We report the preparation and characterization of a novel nanocomposite adsorbent for anionic dye removal. The nanocomposite adsorbent was prepared by heterocoagulation of delaminated bentonite and layered double hydroxide (LDH) colloids. The effects of preparation conditions, LDH loading, particle size, and calcination temperature of the modified material on the physicochemical properties of this composite adsorbent have been investigated. The optimal conditions for best Reactive Yellow 2 (RY2) dye removal efficiency are a weight ratio of LDH to bentonite of 1:1, LDH particle size 100 nm, and calcination temperature 673 K. The adsorption equilibrium data can be fitted well by the widely accepted adsorption isotherm models.

The increasing prevalence of micropollutants like cationic and anionic dyes in wastewater creates an influential environmental challenge, mainly due to their toxic effects and persistence. Current methods often lack the efficiency and versatility to cope with a wide variety of contaminants. This study explores the modification of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) using (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) to enhance their cationic properties.

An on-site, sensitive, and cost-effective method for determining aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in rice samples is proposed, combining magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) and time-resolved fluorescence immunochromatography (TRFICA) techniques. Cost-effective rice husks were carbonized and combined with nanomaterials to make magnetic nanocomposites that acted as effective adsorbents in MSPE. Under optimal conditions, the entire process was completed in 15 min with a visual detection limit of 0.

This work presents a convenient and easy-to-operate method for synthesizing the functionally integrated nanocomposite of nitrogen-doped multi walled carbon nanotube networks (N-CNTs) and cobalt 2-methylimidazole (ZIF-67) nanoparticles. The N-CNTs@ZIF-67 nanocomposite was utilized to design a novel electrochemical sensing platform for detecting gallic acid (GA). The N-CNTs@ZIF-67 modified glass carbon electrode (GCE) demonstrated high sensitivity for GA electrochemical detection (LOD: 10.

In the current work, three adsorbent materials were developed: biochar derived from date palm fiber (C), date palm fiber biochar/chitosan nanoparticles (CCS), and biochar/chitosan nanoparticle composite supplemented with glutamine (CCSG). These compounds were used as solid adsorbents to remove As from polluted water. Several characterization approaches were used to investigate all the synthesized solid adsorbents, including thermogravimetric analysis, N adsorption/desorption isotherm, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), attenuated total reflectance with Fourier transform infrared, and zeta potential.
