With increasing urbanization and industrialization, growing amounts of industrial waste, such as red mud (RM), fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BFS), steel slag (SS), and sludge, are being produced, exposing substantial threats to the environment and human health. Given that numerous researchers associate with conventional adsorbents, developing and utilizing industrial wastes derived from adsorption technology still has received limited attention. Utilizing this waste contributes to developing alternative materials with superior performance and significantly reduces the volume of solid waste.

The survival of humanity is severely threatened by the massive accumulation of waste in the ecosystem. One plausible solution for the management and upcycling of waste is conversing waste at the molecular level and deriving carbon-based nanomaterial. The field of carbon nanomaterials with distinctive properties, such as exceptionally large surface areas, good thermal and chemical stability, and improved propagation of charge carriers, remains a significant area of research.

Herein, we have reported a photocatalytic BiOI, protonated g-CN heterojunction with directional charge transfer channels provided by tea waste biochar to achieve effective e/h pair isolation for the improved degradation of Methylene blue (MB) and Doxycycline hydrochloride (DCHCl). An S-scheme heterojunction was fabricated via the novel method that combined hydrothermal and ultrasonic dispersion, followed by an electrostatic self-assembly route. The as-fabricated BiOI/protonated g-CN/Tea waste biochar heterojunction formed a strong contact at the interface, as supported by the electron microscopic results.

Plastics are widely employed in modern civilization because of their durability, mold ability, and light weight. In the recent decade, micro/nanoplastics research has steadily increased, highlighting its relevance. However, contaminating micro/nanoplastics in marine environments, terrestrial ecosystems, and biological organisms is considered a severe threat to the environmental system.

This study aimed to produce a novel efficient absorbent using sludge generated from drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) as a low-cost absorbent and applied to treat nitrate (NO) from contaminated water. Before the ZrO coating experiment, the drinking water sludge (DWS) from DWTPs was pretreated by thermal treatment (80 °C, 200 °C, and 500 °C). After that, ZrO coated drinking water sludge (DWS@ZrO) was produced by a simple precipitated reaction.

Photocatalytic hybrid carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-mediated Ag-CuBiO/BiWO photocatalyst was fabricated using a hydrothermal technique to effectively eliminate organic pollutants from wastewater. The as-prepared samples were characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), UV-vis Diffuse Reflectance spectrum (UV-Vis DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) studies. The photocatalytic performance of fabricated pristine and hybrid composites was examined by photo-degradation of toxic dye viz.

This study aims to evaluate the performance of the electro-Fenton process (EFP) using drinking water treatment sludge (DWTS) for the treatment of dyeing wastewater. Effects of operating parameters including pH, electrode distance, applied voltage, operation temperature and time on the electro-Fenton-oxidation of dyeing wastewater were investigated. The decolorization and COD degradation efficiencies of 97.

In the present work, a three-dimensional electrode reactor (3Der) using pallet activated carbon (PAC), as particle electrodes, was investigated to degrade non-biodegradable organic pollutants in pharmaceutical wastewater and steel industry wastewater. The effect of operating parameters, such as pH, electrode distance, O flow rate, and current density was investigated. The TOC removal efficiency in 3Der was achieved at the highest mineralization yield of 94.
