Chitosan-based Water Treatment

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in finding innovative and sustainable solutions to address water pollution and scarcity. One of the emerging technologies in this field is the use of chitosan-based materials for water treatment. Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from the shells of crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs, and it […]

Biochar for Phosphate Removal from Water

Excess phosphate in water bodies can lead to eutrophication, causing algal blooms that reduce oxygen levels and threaten aquatic ecosystems. Removing phosphate from wastewater, agricultural runoff, and other point sources before they enter natural water systems is an essential strategy for preventing eutrophication. Biochar, a porous carbonaceous material produced by pyrolyzing biomass under oxygen-limited conditions, […]
