2023, Groundwater for Sustainable DevelopmentAdsorption behavior of cationic surfactant onto aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles and application in lindane removal
2023, Materials Today CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :While biodegradation is low efficiency [22], photocatalysis and adsorption are preferable due to high performance [19,21,23,24]. It is evident that adsorption [17,25–27] is one of the most effective techniques for lindane removal from aqueous solution. In general, novel adsorbent with high specific surface area is high performance for removal of organic micropollutants [17,28].

2021, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :For this, synthetic in-situ and/or ex-situ procedures are used, which are based on the use of metabolic pathways or biomolecules present in different living entities, which include microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts and viruses, and higher organisms such as multicellular algae, mushrooms and plants (Shah et al., 2015; Bolade et al., 2020; González-Ballesteros and Rodríguez-Argüelles, 2020; Hou and O'Connor, 2020). Of these biosynthetic alternatives, the process based on the use of plant material is the most generalized and developed synthesis in academia, mainly due to the simple propagation of plants, and their wide phytochemical and phylogenetic diversity, the simple extraction capacity of their molecules and components through innocuous solvents, and the possibility of using different tissues, ranging from pulps and peels of fruits, leaves, roots, seeds, to flowers (see Table 2) (Anastas and Lankey, 2000; Nasrollahzadeh et al., 2015; Nath, 2015; Shah et al., 2015; Silva et al., 2015; Devatha and Thala, 2018; Ciambelli et al., 2019; Sebastian et al., 2020). In turn, small variations in the concentration of the plant extract, the amount of the precursor nanomaterial, the temperature or the pH conditions provide the ability to generate nanomaterials with different morphology, size and biological properties (Shah et al., 2015).
A journey to the world of fascinating ZnO nanocomposites made of chitosan, starch, cellulose, and other biopolymers: Progress in recent achievements in eco-friendly food packaging, biomedical, and water remediation technologies
2021, International Journal of Biological MacromoleculesCitation Excerpt :Among these methods, due to the easy and cheap operation, great selectivity, less sludge production, and some other noticeable features, adsorption is recognized as a noteworthy method [100–103]. Day to day, the investigators introduce prominent materials for utilization in this field, such as layered double hydroxide hybrids [104], graphene-containing biochars or other graphene-based nanoadsorbents [105,106], bio-wastes [107,108], semiconductor photocatalyst hybrids [109,110], metal or metal oxide NPs [111,112], metal-organic frameworks [99], biopolymers and related BPNCs [113,114], and so on. Among them, ZnO NPs, as well as BPZNCs, are known as a group of photocatalysts material, which could be applied for the remediation of water [101].
