A microbial consortium which was obtained from lead contaminated soil at a battery recycling plant in South Africa was previously proved to be effective at removing approximately 50% of Pb(II) from solution within the first ...

This study reports on the facile synthesis and viability of sawdust-derived-biochar adsorbent for the effective removal of methylene blue dye pollutant from aqueous medium. The crystallinity, morphology and surface functional ...

Copper sulphide doped zinc sulphide (CuS/ZnS) microporous aggregate nanocomposites were synthesised through one-step solid phase thermal decomposition method. This work focused on the effect of initial solution pH and ...

The water harvesting potential of atmospheric water generators (AWGs) in high-altitude semiarid regions can be diminutive relative to the water generation capacity. Operational parameters for the dehumidification process ...

Investigating the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and the bacterial cultures used within them is an important part of the search for renewable, sustainable energy solutions that can tackle the Earth’s growing energy ...

Cr(VI) reducing microbial species Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus mycoides were isolated from dried sludge collected from sand drying beds at a local wastewater treatment plant in Brits (South ...

Thie current study focused on using a previously published model known to accurately predict the cultivation of Actinobacillus succionogenes on glucose in a NaOH neutralised system, for the prediction of batch system behaviour ...

This study investigates the photocatalytic activity of CuS/ZnS in the degradation of Rhodamine B, an azo dye in textile wastewater generated through processing operations in textile industries which provides significant ...

Partially treated wastewater released into natural water bodies leads to eutrophication which poses a threat to aquatic animals and water supply security. The recovery of nutrients from wastewater, and their subsequent recycling ...

Analysis was conducted on the degradation of indoline present in LB (Luria Bertani broth) broth used as rich growth medium during the bioremoval of Pb(II) using an industrially obtained microbial consortium. Indoline is ...
