Nanoparticles generated during volcanic rock exploitation: an overview
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
Nanoparticles (NPs) from the mining of volcanic rocks have been a matter of concern around the world because they can pose environmental and human health risks. The nanoparticles are pointed as opportunities of application ...
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 ...
Conversion of MDF wastes into a char with remarkable potential to remove Food Red 17 dye from aqueous effluents
(Universidad de la Costa, 2020-02-17)
Medium density fiberboard (MDF) wastes were converted into an efficient char able to uptake Food Red 17 dye (FR17) from colored effluents. The yield of the pyrolysis process, in terms of char, was 29%. The produced char ...
Highly effective adsorption of synthetic phenol effluent by a novel activated carbon prepared from fruit wastes of the Ceiba speciosa forest species
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
Fruit wastes of the Ceiba speciosa forest species were employed as raw material for preparing activated carbon towards removing phenol from water. Concave cavities spread over the entire material surface were observed from ...
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 ...
