Abstract Microplastics (MPs), as carriers of organic pollutants in the environment, have become a growing public concern recent years. Tetracycline (TTC) is an antibiotic that can be absorbed by MPs and harmful effect on human health. Therefore, this study was conducted with aim investigating adsorption rate TTC onto polyvinyl chloride (PVC) MPs. In addition, mechanism process studied using isothermal, kinetic, thermodynamic models. For purpose, experimental runs Box-Behnken model were...

Abstract MPs have raised significant public concern due to their role as carriers of organic contaminants in aqueous solutions. DZN is a non-systemic organophosphorus pesticide that poses risks human and environmental health. This study aimed investigate the adsorption onto PE by examining factors such dose, reaction time, concentration, pH through experimental runs based on Box‒Behnken model. According Langmuir model, maximum capacity for was 0.35 mg/g. The results indicated highest rate...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are currently recognized as unique platforms for environmental studies. This study evaluated the potential of nine MOFs from ZIF-8, ZIF-67, and UIO-66 families removal ciprofloxacin (CIP), a toxic, bio-accumulative, persistent fluoroquinolone antibiotic. ZIF-67-SO4, with rhombic crystalline morphology 1375 m2/g BET surface area, has highest CIP adsorption efficiency among studied MOFs. The mathematical sorption model predicted that (99.2%) occurs when...

Abstract Adsorption of RR141 (an anionic dye) was carried out onto Melia Azaderach sawdust (MAS) in solutions containing low concentrations calcium ions. The effect dye concentration, solution pH, Ca 2+ adsorbent dose, and contact time investigated by response surface methodology. results showed that adding 50 mg L −1 ions, the decolorization rate increased 3 fold. Cation bridging between anions negatively charged sites MAS recognized as main mechanism for enhanced removal. Higher removal...
