Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
October 2024
This paper reports a comprehensive study of Theobroma cacao pericarp (TCP) residues, which has been prepared, characterized, and tested as an inexpensive and efficient biosorbent of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. The maximum adsorption capacity of TCP obtained at optimal conditions (pH = 2, dose = 0.5 g L, C = 100 mg L) was q = 48.

- The article details an affordable microwave synthesis method for fabricating MnMoO nanoflowers by adjusting factors like solvent, pH, microwave power, and duration, resulting in various nanostructures.
- Characterization techniques such as XRD, FE-SEM, FT-IR, and UV-DRS were employed to assess the physical and chemical properties of the synthesized nanoflowers, confirming their crystallinity and unique morphology.
- The synthesized MnMoO nanoflowers exhibited 85% photocatalytic activity in degrading methylene blue under visible light, with proposed mechanisms highlighting effective charge separation and stability for potential future environmental applications.
agro-industrial waste (WTC) has been characterized and tested as an effective biosorbent to remove Cd(II) from aqueous media. At the optimum pH of 5.0, a maximum adsorption capacity of q = 58.
