    The novel and facile preparation of magnetically interconnected micro/macroporous structure of monolithic porous carbon adsorbent (MPCA) were designed and presented herein. The synthesis was achieved via conventional freeze-drying and pyrolysis processes. In this study, sodium alginate and wasted black liquor were employed as starting pre-cursors. Sodium alginate acts as a template of materials, whereas black liquor, the wasted product from the paper industry with plentiful of lignin content and alkaline solution, played an essential role in the reinforcement and activation of porosity for the resulting materials. Moreover, both the precursors were well dissolved in Fe<sup>3+</sup> solution, providing a simple addition of a magnetic source in a one-pot synthesis. The interconnected micro/macroporous structures were generated through freeze-drying and, subsequently the pyrolysis process. The obtained cylindrical-shaped monolithic porous carbon adsorbent (MPCA-700) showed high mechanical stability, a high BET specific surface area (902 m<sup>2</sup>/g). Such aforementioned features were considered suitable to make the synthesized monolith as an adsorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions. The maximum adsorption capacity of MPCA-700 towards Pb<sup>2+</sup> ions was 76.34 mg/g at pH 5. The adsorption studies illustrated that adsorption kinetics and isotherm perfectly fitted with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm, respectively. This work presents a promising pro-tocol to reduce the overall costs in the preparation of renewable adsorbents with good adsorption efficiency and regeneration.

    Effect of Sr substitution on structural, magnetic and electrical properties of LaFeO<inf>3</inf> perovskite oxides has been studied. Using the selected Sr doping content (x) from 0.0 to 1.0, perovskite La<inf>1-x</inf>Sr<inf>x</inf>FeO<inf>3</inf> nanopowder was synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method, followed by calcination at 900 °C for 2 h. The synthesized powder was pressed into disks at room temperature and then the disk samples were sintered at 1200 °C for 12 h to obtain a single-phase compound formation and uniaxial compaction. The influence of Sr doping on the phase formation, morphology, ferroelectric and magnetic properties was investigated. The phase formation of the sample changes from orthorhombic at low Sr doping through rhombohedral to cubic for Sr-rich sample as the stoichiometry approached SrFeO<inf>3</inf>. The grains of La<inf>1-x</inf>Sr<inf>x</inf>FeO<inf>3</inf> ceramics revealed an irregular polyhedron shape. SEM-EDS mapping analysis also exhibited the uniform distribution of all elements. The direct energy gap (E<inf>g</inf>) was found to decrease with increasing amounts of Sr doping. Moreover, the La<inf>0.6</inf>Sr<inf>0.4</inf>FeO<inf>3</inf> ceramic exhibited ferromagnetic behavior with saturated magnetization (M<inf>s</inf>) of 0.305 emu/g at room temperature.
