Abstract The tannery industry inevitably generates toxic and catastrophic wastewater, which results in a huge threat to public health and water resources. Therefore, this work aimed to synthesize parthenium ...

Abstract Background A simple and simultaneous electrochemical sensing platform was fabricated by electropolymerization of allura red on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for ...

A nanoadsorbent was synthesized from kraft lignin derived from paper and pulp black liquor, chitosan, and titania (TiO2) and used to remove Brilliant Black dye (BB) from aqueous solution. Transmission electron microscopy ...

This paper reviews the literature on clay/polymer (CP) based mixed-matrix membranes (MMM) for water treatment. Clay minerals have been credited for ultrafiltration (UF) membranes behaving like nanofiltration (NF) membranes ...

Natural organic matter (NOM) is a complex heterogeneous mixture of humic (HS) and non-humic substances which are widespread in the aquatic environment. Other constituents are amino acids, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons ...

Abstract The petrochemical, mining and power industries have reacted to the recent South African water crisis by focussing on improved brine treatment for water and salt recovery with the aim of achieving ...

There has been an increase in the quest for metagenomics as an approach for the identification and study of the diversity of human viruses found in aquatic systems, both for their role as waterborne pathogens and as water ...

One of the current global issues of increasing environmental-health concern is the ubiquitous occurrence of emerging micropollutants (EMPs) in aquatic environments. Among these EMPs, bisphenol A (BPA), technical 4- nonylphenol ...

Humic acid (HA) is a major constituent of natural organic matter (NOM) found in water systems. Although NOM generally does not have any known harmful effects to humans, it imparts repulsive organoleptic properties to water, ...
