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 ...
Implementation of a multilayer statistical physics model to interpret the adsorption of food dyes on a chitosan film
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
This paper reports the application of an advanced multilayer model to study the adsorption of food dyes FD&C blue No. 2, acid red 18, FD&C red No. 2, and FD&C yellow 5 from aqueous solutions with a chitosan film. These ...
New insights into glyphosate adsorption on modified carbon nanotubes via green synthesis: statistical physical modeling and steric and energetic interpretations
(Elsevier, 2021-12-08)
The present work used a statistical physics approach to present new insights into the adsorption of the pesticide glyphosate on modified carbon nanotubes via green synthesis (MWCNT/MPNs-Fe). The experimental equilibrium ...
Enhanced catalytic performance of CuFeS2 chalcogenide prepared by microwave-assisted route for photo-Fenton oxidation of emerging pollutant in water
(Universidad de la Costa, 2020)
In this work, CuFeS2 chalcogenide powders were easily produced by conventional and microwave methods, and for the first time, the influence of synthesis route on their properties and consequent catalytic activity in the ...
Adsorptive behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotubes immobilized magnetic nanoparticles for removing selected pesticides from aqueous matrices
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
The present work synthesized two new materials of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT–OH and MWCNT–COOH) impregnated with magnetite (Fe3O4) using solution precipitation methodology. The resulting MWCNT–OH–Mag ...
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 ...
Toward a mechanistic understanding of adsorption behavior of phenol onto a novel activated carbon composite
(Nature Publishing Group, 2023)
In this research, the solid–liquid adsorption systems for MSAC (PbFe2O4 spinel-activated carbon)-phenol and pristine activated carbon-phenol were scrutinized from the thermodynamics and statistical physics (sta-phy) ...
Soil contamination in colombian playgrounds: effects of vehicles, construction, and traffic
(Universidad de la Costa, 2020)
The presence of potentially hazardous elements (PHEs) in playground soils is generally associated with anthropogenic sources such as vehicle traffic, industries, construction sites, and biomass burning. Studies indicate ...
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 ...
