Nano carbon-modified air purification filters for removal and detection of particulate matters from ambient air.

Particulate matters (PMs) pose significant risks to human health and the environment, necessitating research to enhance air purification filters and reduce harmful emissions. This study focuses on the preparation of carbon nanomaterials, including graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N4 NSs), reduced graphene oxide (r-GO), and carbon nanotubes (CNT), for modifying filters in air particle monitoring devices. The objective is to investigate the impact of these nanomaterials on enhancing PM adsorption efficiency.

Detachment of Cu (II) and Co (II) ions from synthetic wastewater via adsorption on fish bones using LIBS and XRF.

Natural fish bones, that are known to have unique adsorption capacity, have been used in the present work for removal of heavy metals, copper, and cobalt, from wastewater. It has been found that sorption process depends on the initial metal concentration and on the contact time. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as a spectrochemical analytical technique was used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the water samples.
