“…To bleach fiber for the synthesis of white MCC, fibers derived from alkali treatment were added to 0.5L of 0.5% NaClO and boiled for 30 minutes, filtrate and washed with abundant water, dried in air and ambient laboratory temperature for two or three days depending on ambient temperature and moisture in MCC, then ground with a household grinder. This preparation method was carried out according to Abbas [26].…”

Different synthesized materials either irradiated or non-irradiated were examined in the laboratory to identify its characteristics as efficient absorbers in removing Pb, Cd, and Cu from contaminated water. Bio-based polymers are gaining overwhelming interest and recognition worldwide due to the health, safety, and environmental concerns associated with the conventional synthetic polymers. These bio-based polymers are renewable, biodegradable, and environmentally-friendly. The characterization analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of the investigated materials. The processing of rice straw was effective in removing silica and hemicellulose and leaving microcrystalline cellulose with an accepted level of purification. Vulcanized used fried oil was efficient to produce polysulphide polymer. Results gained from this laboratory work indicated that irradiated sorbents were more effective on the sorption of Pb, Cd and Cu especially those exposed to lower doses compared to the non-irradiated sorbents. At a high gamma ray dose (50 KGy), some sorbents showed inhabitation effect on sorption behavior and also removal efficiencies. It can be concluded that rice straw and fried oil can be used to synthesize suitable sorbents to remove contaminants from the water, and gamma radiation treatment was effective to improve contaminants removal.

“…In addition, it is a vital golden key to every country's growth (Abdelhafez et al 2020). As a result, one of the primary problems limiting Egypt's sustainability is a shortage of water (Abbas et al 2021).The Nile River is Egypt's most important water resource, accounting for around 80% of the country's water budget (55.5 billion m 3 year -1 ). This fixed water share is insufficient to meet Egyptian demands (Farid et al 2014); nevertheless, owing to competition for water resources with the upper Nile basin countries, this share is expected to be considerably decreased (Abdelhafez et al 2021).…”

AMPLES of water, sediments and aquatic plants were collected from different sites along EL-Gharbia main drain. The sampling processes were carried out seasonally. The collected samples were subjected for a series of analyses, in terms of total and available contents of macro nutrients and potentially toxic elements (PTEs), biological investigation (pathogens contents) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD). Water samples taken at most of the study sites during the year can be regarded acceptable for agricultural use, but only under particular conditions. On the other hand, these waters are not appropriate for agricultural use from a biological point of view. Enrichment factor (EF) values of the sediments were low for Mn, Zn, Co, B, Co, Cr, Ni and Pb in all seasons and at most sites. Unlike the EF values of the aforementioned PTEs, the enrichment factor for cadmium was generally, high at most sites within the four seasons. EF values of Pb were moderate at most sites. The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) values of the shoot of aquatic plants were generally, high for all elements in all seasons; except for Mn and Pb in summer and winter seasons at some sites, Zn in winter season at some sites, Cu and Ni in all seasons at some sites, and Co in autumn and winter seasons. The BCF values of the roots were high for all the elements in all seasons; except for Cu in the summer and winter seasons at some sites, Zn in the winter season at some sites, and Pb in summer season at some sites. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that these metals were originated from natural (Cd, Co, B and Cu) and anthropogenic (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Ni and Cr) sources.
