processes plants. A major concern discharge antibiotic wastes industries, posing environmental health risks. PSA-mediated bio-adsorbents, like clay polymeric hydrogel beads, efficiently remove antibiotics ensuring quality ecosystem balance. The successful use bio-adsorbents depends ongoing research optimize application evaluate impacts. Implementing these eco-friendly large scale holds great significantly reducing pollution, safeguarding ecosystems, protecting human health.

Hexavalent chromium adsorption from aqueous solution utilizing activated carbon developed from Rumex abyssinicus

Results in Engineering, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 22, С. 102274 - 102274

Опубликована: Май 15, 2024

The indiscriminate release of chromium-saturated effluent into water bodies has raised concerns regarding its effect on human health and environmental ecology. Therefore, this research aimed to remove hexavalent chromium from an aqueous solution utilizing activated carbon developed Rumex abyssinicus. adsorbent was prepared through chemical impregnation with H3PO4 then thermally at 500 for 2 h. optimization the adsorption experiments performed using Box‒Behnken approach response surface methodology. characterization revealed good quality in terms amorphous structure, maximum specific area 1722.9 m2/g porous surface. Furthermore, results showed that a removal efficiency 95.97% attained optimum working pH 3, contact time 60 min, initial concentration 70 mg/L dosage 0.6 mg/100 mL. Langmuir isotherm model found have best fit experimental data. Moreover, kinetics study pseudo-second-order data best, indicating occurrence chemisorption. Overall, suggested abyssinicus could be effective removing solutions.
