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 ...
Woody residues of the grape production chain as an alternative precursor of high porous activated carbon with remarkable performance for naproxen uptake from water
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2021-10-16)
Activated carbon prepared from grape branches was used as a remarkable adsorbent to uptake naproxen and treat a synthetic mixture from aqueous solutions. The material presented a highly porous texture, a surface area of ...
Effective treatment of hospital wastewater with high-concentration diclofenac and ibuprofen using a promising technology based on degradation reaction catalyzed by Fe0 under microwave irradiation
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-04-02)
Real hospital wastewater was effectively treated by a promising technology based on degradation reaction catalyzed by Fe0 under microwave irradiation in this work. Fe0 powders were synthesized and characterized by different ...
Adsorption performance of food red 17 dye using an eco-friendly material based on luffa cylindrica and chitosan
(Elsevier, 2021-11-22)
Luffa cylindrica (LC), a lignocellulosic material coveted for its versatility, was investigated to immobilize crosslinked chitosan and remove Food red 17 (FR17) dye from aqueous solutions. LC/chitosan was crosslinked with ...
Treatment of effluents containing 2- chlorophenol by adsorption onto chemically and physically activated biochars
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2020)
The application of adsorption using biochars for the remediation of effluents containing emerging contaminants, including chlorophenols, is a hotspot and trend development in the literature. This treatment is more interesting ...
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 ...
Deposition of nanoparticles on school eyeglasses in urban and rural areas: a methodology for a more real assessment of the possible impacts
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2022)
Because incomplete confirmation is available concerning the influential role of atmosphere contamination on conjunctivitis, myopia, asthma, and allergic rhinitis in Brazil, the focus of the present work is to explore the ...
