This study reveals the potential of cement as a cost-effective and high-capacity adsorbent for removing phosphorus from acidic and neutral wastewaters.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are pervasive in industrial processes, eliciting public concern upon their release into municipal sewers or the environment.

To purify water polluted by tetracycline antibiotics, a new visible light-driven magnetically recoverable photocatalyst, g-C₃N₄/CoFe₂O₄/Bi₂MoO₆, was prepared in this study, and it effectively removed tetracycline antibiotics.

The biological treatment of wastewater generates a substantial amount of waste sludge that requires dewatering before final disposal.

The future directions of photocatalytic degradation of micropollutants (pharmaceuticals, dyes, pesticides, etc.) and its role in green fuel production from wastewater are discussed with several examples of modern photocatalysts.

The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant (AR) bacterial strains and biofilm-associated diseases have heightened concerns about exploring alternative bactericidal methods.

The thermal desorption of CHs in contaminated soil was enhanced by the in situ dechlorination effect brought by the addition of nZVI.

The study elucidated environmental toxicity impact along with mechanistic degradation of organic emerging contaminants with different aromaticity and aliphaticity.

This study demonstrates that the coordinated defluorination system (IE-BA) which is made up of the industrial aluminum electrode and natural bauxite for fluoride removal. The defluorination mechanism of the IE-BA system is discussed.

Analyzed the microorganisms cold-adapted mechanism, and summarized the degradation pathway of nitro-aromatic compounds. Evaluated safety of microbial agents according to the existing application restoration cases under freeze-thaw cycles condition.

This study employed geopolymerization technique to solidify MSWI fly ash, aiming to facilitate its reutilization. The FA based geopolymers exhibit strong durability and mechanical qualities, making them suitable for a variety of applications.

Mixture of TiO₂-P25 and magnetic CuFe₂O₄–Fe₂O₃ nanocomposites improves photocatalytic water treatment and enables easy catalyst recovery, effectively degrading pollutants like 2,4-D.

Textile wastewater accounts for a significant proportion of industrial wastewater worldwide.

Mesoporous Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were coated with polymerized dopamine to mimic corals for adsorption of microplastics from different water sources.

Sludge biochar loaded with Fe–Mn oxides (FMBC) was prepared and employed to remove Cr(VI) from wastewater.

This article is about recoverable adsorbents for the removal of metal-based water contaminants. It presents the role of the homogeneity and heterogeneity of adsorbents, kinetics of adsorption, and the mechanism of the sorption process.

Coinage metal nanoclusters are doped with transition metals to obtain an efficient photocatalyst and adsorbent for the removal of toxic dyes.

Cyanoremediation of heavy metals by surface adsorption of live cyanobacteria represents a promising technique for wastewater treatment.

We introduce a mild method for the ligand-promoted copper-catalyzed coupling of 2-halophenol to construct DBDO using cost-effective copper salts, ligands, and alkaline reagents.

This review examines the escalating issue of plastic pollution, specifically highlighting the detrimental effects on the environment and human health caused by microplastics and nanoplastics.

Adsorptive property of microgels is reported briefly in this review. Morphology and synthetic methods of adsorbent (microgels) are described. Various adsorption isotherms and kinetic models of adsorption are also discussed.

The growing apprehension surrounding heavy metal pollution in both environmental and industrial contexts has spurred extensive research into adsorption materials aimed at efficient remediation.

When a plant shows deficiency syndromes, sometimes it becomes too late for the farmer to apply fertilizer, as most rely on checking plant leaves to assess their nutrition level. Electrochemical sensors can bring revolution here. Other pollutants (NPK) can also be determined using these sensors.
