Hybrid Bio-Inorganic Materials for Environmental Remediation

Sher Wali Khan, Rifhat Bibi

New Environmentally-Friendly Materials · 73-88 · 10.55121/nefm.v2i1.858

Environmental pollution from heavy metals, persistent organic compounds, and emerging contaminants poses a growing threat to ecosystems and human health. Remediation processes have typically been associated with high costs, low selectivity, and secondary wastes, prompting a search for greener solutions. Mixed into renewable biop

Sawdust as an Environmentally Friendly Adsorbent

Muhammad Anis Aslam, Idrees Khan

New Environmentally-Friendly Materials · 83-101 · 10.55121/nefm.v1i1.862

Sawdust, an abundant byproduct of the wood processing industry, has gained attention as a sustainable, low-cost adsorbent for water and wastewater treatment. Its lignocellulosic composition—rich in cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin—provides a variety of functional groups capable of binding a wide range of contaminants, includ
