Article Synopsis
- Lead and cadmium are harmful to health, so a new adsorbent material called BUT-VER, made from functionalized vermiculite, was developed to remove these metals from water.
- The study optimized various factors affecting the adsorption process and found that the adsorption data matched well with a pseudo-second-order model, indicating efficient removal.
- BUT-VER demonstrated over 99% removal efficiency in real river water within one hour and maintained high efficacy over multiple regeneration cycles, suggesting it's a practical and cost-effective solution for cleaning contaminated water.
Pakistan has remained an energy-deficient country, and most of the industrial sectors are closed due to the loading shedding of electricity. Even though Pakistan is located on the "solar belt" and receives over 2 MWh/m solar irradiation per year with 1500-3000 h of sunshine, unfortunately solar energy is not harnessed to fulfill the energy needs of the country. Solar flat plate collectors (SFPC) are widely employed for collecting solar radiations from the sun.
