Alum sludge (AlS) has emerged as an effective adsorbent for anionic contaminants, with traditional activation methods like acid/base treatments and calcination employed to enhance its adsorption capacity. However, these approaches encounter significa...
BACKGROUND: Despite microextraction techniques have gained prominence over traditional extraction ones, they usually involve repetitive and tedious manual procedures. Full or partial automation could help alleviate this drawback. Even though commerci...
The development of new adsorbents for water treatment often involves complex adsorption mechanisms, whose individual contributions are unclear, thereby limiting the understanding of adsorption driving forces, making it difficult to achieve precise de...

The disposal of recalcitrant dyes in aquatic environments from various industrial sectors is a threat to both the plant and animal kingdom. The presence of dyes in various water bodies undermines the availability of uncontaminated drinking water and ...
The rapid increase in atmospheric CO, arising from anthropogenic sources, has posed a severe threat to global climate and raised widespread environmental concern. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising adsorbents to potentially reduce CO emiss...

A sequential injection - square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SI-SWASV) method for determination of Se(IV) at a gold working electrode was developed to investigate the adsorption of Se(IV) onto vermiculite intercalated with Fe(III) polyhydroxy c...
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is elevated not only in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but also in acute illnesses such as acute kidney injury, septic shock, and acute heart failure. FGF-23 would be not ...
Ethanol production from sugarcane molasses yields large volume of highly colored spent wash as effluent. This color is imparted by the recalcitrant melanoidin pigment produced due to the Maillard reaction. In the present work, decolourization of mela...
