Sustainable green nanoadsorbents for remediation of pharmaceuticals from water and wastewater: A critical review

One-Step Carbonization Synthesis of Magnetic Biochar with 3D Network Structure and Its Application in Organic Pollutant Control

“…Bio-remediation [ 9 ], membrane treatment [ 10 ], precipitation [ 11 ], microbial degradation [ 12 ], and other technologies have been used to remove pollutants from water, but most of the treatment technologies often make it difficult to effectively and thoroughly treat these organic pollutants. Adsorption and catalysis technologies have attracted extensive attention because of their low cost, easy operation, safety, and control [ 13 ].…”

Novel easily separable core–shell Fe3O4/PVP/ZIF-8 nanostructure adsorbent: optimization of phosphorus removal from Fosfomycin pharmaceutical wastewater

“…12 Several pollutants like phosphates, methylene blue, Cu(II), and Cd(II) were removed by using nano-adsorbent materials such as zero-valent iron nanoparticles in both pristine and encapsulated forms, magnetite nanoparticles, ., etc. [13][14][15][16][17][18] Recently, sustainable green nano adsorbents, 19 and sustainable photocatalytic membranes 20 have been used for water and wastewater remediation of pharmaceuticals. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) attracted large attention due to their applications in energy generation, 21 catalytic degradation, 22 gas storage, 23,24 gas/heavy metal adsorption, [25][26][27] chemical catalysis, 28 and environmental remediation.…”

Seasonal changes and determination of heavy metal concentrations in Veshaw river of the Indian western Himalaya

“…The unplanned and unregulated development of urbanisation during the last two decades has resulted in the degradation of environmental health, particularly in developing countries like India (Rauf et al, 2009;Madhav et al, 2020;Bano et al, 2022). A number of anthropogenic activities may alter the dynamic properties of lotic ecosystems by adding heavy metals to the water bodies (Cortecci et al, 2009;Bhat et al, 2011;Hasan et al, 2021;Khan et al, 2022). The presence of heavy metals in water is considered devastating and disturbs the aquatic system due to their toxicity, persistence, non-degradability, and bio-accumulation properties.…”
