Four lignocellulosic materials (walnut shell, chestnut pine wood and burnt wood) were analyzed as biosorbents to remove nickel ions in aqueous solution. The optimal pH condition was determined. Due this, a range of different pHs (3.0 7.5) tested. adsorption isotherms kinetics established. To plot Langmuir Freundlich isotherms, batch tests made with variable concentrations (5 200 mg L−1). pseudo...

The biosorption potential of three fungal waste-biomasses (Acremonium strictum, Acremonium sp. and Penicillium sp.) from pharmaceutical companies was compared with that of a selected biomass (Cunninghamella elegans), already proven to be very effective in dye biosorption. Among the waste-biomasses, A. strictum was the most efficient (decolorization percentage up to 90% within 30 min) with regar...

Sargassum muticum is an invasive species to the coasts of British Isles, mainland Europe and North America, with negative ecological socioeconomic impacts. Pelagic inundations on beaches Caribbean have also been causing adverse health, economic effects. The finding commercial uses these biomasses may alleviate costs removal control. Both pelagic S. could be low-cost biosorbents for removing aqu...

In this work, economic, natural, and eco-friendly biosorbent want to be advised instead of traditional methods. For that reason, banana peel-based biosorbents were been done remove Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+ ions from the solution by batch method. Moreover, how their natural assets like density, water intake, solubility, heavy metal extraction performance affected starch oil contents had determined. Flam...

Abstract Untreated banana peel (BP) is able to adsorb efficiently cationic dyes like methylene blue (MB) but weakly anionic orange G (OG). One way enhance the sorption capacity for both convert BP into activated carbon (BPAC) after thermochemical treatment. Among various BPACs tested, highest was achieved when modified with NaOH and pyrolyzed at 700°C (BPAC‐NaOH‐700). The pore structure of adso...
