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 ...
Terrestrial nanoparticle contaminants and geospatial optics using the Sentinel-3B OLCI satellite in the Tinto River estuary region of the Iberian Peninsula
(Elsevier Inc., 2023)
The Tinto River is known globally for having a reddish color due to the high concentration of dissolved metals in its waters. The general objective of this study is to analyze the dispersion of nanoparticles (NPs) and ...
Leaching of rare earth elements from phosphogypsum
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
High amounts of phosphogypsum (PG) are generated in the production of phosphoric acid. Previous literature demonstrates that obtaining rare earth elements (REE) from PG is a promising alternative to managing this waste. ...
Chemical evaluation of by-products of the grape industry as potential agricultural fertilizers
(Journal Of Cleaner Production, 2019-06-20)
The grape industry, specifically the wine industry, is generating by-products rich in nutrients, which are underutilized and often end up being polluters of the environment. These byproducts are the bagasse, the stem and ...
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 ...
Pollution from uncontrolled coal fires: Continuous gaseous emissions and nanoparticles from coal mines
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019-01-14)
In this investigation, the coal fires in different Colombian coal mines were studied using advanced
electron beam and X-ray diffraction techniques. The results were compared with information from highresolution transmission ...
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 ...
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 ...
Biophysical matter in a marine estuary identified by the Sentinel-3B OLCI satellite and the presence of terrestrial iron (Fe) nanoparticles
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
The analysis of marine matter using the Sentinel-3B OLCI (Ocean Land Color Instrument) satellite is the most advanced technique for evaluating: the absorption of colored detrital and dissolved material (ADG_443_NN), total ...
