Bioremediation potential of microalgae for sustainable soil treatment in India: A comprehensive review on heavy metal and pesticide contaminant removal.

The escalating environmental concerns arising from soils contamination with heavy metals (HMs) and pesticides (PSTs) necessitate the development of sustainable and effective remediation strategies. These contaminants, known for their carcinogenic properties and toxicity even at small amounts, pose significant threats to both environmental ecology and human health. While various chemical and physical treatments are employed globally, their acceptance is often hindered by prolonged remediation times, high costs, and inefficacy in areas with exceptionally high pollutant concentrations.

Advancements in textile dye removal: a critical review of layered double hydroxides and clay minerals as efficient adsorbents.

The textile industry is responsible for producing large volumes of wastewater that contain a wide variety of dye compounds. This poses a significant environmental hazard and risks harming both ecosystems and living organisms. This review study explores the advancements in adsorption research for dye removal, with a particular emphasis on the development of various adsorbents.

Facile synthesis of carbon-coated layered double hydroxide and its comparative characterisation with Zn-Al LDH: application on crystal violet and malachite green dye adsorption-isotherm, kinetics and Box-Behnken design.

The adsorption of crystal violet (CV) and malachite green (MG) dyes using carbon-coated Zn-Al-layered double hydroxide (C-Zn-Al LDH) was investigated in this work. The characterisation of both Zn-Al LDH and C-Zn-Al LDH was performed using XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, XPS, FTIR, BET and TGA. The results indicated that carbon particles were effectively coated on Zn-Al LDH surface.

Facile synthesis, growth process, characterisation of a nanourchin-structured α-MnO and their application on ultrasonic-assisted adsorptive removal of cationic dyes: A half-life and half-capacity concentration approach.

Textile dyes pose a serious threat in terms of water pollution due to its complex aromatic structures and poor degradability. In order to reduce the toxic effects of Crystal Violet (CV) and Methylene Blue (MB), an ultrasonic-assisted dye adsorption using urchin like α-MnO nanostructures was studied. The adsorbent was synthesised by hydrothermal method at low-temperature.
