Efficient removal of naproxen from aqueous solution by highly porous activated carbon produced from Grapetree (Plinia cauliflora) fruit peles
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
In this work, jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora) fruit peels were pyrolyzed in the presence of zinc chloride to generate a novel porous adsorbent to remove naproxen (NPX) from aqueous solutions. The maximum adsorption capacity ...
Application of Andesite Rock as a Clean Source of Fertilizer for Eucalyptus Crop: Evidence of Sustainability
(Universidad de la Costa, 2020-02-05)
Global demineralization of agricultural soils due to unsustainable use of highly soluble fertilizers and intensive exploitation is an issue of increasing concern. Methods of remineralization include the application of ...
Nanominerals assemblages and hazardous elements assessment in phosphogypsum from an abandoned phosphate fertilizer industry
(Universidad de la Costa, 2020)
The present work investigates hazardous elements and nanomineralogical assemblages of phosphogypsum waste from an abandoned phosphate fertilizer industry located in Santa Catarina state (Brazil). Correlations between the ...
Formation of carbon quantum dots and graphene nanosheets from different abundant carbonaceous materials
(Universidad de la Costa, 2020-03-20)
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and graphene nanosheets (GNs) are one of the most attractive fluorescent carbon nano-sized materials with unique features of optical and physico-chemical properties having various applications ...
Treatment of residual lubricating oil using rice husk-based material as ecological adsorbent
(Springer Japan, 2023)
One of the most significant environmental problems the world population faces is the inadequate disposal of petroleum derivatives. Lubricant oil is a hazardous waste due to its properties and characteristics. This study ...
Composition And Porosity Study Of Original And Restoration Materials Included In A Coastal Historical Construction
(Construction and Building Materials, 2018-05-22)
The materials used for the building constructions can suffer during their life numerous deterioration processes induced by different anthropogenic and natural factors. For this reason, optimal restoration works are vitally ...
In vitro genotoxic effect of secondary minerals crystallized in rocks from coal mine drainage
(Journal Of Hazardous Materials, 2018-03)
Coal processing generates a large volume of waste that can damage human health and the environment. Often these wastes produce acid drainage in which several minerals are crystallized (evaporites). This study aimed to ...
Understanding the mobility of potential nutrients in rock mining by-products: An opportunity for more sustainable agriculture and mining
(Universidad de la Costa, 2020-03-25)
The increase in demand for highly soluble fertilizers brings a global sustainability concern. Alternative sources for traditional fertilization are therefore needed. Rock powder use has been proposed as an alternative ...
Green β-cyclodextrin nanosponges for the efficient adsorption of light rare earth elements: cerium and lanthanum
(Elsevier, 2023-06-15)
During the past decades, the removal and recovery of Lanthanum (La) and cerium (Ce) have attracted considerable interest owing to their importance in several industrial processes. In the present work, green nanosponge ...
Copper decreases associative learning and memory in Drosophila melanogaster
(Universidad de la Costa, 2019-11-24)
Copper is an essential element to all living organisms. Repeated use of metal-enriched chemicals, fertilizers, and organic substances may cause contamination at a large scale. Altered levels of Cu2+ may result in harmful ...
