Eco-friendly reuse of agricultural wastes to produce biocomposites with high potential in water treatment and fertilizers
Large quantities of orange peel wastes are generated and require adequate management and disposal into the environment. Agricultural waste valorization is a strong research topic, due to the increasing need for achieving ...
Effect of mercury in the influx and efflux of nutrients in the microalga Desmodesmus armatus
Anthropogenic activities such as mining and the metallurgical industry are the main sources of mercury contamination. Mercury is one of the most serious environmental problems in the world. This study aimed to investigate, ...
Mechanism adsorption analysis during the removal of Cd2+ and Cu2+ onto cedar sawdust via experiment coupled with theoretical calculation: Mono- and multicomponent systems
In this work, a deeper comprehension of the adsorption phenomena for Cd2+ and Cu2+ occurring in mono- and multicomponent systems on an adsorbent material obtained from cedar sawdust was accomplished by using spectroscopic ...
Biochar production from tannery waste pyrolysis as a circular economy strategy for the removal of emerging compounds in polluted waters
The tanning industry is of major interest for generating water and soil pollution in developing countries. Tannery wastes usually contain hair mixed with inorganic substances, being hazardous and difficult for use, treatment, ...
Valorization of lemon peels wastes into a potential adsorbent for simultaneous removal of copper ion (Cu2+) and Congo red from wastewater
This research focused on the development of an adsorbent material from the Tahiti lemon peels (LP) using thermochemical treatment with ZnCl2 at 550 °C, and its application for simultaneous removal of copper ion (Cu2+), and ...
Sargassummacroalgae from Quintana Roo as raw material for the preparation of high-performance phosphate adsorbent from aqueous solutions
Currently, the large volumes of Sargassum biomass (Sgs) arriving on Caribbean coasts are a problem that must be solved quickly. One alternative is to obtain value-added products from Sgs. In this work, Sgs is demonstrated ...
