This study focuses on the preparation of corncob-based biosorbents. The chemical impregnation method was used to vary the chemical agent namely phosphoric acid H3PO4 (BA) and sodium hydroxide NaOH (BB). The physicoche...
Antimicrobials are frequently used in both humans and animals for the treatment of bacterially-generated ill-nesses.Antibiotic usage has increased for more than 40%from last 15 years globally per day in both human pop...
The presence of toxic dyes in the aqueous medium has threatened environmental safety, and thereby re- moving them from wastewater in an efficient way is highly desired. Herein, the efficient biosorbents were successfu...
Water pollution caused by industrial dyes has become a severe problem in the modern world. Biosorbents can be used in an eco-friendly manner to remove industrial dyes. In this study, five biosorbents were selected: pa...
Samples of ground nut hull were converted to biosorbents using microwave assisted method [groundnut hull treated with hydrogen peroxide (HP-GH), groundnut hull treated with distilled water (W-GH) and raw groundnut hul...
the UJ Global Excellence and Stature(GES)for Postdoctoral Fellowship Award offered him as well as the University of Ilorin,Ilorin,Nigeria,for the one-year study leave granted the main author.The co-author(Prof J.C.Ngila)also thanks UJ Global Excellence and Stature Scholarship for the running cost paid by Water Research Commission(WRC)Project No.K5/2365.
The contamination of the environment by organic pollutants is a major risk factor,particularly for developing countries.Selected organic pollutants(SOPs)like the phenolic compounds,polyaromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs),pest...
Three biosorbents were prepared from Watermelon Rind (WMR) using microwave assisted procedure and then characterized using physiochemical techniques (pH, bulk density, volatile matter, surface area, ash content and mo...

The removal of chromium(Cr)from wastewater by various adsorbents has been investigated.As compared with the commercial activated carbon,the biosorbents with inexpensive and high adsorption capacities are developed fro...
For recovery of metals from low-concentration sources, biosorption is one of promising technologies and poly-γ-glutamic acid(γ-PGA) has been known as a potential biosorbent for recovery of heavy metals from aqueou...
Sporopollenin exines microcapsules, derived from the naturally occurring spores of Lycopodium clavatum, have been loaded in-situ with humic acid sodium salt-Zinc (HA-Zn) complex. The chemical treatment method utilised...
