Article Abstract
The present studies aimed for the removal of Methylene blue (MB) dye using the rice husk biochar (RHB), cow dung biochar (CDB) and domestic sludge biochar (SB) synthesized through slow pyrolysis at 500 °C. The biochar was used for the adsorption of synthetic aqueous MB dye. The removal efficiencies of MB by CDB, RHB and SB in a batch experiment were 97.0-99.0; 71.0-99.0 and 73.0-98.9% at conditions, pH (2.0-11.0); Biochar dosage (0.5-6.0 g/100 mL) for 5 days. Adsorption isotherm of Langmuir constant (K) were obtained 0.101, 0.583 and 0.128 for RHB, CDB and SB respectively. Further, adsorption kinetics of pseudo first order for RHB, CDB and SB were 0.068, 0.018, and 0.066 while it was 0.031, 0.023 and 0.273 for pseudo second order kinetics. Thus, CDB was more effective adsorbent for the dye removal. The pHz values were 7.8, 6.3 and 6.0 for the CDB, RHB, and SB, respectively.

A free radical polymerization approach was applied to synthesize different carboxymethyl cellulose-grafted poly(acrylamide) hydrogels (Hyd) composited with biochar, magnetic biochar, and magnetic biochar decorated with ZIF-67 to decontaminate methylene blue (MB) from water media. Biochar was obtained from walnut shells (WS) by a pyrolysis method, and magnetic biochar (WS/CoFeO) and biochar-decorated ZIF-67 (WS/CoFeO/ZIF-67) were prepared by chemical co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods, respectively. An increase in the amount of these particles by up to 10 wt% enhanced the removal performance.

The increasing pollution of water bodies from various industrial wastewater discharges has raised significant environmental concerns because these effluents contain toxic, nonbiodegradable compounds that pose serious risks to living organisms. In particular, the textile and pharmaceutical industries routinely use dyes that severely degrade water quality and lead to significant environmental issues. Therefore, effective removal of these dyes from industrial wastewater is crucial for mitigating pollution.

Photo-Fenton oxidation, as a promising wastewater treatment technology, suffers from double barriers: the sluggish Fenton catalytic rate of transition metal ions and inefficient visible light absorption, both of which severely constrain the performance enhancement of catalytic systems. Therefore, accelerating electron transfer processes and broadening optical absorption spectra have become critical scientific challenges for practical implementation. Herein, a composite catalyst system based on Au-Ag-Cu trimetallic species codoped on hydroxyapatite (HAp) was reported via an ion/ligand impregnation method.

Background: High-dose insulin and euglycemic therapy are widely used to treat calcium channel blocker toxicity. However, the effect of insulin on vasodilation evoked by the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker amlodipine remains unknown. This study examined the effect of insulin on amlodipine-induced vasodilation in isolated rat aortas with specific emphasis on mechanisms associated with nitric oxide (NO).

Although heterogeneous photo-Fenton reactions on nanoparticulate iron oxides effectively degrade organic pollutants, the underlying surface mechanisms remain debated. Here, we demonstrate how these pathways are modulated by specific hematite crystal facets. To investigate the influence of particle surface structure, methylene blue (MB) adsorption and photodegradation kinetics are examined using facet-engineered hematite nanoparticles with distinct exposed facets.
