Nanoparticles and interfaces with toxic elements in fluvial suspended sediment
(Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
Studies examining nanoparticles (NPs) and hazardous elements (HEs) contained in suspended sediments (SSs) are vital for watershed administration and ecological impact evaluation. The biochemical consequence of titanium-n ...
Adsorptive behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotubes immobilized magnetic nanoparticles for removing selected pesticides from aqueous matrices
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
The present work synthesized two new materials of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT–OH and MWCNT–COOH) impregnated with magnetite (Fe3O4) using solution precipitation methodology. The resulting MWCNT–OH–Mag ...
Toward a mechanistic understanding of adsorption behavior of phenol onto a novel activated carbon composite
(Nature Publishing Group, 2023)
In this research, the solid–liquid adsorption systems for MSAC (PbFe2O4 spinel-activated carbon)-phenol and pristine activated carbon-phenol were scrutinized from the thermodynamics and statistical physics (sta-phy) ...
Pore volume and surface diffusion model (PVSDM) applied for single and binary dye adsorption systems
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2022)
The PVSDM model was used for single and binary dye adsorption systems. This model is commonly used for adsorption in single systems, but this is the first time used in a binary mixture of dyes in the literature. To that ...
Trends in bioactive multilayer films: perspectives in the use of polysaccharides, proteins, and carbohydrates with natural additives for application in food packaging
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-04-19)
The harmful effects on the environment caused by the indiscriminate use of synthetic plastics and the inadequate management of post-consumer waste have given rise to efforts to redirect this consumption to bio-based economic ...
Sustainable release of macronutrients to black oat and maize crops from organically-altered dacite rock powder
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
By-products from the dairy industry and mining activities represent a great environmental overload, which justify research for value-added reuse of these by-products (dairy sludge and dacite rock powder). Dairy sludge is ...
Titanium nanoparticles in sedimented dust aggregates from urban children’s parks around coal ashes wastes
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
Recently, an increased interest in nanoscience applications can be observed in various fields. Soils around coal power plants may contain potentially hazardous elements (PHEs) and nanoparticles (NPs), which can be neo-produced ...
Highly furosemide uptake employing magnetic graphene oxide: DFT modeling combined to experimental approach
(Elsevier, 2023)
Furosemide (FUR) is a diuretic employed in hypertension treatment, this drug is excreted in unchanged form by human body which contributes to water contamination and toxic effects for humans and the environment. Due to the ...
Euterpe oleracea-based biochar for clonazepam adsorption: synthesis, characterization, adsorption properties, and toxicity assays
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2023-02-25)
The consumption of açaí fruit (Euterpe oleracea) has largely increased worldwide, resulting in a significant increase in the demand for its pulp. As a result, the small producing communities end up with large amounts of ...
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 ...
