I'm delighted to announce that my research paper, titled "Removal of Microplastics from Aqueous Media Using Activated Jute Stick Charcoal," has been published in Heliyon (Elsevier, H-Index: 50, Impact Factor: 3.4, Cite Score: 5.6; Q1). You can read the full paper here: [https://lnkd.in/gHYaA3Qt] This study explores an efficient and eco-friendly method for combating microplastics pollution in water, a growing concern for both human health and the environment. We developed a novel jute stick-activated charcoal (JSAC) through a high-temperature pyrolysis process followed by chemical activation. The resulting JSAC demonstrated remarkable adsorption capacity for polyvinylchloride-based microplastics (PVC-MPs), achieving up to 94.12% removal within 120 minutes under optimal conditions. Our research delves into the adsorption kinetics, isotherm models, and the underlying interactions driving this process, offering promising insights for water treatment technologies. I am grateful to Prof. Dr. A. B. M. Mamun Jamal sir & co-authors for the support and collaboration that made this work possible. #research #environmentalscience #microplastics #Sustainabilityity #innovation #Heliyon #KUET #DepartmentOfChemistry #microplastics_solution_Ltd. #Nur_Alom.
