Abstract
The presence of metronidazole (MNZ) and acetaminophen (ACE) in aquatic environments has raised growing concerns regarding their potential impact on human health. Incorporating various patterns into a photocatalytic material is considered a critical approach to achieving enhanced photocatalytic efficiency in the photocatalysis process. In this study, WO3 nanoparticles, which were immobilized onto ferromagnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes that were functionalized using (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (FMMWCNTs@GLYMO@WO3), exhibited remarkable efficiency in removing MNZ and ACE (93% and 97%) in only 15 min. In addition, the new visible-light FMMWCNTs@GLYMO@WO3 nanoparticles as a magnetically separable photocatalyst were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), EDS-mapping, vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and total organic carbon (TOC) due to detailed studies (morphological, structural, magnetic and optical properties) of the photocatalyst. In-depth spectroscopic and microscopic characterization of the newly developed ferromagnetic FMMWCNTs@GLYMO@WO₃ (III) photocatalyst revealed a spherical morphology, with nanoparticle diameters averaging between 23 and 39 nm. Compared to conventional multiwall carbon nanotube and WO₃ photocatalysts, FMMWCNTs@GLYMO@WO₃ (III) demonstrated superior photocatalytic activity. Remarkably, it exhibited excellent reusability, maintaining its efficiency over a minimum of five cycles in the degradation of metronidazole (MNZ) and acetaminophen (ACE).

Abstract
In this research, cobalt (Co)/molybdenum (Mo) and nickel (Ni) doped with titanium dioxide (TiO2) were loaded onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Then, the magnetization catalyst, iron oxide (Fe3O4), was loaded on them, which was used for the deep desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT). These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, differential reflectance spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, Barrett–Joyner–Halenda, and vibrating sample magnetometer techniques. The photocatalytic activity of these catalysts was experienced under visible light using DBT. The response surface methodology based on the Box–Behnken design was used to evaluate parameters, including catalyst dosage (g), time (min), and concentration of DBT (mg L−1). The highest degradation efficiency under optimal conditions for CoMoNi/TiO2/MWCNTs/Fe3O4 catalysts with a catalyst dosage of 0.3 g, a time of 180 min, and a concentration of 50 mg L−1 was 99.99%. Optimum conditions were studied for desulfurization of the gas condensate. The highest desulfurization efficiency (90.33%) was obtained by the CoMoNi/TiO2/MWCNTs/Fe3O4 catalyst.

Abstract
The existence of hazardous heavy metals in aquatic settings causes health risks to humans, prompting researchers to devise effective methods for removing these pollutants from drinking water and wastewater. To obtain optimum removal efficiencies and sorption capacities of the contaminants on the sorbent materials, it is normally necessary to optimize the purification technology to attain the optimum value of the independent process variables. This review discusses the most current advancements in using various adsorbents for heavy metal remediation, as well as the modeling and optimization of the adsorption process independent factors by response surface methodology. The remarkable efficiency of the response surface methodology for the extraction of the various heavy metal ions from aqueous systems by various types of adsorbents is confirmed in this critical review. For the first time, this review also identifies several gaps in the optimization of adsorption process factors that need to be addressed. The comprehensive analysis and conclusions in this review should also be useful to industry players, engineers, environmentalists, scientists, and other motivated researchers interested in the use of the various adsorbents and optimization methods or tools in environmental pollution cleanup.

Abstract
Among numerous methods developed in purification and separation industries, the adsorption process has received considerable attention due to its inexpensive, facile, and eco-friendly nature. The importance of the adsorption process causes extraordinary endeavors for modeling the adsorption isotherms during the years; thus, myriads of research have been conducted and many reviews have been published. In this paper, we have attempted to gather the most widely used adsorption isotherms and their related definitions, along with examples of correlated work of the recent decade. In the present review, 37 adsorption isotherms with about 400 references have been collected from the research published in the period of 2010-2020. The adsorption isotherms utilized are alphabetically organized for ease of access. The parameters of each isotherm, as well as the applicable definitions, are presented in the table, in addition to being discussed in the text. Another table is provided for the practical use of researchers, featuring the usage of the related isotherms in peer-reviewed studies.
