Cationic dyes are toxic environmental pollutants that need to be mitigated from the aqueous environment. In this study, Hevea brasiliensis seed shells (HBSS) activated with H3PO4 (PHBSS) and NaCl (SHBSS) were explored for the removal of Congo red (CR) and malachite green (MG) from their aqueous solutions. The adsorbents were carbonised at 300 °C fo...

The aim of this study is to investigate the synthesis, characterization, and adsorptive properties of composite hydrogels that can be used to remove MB dye from aqueous solutions. Composite hydrogels were used to remove the MB from aqueous solutions. Composite hydrogels were synthesized by free radical polymerization of 2-acrylo-amido-2 methyl prop...

This research work investigated the corrosion inhibitive performance of the nano-sized pawpaw seeds on A36 mild steel in 1 M H2SO4 medium. The metal samples were subjected to corrosive environment (with and without varied concentrations of the inhibitor) using both the weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization tests at different temperatures (27...

The adsorption properties of the intermediates of oxygen reduction reaction on bismuthene and graphene/bismuthene heterojunctions have been studied, and the oxygen reduction reaction processes have been simulated. The five intermediates, O, OH, O2, OOH and H2O, all tend to adsorb on the vacancy sites of the bismuthene, with adsorption energies of −...

hydrogels were synthesized by free radical polymerization of Acrylic acid (AAc) and 3-sulfopropyl acrylate potassium salt (KSPA) in aqueous solution using N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker and ammonium persulfate (APS) as initiator. This were designated as copolymer KSPAC. Water swelling studies of copolymer hydrogels with differen...

Traditional superhydrophobic materials can selectively remove insoluble pollutants due to their non-wetting and superoleophilic property. However, the dissolved pollutants cannot be removed. In this paper, the surface of melamine sponge was hydrophobized through solvothermal method, through which insoluble pollutants could be selectively removed an...

The equilibrium and kinetic studies of removal of Pb2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ metal ions were carried out using activated carbon prepared from palm kernel shell and doped with CeO2 (Ce/AC). The obtained material carbon was characterized by XRD which showed some crystalline traces of CeO2, SEM displaying the porous texture with spherical pores and th...

Red mud as industrial waste from bauxite was utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of mesoporous ZSM-5. A high concentration of iron oxide in red mud was successfully removed using alkali fusion treatment. Mesoporous ZSM-5 was synthesized using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) as a template via dual-hydrothermal method, and the effect of ...

A novel adsorbent (PN-Fe3O4-IDA-Zr) was developed from the chemical modification of peanut husk (a low cost material) with Fe3O4, iminodiacetic acid (IDA) and zirconium (Zr) and its efficacy for the sequestration of wastewater assessed using Alizarin red (AR) and Acid chrome blue K (AK) as model pollutants. To elucidate the characteristics of the f...
