Abstract

Cactus is cultivated in many regions over the world. Because of its chemical composition and its valuable nutritional and biological characteristics, cactus finds applications in different sectors such as the pharmaceutical and the food industries. Interestingly, cactus materials (cladodes, fruit seeds, peel, etc) have been explored for their probable use as adsorbents for the removal of toxic heavy metals and dyes from wastewater. Various preparations methods were used to produce cactus material-based biosorbents. These biosrbents have been investigated and successfully used for the elimination of both heavy metal and dyes from aqueous solutions. Related results showed very promising pollutant removal efficiency associated with an interesting adsorption capacity similar to other materials from various origins. This paper explores various cactus biosorbents preparations. Furthermore, their efficiency in depollution and factors controlling the adsorption capacity will be discussed.

  • Using cactus juice and aloe vera juice as flocculants achieved color removal efficiency above 85%.

    “The color removal efficiency achieved above 85%.”

    From Recent Advances in the Remediation of Textile-Dye-Containing Wastewater: Prioritizing Human Health and Sustainable Wastewater Treatment (2024) · cites this paper as [144]

    Section 4 (Dye removal; page unavailable) reports 93% decolorization using dried, powdered cactus biomass, supporting a color-removal figure above 85%. It does not report that cactus juice and aloe vera juice used as flocculants achieved that result; the reported treatment was adsorption by dried cactus biomass. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Cactus juice and aloe vera juice were employed as flocculants for the treatment of textile effluent.

    “Cactus juice and aloe vera juice were employed as flocculants for the treatment of textile effluent [144].”

    From Recent Advances in the Remediation of Textile-Dye-Containing Wastewater: Prioritizing Human Health and Sustainable Wastewater Treatment (2024) · cites this paper as [144]

    The Dye removal section (page unavailable) reports cactus-derived adsorbents treating textile wastewater, including activated carbon made from cactus pear peels. It does not report cactus juice or aloe vera juice being used as flocculants; the treatment method it describes is adsorption. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Using cactus juice and aloe vera juice as flocculants achieved removal efficiencies of 90% for total solids, suspended particles, and dissolved solids.

    “Furthermore, the removal efficiencies for total solids, suspended particles, and dissolved solids were found to be 90%”

    From Recent Advances in the Remediation of Textile-Dye-Containing Wastewater: Prioritizing Human Health and Sustainable Wastewater Treatment (2024) · cites this paper as [144]

    Section 2 mentions cactus as a possible coagulant or flocculant, but does not report results for cactus juice and aloe vera juice. Section 4 reports 90% sulphate removal using dried cactus cladodes, not 90% removal of total, suspended, or dissolved solids. Searches for the juices and those solids measures found no passage addressing the claimed result. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
