Methylene blue removal with ZnO coated montmorillonite: thermodynamic, kinetic, isotherm and artificial intelligence studies.

In this study, montmorillonite clay was coated with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. The study's primary aim is to investigate the adsorption properties of zinc oxide coated montmorillonite adsorbent against methylene blue (MB), and determine ZnO's effectiveness in adsorption. First, the surface properties of the ZnO-coated montmorillonite (ZnO/MMT) adsorbent were determined by FTIR Spectroscopy, XRD, and SEM/EDS.

Oleander Poisoning as an Example of Self-Medication Attempt.

Background: There is an increasing interest in herbal products as a self-medication method in recent years. Some plant extracts either turn into drugs over time or are consumed directly without treatment. One of these plants is L.
