Adsorption of ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and paracetamol onto activated carbon prepared from effluent treatment plant sludge of the beverage industry
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2020-09-15)
The presence of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals in aquatic means presents as a serious threat, since their real consequences for the environment and human health are not well known. Therefore, this work ...
Composite carbon materials from winery composted waste for the treatment of effluents contaminated with ketoprofen and 2-nitrophenol
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
The present work consisted of preparing and characterizing composite carbon materials (WRCC) from raw winery residues (WR) activated with zinc chloride to produce a carbon adsorbent. The WRCC was used for the adsorption ...
Efficient removal of naproxen from aqueous solution by highly porous activated carbon produced from Grapetree (Plinia cauliflora) fruit peles
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
In this work, jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora) fruit peels were pyrolyzed in the presence of zinc chloride to generate a novel porous adsorbent to remove naproxen (NPX) from aqueous solutions. The maximum adsorption capacity ...
Transforming shrub waste into a high-efficiency adsorbent: Application of Physalis peruvian chalice treated with strong acid to remove the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicide
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
In this study, the chalice generated from the production of the Physalis peruviana fruit was subjected to a treatment with sulfuric acid and applied in the adsorption of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The precursor, ...
Adsorbents for glyphosate removal in contaminated waters: a review
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2020)
Glyphosate is an herbicide used to control weeds and optimize agricultural production. However, since glyphosate is an emerging pollutant claimed to be potentially carcinogenic, glyphosate pollution of soils and water is ...
High-performance removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicide in water using activated carbon derived from Queen palm fruit endocarp (Syagrus romanzoffiana)
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021-02)
In this work, an activated carbon sample with a high adsorptive performance for the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was prepared from queen palm endocarp (Syagrus romanzoffiana) by pyrolysis process. The ...
Adsorbents for glyphosate removal in contaminated waters: a review
(2020-10-26)
Glyphosate is an herbicide used to control weeds and optimize agricultural production. However, since glyphosate is an emerging pollutant claimed to be potentially carcinogenic, glyphosate pollution of soils and water is ...
Preparation of activated carbon from the residues of the mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) production chain for the adsorption of the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic herbicide
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
The production of the edible mushroom Agaricus bisporus occurs on a world scale, where tons are constantly produced. At the same time, this production generates a large amount of waste that needs to be adequately conditioned. ...
Transforming agricultural waste into adsorbent: application of Fagopyrum esculentum wheat husks treated with H2SO4 to adsorption of the 2,4-D herbicide
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
Wheat husks (Fagopyrum esculentum) were modified by treatment with sulfuric acid. The precursor material (FEWS) and the modified material (TFEWS) were characterized by different techniques to identify the structural changes ...
An eco-friendly and low-cost strategy for groundwater defluorination: adsorption of fluoride onto calcinated sludge
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2020-09-28)
The excess of fluoride ions (F−) in water for human supply is a serious public health. The recommended concentration of F− ions by the World Health Organization (WHO) is 1.5 mg L-1. Several groundwater sources around the ...
