Green Remediation of Carbamazepine from Water Using Novel Magnetic Iron Modified Carbonized Baggasse: Kinetics, Equilibrium and Mechanistic Studies
Kimosop, Selly Jemutai-; Okello, Veronica A.; Orata, Francis; Getenga, Zachary M.; Shikuku, Victor O. (Chemical Science International Journal, 2017-03-15)Baggasse derived biochar magnetically modified with iron (α-Fe2O3-CBG) was fabricated, characterized and applied as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of carbamazepine (CBZ), a pharmaceutically active compound which has ... -
Reduction and Degradation of Paraoxon in Water Using Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles
Okello, Veronica A.; K’Owino, Isaac O.; Masika, Kevin; Shikuku, Victor O. (Sustainability, 2022-08-02)Paraoxon is an emerging organophosphate pollutant that is commonly used as a pesticide and a drug, hence increasing the risk of contamination of water supplies. Its intensive use for vector control has led to pollutions ... -
Synthesis of mesoporous akaganeite functionalized maize cob biochar for adsorptive abatement of carbamazepine: Kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics
Kimosop, SellyJemutai-; Okello, Veronica A.; Shikuku, Victor O.; Orata, Francis; Getenga, Zachary M. (Cleaner Materials journal homepage: www.journals.elsevier.com/cleaner-materials https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clema.2022.100104 Received 16 March 2022; Received in revised form 6 June 2022; Accepted 12 June 2022, 2022-06-17)In this work, akaganeite (β-FeO(OH)) impregnated maize cob biochar (Fe-MCB) was prepared by direct hydrolysis, and its adsorptive potential was tested against aqueous solutions of carbamazepine (CBZ), an emerging contaminant. ... -
