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 ...
Cyanobacterial biomass as a potential biosorbent for the removal of recalcitrant dyes from water
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-11-10)
The accumulation of cyanobacteria produced due to eutrophication processes and the increment of different pollutants in water as a result of industrial processes affects aquatic environments such as the ocean, rivers, and ...
Woody residues of the grape production chain as an alternative precursor of high porous activated carbon with remarkable performance for naproxen uptake from water
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2021-10-16)
Activated carbon prepared from grape branches was used as a remarkable adsorbent to uptake naproxen and treat a synthetic mixture from aqueous solutions. The material presented a highly porous texture, a surface area of ...
Adsorption performance of food red 17 dye using an eco-friendly material based on luffa cylindrica and chitosan
(Elsevier, 2021-11-22)
Luffa cylindrica (LC), a lignocellulosic material coveted for its versatility, was investigated to immobilize crosslinked chitosan and remove Food red 17 (FR17) dye from aqueous solutions. LC/chitosan was crosslinked with ...
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 ...
Volcanic rock powder residues as precursors for the synthesis of adsorbents and potential application in the removal of dyes and metals from water
(Elsevier BV, 2021-11-30)
The present study verified the potential of volcanic rock powder residues originating from the extraction of semi-precious rocks in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, as precursors or adsorbents for dyes and metallic ...
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, ...
An overview of forest residues as promising low-cost adsorbents
(Gondwana Research, 2021-06-26)
Anthropogenic activities have severely affected biogeochemical cycles on a global scale, resulting in a drastic increase in environmental problems, intensified by wastewater generation containing high levels of pollutants. ...
An overview of geological originated materials as a trend for adsorption in wastewater treatment
(2021-01-30)
Adsorption is a unit operation widely used for the tertiary treatment of the most diverse effluents, whose mechanism is based on removing recalcitrant compounds from the organic and inorganic origin. In this process, ...
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 ...
