Kinetics models are very vital to dumpsite operators and planners as they provide relevant information for effective treatment of leachates. The aim this work is model the kinetic process Lagos leachate using Musa sapientum peels bio-sorbent with a view establishing parameters process. which were collected from Ayetoro market in Epe Local Government area State used prepare bio-sorbent. Kinetic ...

Typha latifolia leaves have been exploited as low cost biosorbent for remediation ofaqueous media contaminated with the reactive dye Drimarene Blue K2RL (DB-K2RL) discharged fromtextile effluents. The effect of parameters such initial concentration dye, amount bio-sorbent,initial pH, shaking time and speed were investigated to evaluate its sorption capacity. maximumsorption was observed on addi...

Electrospun chitosan–polyethylene oxide/TEMPO-oxidized cellulose (CS–PEO/TOC) bio-based composite was fabricated for the first time water treatment applications. This new concept allows and chitosan to be combined in a simpler efficient way, avoiding use of harmful solvents, compared previously published related work. The “Sandwich-like” material is composed porous oxidized cellulosic fibers ce...

The aim of this study is to investigate the utilization of silkworm cocoon waste, such as pierced or stained cocoons, as a sorbent material for the removal of motor and vegetable oils from water. The oil-sorption capacity, rate and reusability of the material were evaluated. The results show the high sorption capacity of the silkworm cocoon waste sorbent (42-52 g(oil)/g(sorbent) for motor oil a...

In this work, locally available tea wastes were used as precursors for the development of cost-effective bio-sorbent materials heavy metal removal from wastewater. Chemical and thermal treatments to prepare magnetic/non-magnetic waste-based adsorbents discussed correlated their properties with corresponding Cr(VI) adsorption capacity. These bio-sorbents thoroughly characterized by FT-IR, PXRD, ...
