“…CTS-MMT with a mass ratio of 0.25 showed the highest adsorption amount (150 mg/g) at 12 hr. The adsorption potential of CTS-MMT for cobalt in this study was compared with that of other reported adsorbents as summarized in Table 1 ( Manohar et al, 2006;Yavuz et al, 2003;Parab et al, 2006;Anoop Krishnan and Anirudhan, 2008;Ahmadpour et al, 2009;Suhasini et al, 1999;Erdem et al, 2004;Smiciklas et al, 2006;Repo et al, 2009;Bhatnagar et al, 2010). It can be seen that the prepared adsorbent in this study shows good performance for cobalt removal, which might be related to the combination of the advantages of both CTS and MMT.…”

“…The cellulosic adsorbents that have been used for metal removal are rice husk [37], banana peel [38], wheat straw [39], grape bagasse [40], corn stalk [41], coir pith [42], bel fruit shells [43], corn cob [44], and hemp fibers [45]. The majority of cellulosic waste is constituted by cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin.…”

In the last decade, Mozambique became one of the top coal producers in Africa. The coal mines are in Moatize district in the center of the country, inside the lower Zambezi river basin. Pollution due to mining activities has negative impacts in agriculture, fishing, water supply, and presents risks to public health. Mozambique is one of the largest cassava producers in the world. More than 1.5 million tons of cassava peel are generated in the country and this agrowaste is discarded. The aim of this study is to discuss the possibility of using cassava peel to treat mine water. Cassava peel can be used as carbon sources for sulfate reducing bacteria in bioremediation, as an adsorbent and as a filter medium. An integrated method is proposed for treatment of mine water in Moatize. It was suggested that applying cassava peel generated in developing countries for treatment of mine water could be a good solution to protect the environment against mining pollution.

“…Further, it was observed that the rate of adsorption was higher in the initial stages, because of the metal uptake onto exterior surface. After that the metal ions are entered into pores (interior surface), [9]. This is due to an increase in the driving force of the concentration gradient, as an increase in the initial metal ion concentration, mass transfer driving force became larger and the interaction between the metal and adsorbent was enhanced, hence resulting in higher adsorption capacity [10].…”
