Degradation of diclofenac aqueous solutions in a 3D electrolytic reactor using carbon-based materials as pseudo third electrodes in fluidized bed, anodic and cathodic configurations
(Elsevier BV, 2022)
In this study, the degradation of diclofenac (DCF) in a 3D electrochemical reactor was evaluated. Several parameters were studied including the reactor configuration: fluidized bed (FB), anodic packed bed (APB) and cathodic ...
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 ...
Application of araçá fruit husks (Psidium cattleianum) in the preparation of activated carbon with FeCl3 for atrazine herbicide adsorption
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2022-04)
The residual husks of the edible fruits of Psidium cattleianum were carbonized with FeCl3 as an activating agent and used as an adsorbent to remove the toxic herbicide. After the carbonization step, changes in the material’s ...
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, ...
Polishing of painting process effluents through adsorption with biochar from winemaking residues
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2022-05-02)
A real industrial efuent from the pre-treatment and painting processes was polished through adsorption using alternative
biochar derived from grape pomace wastes. The biochar was produced in a pilot-scale plant from ...
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 ...

(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, ...
Understanding the Cu2+ adsorption mechanism on activated carbon using advanced statistical physics modelling
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2022)
Adsorption modeling via statistical physics theory allows to understand the adsorption mechanism of heavy metal ions. Therefore, this paper reports the analysis of the mechanism of copper ion (Cu2+) adsorption on four ...
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 ...
Conversion of foliar residues of Sansevieria trifasciata into adsorbents: dye adsorption in continuous and discontinuous systems
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2022-09-04)
The study analyzed the potential of leaf powder prepared from the residual leaves of the species Sansevieria trifasciata, as a potential adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal. The equilibrium was reached fast for almost ...
