Abstract

Biosorption of toxic pollutants onto raw or treated agro-wastes-based materials has been identified as a good alternative to existing costly processes, such as chemical precipitation, ion exchange, membrane filtration, coagulation, flotation, and electrochemical treatment techniques. This work provides a short review of using raw and modified almond shell-based materials for the removal of metals ions, dyes, and other pollutants from water. Applications of available equilibrium (isotherms) and kinetic models as well as influences of crucial parameters (e.g., pH and contact time) on toxic pollutants uptake by almond shell-based materials have been reviewed. This study is the first mini-review on the use of almond shell-based adsorbents for aquatic toxic pollutants removal.
