Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Shatirah Akib"
Shatirah Akib's research primarily focuses on the development and application of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) for the removal of heavy metals, particularly mercury, from water using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as functionalized adsorbents.
The studies demonstrate the efficacy of DESs in enhancing the adsorption capabilities of CNTs, showcasing various formulations such as tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide with glycerol and allyl triphenyl phosphonium bromide with glycerol.
Additionally, Akib has explored environmental sciences, including the chemical speciation of metallic elements in mining wastewater and the impact of radionuclide contamination in terrestrial ecosystems, emphasizing the multidisciplinary approach in her research.
