A series of bamboo hydrochars were prepared through acid-assisted and two-stage hydrothermal carbonization, characterized and evaluated for the adsorption of Congo red and 2-naphthol in aqueous solutions. The hydrochars have rough surfaces with BET surface areas of 6.77-57.74 m/g and oxygen-rich functional groups. The additives in feed water revealed critical influences on the physical-chemical and adsorption properties of the hydrochars. The hydrochars can adsorb the two organics effectively, the highest adsorption capacities for Congo red and 2-naphthol are 90.51 and 72.93 mg/g, respectively, at 0.1 mg/mL and 298 K. The adsorption of the two organics on the selected hydrochars is a spontaneous and mainly physical adsorption process. 95% and 92% of the adsorption equilibrium could be accomplished in one hour for Congo red and 2-naphthol on the selected hydrochars, respectively. This study provides references for the production and application of hydrochars as efficient adsorbents in wastewater treatment.

Background: Onchocerciasis, or river blindness, is one of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) that the WHO has set out to eliminate. To reach this elimination target, a number of challenges must be met, and the essential measures set out in the road map for NTDs 2021-2030 must be implemented. More than 99% of infected people live in 31 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

The escalating discharge of textile wastewater with plenty of dye and salt has resulted in serious environmental risks. Membranes assembled from two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with many tunable interlayer spacings are promising materials for dye/salt separation. However, the narrow layer spacing and tortuous interlayer transport channels of 2D-material-based membranes limit the processing capacity and the permeability of small salt ions for efficient dye/salt separation.

Natural wastes and inorganic adsorbents are used for the removal of diazo dye Congo red (CR), which causes water pollution and is a carcinogen, from wastewater. Organic waste olive pulp (ZK), inorganic ZrO (Zr) and three different weight percent ZK/Zr (organic/inorganic) binary adsorbent systems prepared by ball-milling method were investigated for the effective removal of CR from wastewater. Characterization of both single and binary adsorbent systems were carried out by ATR/FTIR and SEM.

LDH was synthesized utilizing the co-precipitation technique and was thermally treated at 300 °C. The prepared compounds were chemically and structurally elucidated using FT-IR, XRD, SEM, BET, TG-DTA, and XPS characterization.
