Development of a new hyper crosslinked resin based on polyamine-isocyanurate for the efficient removal of endocrine disruptor bisphenol-A from water
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a diphenylmethane derivative often used as a building block of polycarbonate in the production of plastic and plastic additives. Different sectors of the chemical industry release daily high concentrations ...
Adsorptive properties of highly porous activated carbon from açaí (Euterpe oleracea) towards the toxic herbicide atrazine
(Elsevier BV, 2023)
The great variety and possibilities of consumption of açaí pulp (Euterpe oleracea) have made its consumption increase considerably in recent years, mainly in Brazilian territory. The big problem is the generation of tons ...
A review of the antibiotic ofloxacin: Current status of ecotoxicology and scientific advances in its removal from aqueous systems by adsorption technology
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2023)
It is estimated that the growth of the population, the augmented expectancy of life, and the emergence of new pandemics will significantly increase the consumption of pharmaceutical drugs in the coming years. Due to its ...
The production of activated biochar using Calophyllum inophyllum waste biomass and use as an adsorbent for removal of diuron from the water in batch and fixed bed columna
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2023)
The Calophyllum inophyllum species annually produces a large volume of cylindrical fruits, which accumulate on the soil because they do not have nutritional value. This study sought to enable the use of this biomass by ...
A review of the toxicology presence and removal of ketoprofen through adsorption technology
(Elsevier BV, 2022)
The present review was carried out to analyze the works developed using the adsorption technology to remove the anti-inflammatory ketoprofen (KET). The main factors that inflated the KET adsorption were analyzed. It was ...
Effective removal of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug from wastewater by adsorption process using acid-treated Fagopyrum esculentum husk
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2022)
In this work, buckwheat husks (Fagopyrum esculentum) were modified by acid treatment and posteriorly employed to remove the ketoprofen in batch adsorption. The characterization results indicated that a more irregular surface ...
Investigation of biochar from Cedrella fissilis applied to the adsorption of atrazine herbicide from an aqueous medium
(Elsevier BV, 2022)
Biochar was produced from the sawdust of the wood forest species Cedrella fissilis and later used as an adsorbent to remove atrazine herbicide from aqueous media. Biochar showed high thermal stability, an amorphous structure, ...
Application of biowaste generated by the production chain of pitaya fruit (Hylocereus undatus) as an efficient adsorbent for removal of naproxen in water
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2022-02-02)
Pharmaceutical compounds are a serious problem in the environment. They cause damage to the aquatic, animal, and human organisms and soon became considered emerging pollutants where their removal is extremely urgent. Among ...
Effective adsorption of harmful herbicide diuron onto novel activated carbon from Hovenia dulcis
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
A porous activated carbon from Hovenia dulcis was prepared using zinc chloride (ZnCl2) as an activating agent and applied to remove diuron in aqueous solutions. The carbon presented a smooth and regular surface, with an ...
Improved adsorption of the toxic herbicide diuron using activated carbon obtained from residual cassava biomass (manihot esculenta)
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-11-04)
The production and consumption of cassava (Manihot esculenta) occur in several places worldwide, producing large volumes of waste, mostly in the form of bark. This study sought to bring a new purpose to this biomass through ...
