Natural core-shell structure activated carbon beads derived from Litsea glutinosa seeds for removal of methylene blue: Facile preparation, characterization, and adsorption properties

pH-triggered degradation and release of doxorubicin from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF8) decorated with polyacrylic acid

“…Zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF8) is a class of porous materials that have been the focus of considerable interest because of their potential applications in adsorption processes, gas storage, catalysis, and drug delivery systems. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The rotational angle of the 2-methylimidazolate linker through the two nitrogen atoms leads to the exibility of the ZIF8 framework. [8][9][10][11] The systematic variations of linker substituents can yield widely diverse framework structures that allow for the rational design of surface properties.…”

Effective reduction of nitrophenols and colorimetric detection of Pb(ii) ions by Siraitia grosvenorii fruit extract capped gold nanoparticles

“…Heavy metals and organic substances are considered as the major pollutants in wastewater, and have caused many serious problems for the environment and human health. 1–3 Heavy metals like Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , Hg 2+ , Ni 2+ , and Cr 6+ , even at trace level concentrations, in water bodies have been reported to be potential environmental pollutants. 4 Delay in detecting and estimating these metal contaminants in biological systems and the aquatic environment could cause several health issues in humans.…”

Silk Sericin Enrichment through Electrodeposition and Carbonous Materials for the Removal of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution

“…Several techniques, including biodegradation [2], filtration [3], and photocatalyst degradation [4], have been applied for the removal of dyes from the wastewater. Among those techniques, adsorption removal of dyes by carbonaceous adsorbent, derived from natural biomass and industrial by-products, has the advantages of simple operation and low-cost [5].…”
