Design and preparation magnetic bio-surfactant rhamnolipid-layered double hydroxide nanocomposite as an efficient and recyclable adsorbent for the removal of Rifampin from aqueous solution

Asiyeh Kheradmand et al.

Summary: In this study, a magnetic core-shell rhamnolipid (MCSR) intercalated cobalt/aluminum layered double hydroxide (LDH) was used for water remediation and rifampin (RIF) removal. The biosurfactants, including rhamnolipid (RL), demonstrated low toxicity and environmental compatibility, and promoted the removal efficiency of the adsorbent. The adsorption process was optimized by considering factors such as pH, initial RIF concentration, contact time, and adsorbent dosage. The RIF removal efficiency was found to be 96%, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 221.30 mg/g. The magnetic property of MCSR-LDH allowed for easy recovery and regeneration of the adsorbent.

Valorization of sawdust by mineral acid assisted hydrothermal carbonization for the adsorptive removal of bisphenol A: A greener approach

Ragavan Chandrasekar et al.

Summary: Sawdust was valorized through acid-assisted hydrothermal carbonization and used for the removal of endocrine disruptor Bisphenol A (BPA). The addition of acid during hydrothermal carbonization improved the removal efficiency of BPA. Two different hydrochars were prepared using different feed water solutions, and the acid-assisted hydrothermal carbonized hydrochar showed better performance in BPA removal. The adsorption of BPA onto the hydrochar could be explained by the Freundlich isotherm, followed pseudo-second-order kinetics, and was exothermic and spontaneous.
