In this work, date palm waste (DPW) stemming from the annual pruning of date palm was used as a reinforcing filler in polypropylene matrix at 20–60 wt.%. Only a grinding process of the DPW has been performed to ensure no residue generation and full utilization. The present work investigates how the DPW use affects mechanical properties and water absorption of the ensuing composite. The effect of the addition of maleated polypropylene (MAPP) as a coupling agent on the composite properties was also studied. It was shown that the reinforcing potential of DPW was strongly dependent on aspect ratio and interface quality. The MAPP addition resulted in a composite with higher strength and stiffness than the neat PP, meaning that DPW behaves as reinforcement. The difference in the reinforcing effect was explained by the change in the quality of the interface between date palm waste and the polypropylene polymeric chain.

Abstract Novel carbon nanodots (nCD-DBC) and nano zero-valent iron composites (nZVI-DBC) were synthesized using date palm waste-derived biochar (DBC). The synthesized materials were analyzed for chemical and structural composition by using FTIR, SEM, XRD, and TGA, and evaluated for their methylthioninium chloride dye (MB) removal efficiency from contaminated aqueous solutions. pH 7.0 was found optimum for the highest MB removal in sorption batch studies. Kinetics sorption of MB onto the sorbents was best described by pseudo-second-order (R2 = 0.93–0.99) and Elovich models (R2 = 0.86–0.97) implying that sorption was being controlled by chemisorption. Langmuir model predicted maximum sorption capacities for nCD-DBC, nZVI-DBC, and DBC were 1558.66, 1182.90, and 851.67 mg g−1, respectively, which correlated with the results of kinetics sorption. Likewise, nCD-DBC yielded the highest partition coefficient (7067 mL g−1), followed by nZVI-DBC (1460 mL g−1), and DBC (930 mL g−1). Post-sorption XRD, FTIR, and SEM analyses depicted the binding of MB onto the sorbents. It was suggested that electrostatic interactions, π–π electron donor-accepter interactions, degradation, and diffusion were responsible for MB removal by the synthesized materials. Therefore, the nCD-DBC, nZVI-DBC, and DBC can potentially be used for scavenging MB dye from contaminated aqueous solutions.
