Green Remediation of Carbamazepine from Water Using Novel Magnetic Iron Modified Carbonized Baggasse: Kinetics, Equilibrium and Mechanistic Studies
Okello, Veronica A.; Kimosop, Selly J.; Getenga, Zakari M.; Orata, Francis; Shikuku, Victor O. (SCIENCE DOMAIN, 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 ... -
Reduction and Degradation of Paraoxon in Water Using Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles
Okello, Veronica A.; K’Owino, Isaac O.; Masika, Kevin; Shikuku, Victor O. (MDPI, 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
Selly, Jemutai Kimosop; Okello, Veronica A.; Shikuku, Victor O.; Orata, Francis; Getenga, Zachary M. (Elsevier, 2022-09-01)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. ...
