Sustainable conversion of saturated adsorbents (SAs) from wastewater into value-added products: future prospects and challenges with toxic per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)

Application of neural network in metal adsorption using biomaterials (BMs): a review

“…[63][64][65][66] The reutilization of saturated biomaterials into value-added products has been reported in detail by authors in their earlier research. 7 The experimental adsorption studies that depict various aspects of metals adsorption relevant for ANN modelling are given below:…”

“…2 The literature has proposed physicochemical technologies like reverse osmosis, ion exchange, electrodialysis and adsorption to eliminate metallic ions from water resources and industrial effluents. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Among these technologies, adsorption is the best-suited method for treating water and wastewater due to its high efficiency with low economics. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] The selection and fabrication of sustainable adsorbents for the eradication of water pollutants include the following criteria: (1) it should be inexpensive and (2) simple to synthesize in large quantities, (3) it should demonstrate high adsorption capacity and most importantly, (4) it should cause no harm to the environment.…”

Which Is More Environmentally Friendly? A Comparative Analysis of the Environmental Benefits of Two Waste-to-Energy Technologies for Plastics Based on an LCA Model

“…The construction materials, energy input, and waste pollutants are the material flow boundaries of inputs and outputs. The operation phase refers to the operation cycle within the service life of the equipment, including energy input, material input, product output, and the waste pollutants generation phase [24]. The pre-processing stage has similar steps and similar input-output lists; therefore, this part was ignored in the comparative analysis [25,26].…”

Fabrication of biodegradable fibrous systems employing electrospinning technology for effluent treatment

“…With the introduction of various material systems, researchers from various research domains are working on introducing and fabricating efficacious systems for treating effluents and removing the toxic contaminants discharged by various industries. [32][33][34] Electrospinning is a method for the fabrication of composite bers, which enables the fabrication of bers as ne as 9 nm 35 and is gaining signicant attention in scientic research due to the prompt evolution of nanotechnology. 36 This fabrication method is an efficient technique for the fabrication of various systems with exceptional properties such as high surface area and porosity, which are necessary for effluent removal.…”
