The current study reports a detailed investigation of the adsorption behavior of Mo4, Mo3Co, Mo2Co2, and MoCo3 clusters on graphene by studying their binding energy, charge transfer, band gap, electron density difference plots, and density of states (DOS) plots. The magnetic properties of these surfaces have also been reported. Owing to the strong ...

BackgroundSoil-based on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWSs) are suspected to contribute to eutrophication of surface waters, due to the discharge of phosphorus (P). However, along the flow path between the facilities and surface waters, different processes contribute to delay the transport of phosphorus through the ground. This may reduce the ...

AbstractMagnetic particles, generally nanostructured and magnetite-based, have been studied extensively to remove drinking water contaminants. Compositions beyond Fe3O4 could address long-standing issues of magnetic recoverability and materials integrity in drinking waters. Herein carbon-coated iron carbide ([email protected]) were studied for the first time ...

Lead (Pb) concentration of agricultural soils arises from either many industrial or agricultural pollution sources, and it is of most harmful heavy metals. Its reactivity and mobility in agricultural soils have significant environmental and ecosystem health consequences. Therefore, Pb adsorption processes of 28 surface soils with differing physico-...

The feasibility of using wood-derived biochar (BC) to remove Pb, Mn, and Cu from landfill leachate was investigated and modeled in this study. BC was produced under the pyrolytic temperature of 740 °C. The effect of contact time, BC dosage and particle size on adsorption of the heavy metals onto BC was examined. BC was used in two forms i.e., pulve...

Arsenic is an element of concern, as it is widely distributed in the environment and poses a great threat to the health of humans and other living beings. The present study investigates the uptake of arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) ions from aqueous solution using low-cost Polyalthia longifolia leaf powder (PLP). The low-cost adsorbent was ...

Biopolymer Xanthan gum (XG), an exo-polysaccharide obtained from the fermentation of simple sugars by bacteria Xanthomonas campestris under aerobic conditions exhibits interesting properties like biodegradability, high viscosity at a low shear rate and stability under a wide range of temperature and pH. These characteristics properties render it ac...

Hexavalent chromium was adsorbed from aqueous solution with three prepared and characterized adsorbents, namely goethite (G), activated carbon (AC) and their composite (GAC). The goethite particle was synthesized using the precipitation methods, and activated carbon was prepared from the stem bark of Daniellia oliveri tree and composite in a ratio ...

Unplanned and unmonitored developmental activities have resulted in a rapid emergence of pollutants like pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment. These PPCPs are considered as potential health hazards. A wide variety of physical, biological and chemical processes are presently being investigated for ensuring the effici...
