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 ...
Adsorption of pollutants from liquid swine manure through the application of metabasalt rock powder
(Springer Netherlands, 2022)
Adequate animal manure disposal became a challenge in agriculture. Liquid swine waste (LSW), easily used in agriculture, presents disadvantages due to the high volume and low nutrient concentrations. Metabasalt powder, a ...
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. ...
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 ...
Adsorption of the first-line covid treatment analgesic onto activated carbon from residual pods of erythrina speciosa
(Springer New York, 2022-09-10)
In this study, the residual pods of the forest species Erythrina speciosa were carbonized with ZnCl2 to obtain porous activated carbon and investigated for the adsorptive removal of the drug paracetamol (PCM) from water. ...
Sustainable use of sewage sludge as a casing material for button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) cultivation: experimental and prediction modeling studies for uptake of metal elements
(MDPI AG, 2022-01-25)
The present study focused on the use of sewage sludge (SS) as a casing material amendment and the potential uptake of metal elements by the cultivated white button (Agaricus bisporus: MS-39) mushroom. Laboratory experiments ...
Physiological characteristics, geochemical properties and hydrological variables influencing pathogen migration in subsurface system: what we know or not?
(China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and Peking University, 2022-01-01)
The global outbreak of coronavirus infectious disease-2019 (COVID-19) draws attentions in the transport and spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in aerosols, wastewater, surface water and ...
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 ...
Pharmaceuticals as emerging pollutants: case naproxen an overview
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2022)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including naproxen (NP), diclofenac, ibuprofen, etc., are widely used for fever and pain relief. NP is one of the most widely consumed drugs in the world, because it is available ...
