“…[49,50] Although the size of such adsorbents is not always nanometer, there are reports of composite materials with agricultural wastes and nanomaterials such as activated carbon. [51][52][53][54] The carbon-based nanoadsorbents most used are activated carbon (AC), biochar, and materials of the graphene family. Activated carbons of various origins have been applied for the removal of pesticides such as hexadichlorocyclohexane, 2,4-D, bentazom, carbaryl, dieldrin, chlorpyrifos, oxamyl, and carbendazim.…”

Nations (FAO) estimates that approximately 40% of food crops are lost each year to plant pests and diseases. [2] These losses result in a shortfall in crop yields for sufficient food production, causing significant economic consequences. [1,2] Over the years, various anthropogenic activities, together with climate change, have led to alterations in ecosystems that cause considerable damage in areas such as agriculture. The reduction in biodiversity and the creation of new niches are some of these effects that allow, among other things, the rapid spread of pests. [1,2] Therefore, plant protection in agricultural crops is crucial for avoiding the impacts caused by devastating pests and diseases.Agricultural activities face the dual challenges of, on the one hand, becoming more productive and, on the other hand, reducing their impacts on the environment as much as possible. In the case of the former, the use of chemical products such as pesticides is often essential for the control of crop diseases and pests, [2][3][4] improving crop yields and providing greater food security for society. However, although the use of pesticides brings important benefits, including reduced crop damage and, consequently, increased food quality and quantity, these substances have detrimental effects on the environment. [5][6][7] One of the negative effects of the use of chemical pesticides in agricultural systems is the impact on water resources, [1,7] depending on factors including the nature of the compound used, the mode of application, and climatic variations. [1,7] The low degradability of pesticides enables them to accumulate in the soil or to be transported to surface water and groundwater, causing further environmental damage. Although the soil is the main receptor medium for these chemicals, water resources including rivers, streams, lakes, and groundwater are highly susceptible to contamination, due to the interconnection between water bodies and soil. The persistence of these compounds resulting from agricultural practices in hydrographic basins is a threat to human health. [1,4,7] Contamination of groundwater by pesticides and their residues is recognized as a problem in both advanced and developing countries. [2,8] Consequently, the scientific community faces a continuous challenge to develop suitable materials, together with new and more efficient technologies, for the

Arsenic is a toxic element that is often found in drinking water in developing countries in Asia, while arsenic poisoning is a serious worldwide human health concern. The objective of this work is to remove arsenic (V) (As(V)) from water by using an adsorbent material prepared from mine waste, called MIRESORBTM, which contains Fe, Al. The performance of the MIRESORBTM adsorbent was compared with granular ferric hydroxide (GFH), which is a commercial adsorbent. Adsorbents were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and N2 sorption with Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. The kinetics, isotherms, and pH-dependency of arsenic adsorption were interrogated to gain insights into arsenic adsorption processes. The maximum adsorption capacity of MIRESORBTM was 50.38 mg/g, which was higher than that of GFH (29.07 mg/g). Moreover, a continuous column test that used environmental samples of acid mine drainage was conducted to evaluate the MIRESORBTM material for practical applications. The column could be operated for more than 5840 bed volumes without a breakthrough. Successful operation of a pilot plant using MIRESORBTM adsorbent was also reported. Thus, these studies demonstrate MIRESORBTM as a highly efficient and economical adsorbent derived from recycled mine sludge waste.

“…12 The degradation products of NNIs may pose a threat of their own 13 regarding their environmental fate; therefore, remediation procedures that are based on physical processes are given special attention. The adsorption of NNIs was investigated on different materials such as activated carbon synthesized from tangerine peels, 14 functionalized carbon nanocones, 15 carbon monoliths 16 and a wide range of MCM and Y porous adsorbents. 17 In order to solve several emerging problems, Semyonov et al proposed recycling polyethylene terephthalate as a support for metal–organic framework growth and subsequent imidacloprid removal in a fixed-bed system.…”
