Adsorbent

The objective of this work was to replace the conventional pretreatment of reverse osmosis by coupling ultrafiltration with adsorption onto activated coffee-like adsorbent material. Adsorption was achieved on activated carbon prepared from a waste of coffee. A protocol of preparation is described as

A new magnetic Cu(II) ion imprinted composite adsorbent (Cu(II)–MICA) was synthesized with waste fungal mycelium from industry, chitosan (CS) and Fe3O4 nanoparticles combining metal imprinting technology. It was compared with its corresponding single component and magnetic non-imprinted composite ad

This paper reports the removal of a basic dye (rhodamine-B) by the activated carbon prepared from Parthenium biomass by sulphuric acid treatment method (SWC). The effectiveness of the prepared adsorbent has been studied as a function of agitation time, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and
