Valonia tannin (VT) was gelated through polymerization with formaldehyde to prepare an adsorbent, which was found effective to remove Ag+ from aqueous solution. The adsorption-desorption behaviors of valonia tannin resin ...

This paper describes the adsorption of Al3+ ions from aqueous solutions, by natural clay (from Sakarya's Yenigun district) and coconut shell modified by means of acid treatment. Batch experiments were carried out to determine ...

This paper is about glitters, one of the sources of primary microplastics, which, in turn, are deemed an emerging source of pollutants affecting the environment. Today, most glitters available on the market are essentially ...

The adsorption of linear alkyl benzene suiphonate (LAS) onto microplastics has been investigated under laboratory conditions. In order to investigate the efficiency of adsorption on polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) ...

In the nature, the plastics are broken down to smaller pieces, producing microplastics (<5mm), through exposure to elements such as air, wind, sunlight, water, as well as due to anthropogenic effects. Microplastic pollution ...

Pollution of the aquatic environment by micro plastic could be having a massive impact on marine life. As far as the dimensions of the microplastics decrease, the negative effects are also increasing. In this study, the ...

Scientists are on the lookout for a practical model that can serve as a standard for sorting out, identifying, and characterizing microplastics which are common occurrences in water sources and wastewaters. The microbeads ...
