Caffeine and Ciprofloxacin Adsorption from Water onto Clinoptilolite: Linear Isotherms, Kinetics, Thermodynamic and Mechanistic Studies
Ngeno, Emily C.; Shikuku, Victor O.; Orata, Francis; Baraza, Lilechi D.; Kimosop, Selly J. (South African Journal of Chemistry, 2019-01)In this study, clinoptilolite was used to sequester ciprofloxacin (CIP) and caffeine (CAF), two emergent contaminants, from aqueous solution using batch equilibration method and the effects of contact time, pH, initial ... -
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. ... -
