Using a batch test to derive sorption data of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in humic acids
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) are of concern due to their disrupting effects on environmental bacterial communities. Evaluating FQ sorption by soil components is important to understand their interaction with soils and ...
Recovery of rare earth elements from acidic mine waters by integration of a selective chelating ion-exchanger and a solvent impregnated resin
A polymeric ion-exchange resin, incorporating methyl-amino-phosphonic (TP260) functionalities, and a solvent impregnated resin (SIR) incorporating tri-methylpentylphosphinic acid (TP272), were evaluated for the selective ...
<span style="color:black">Aqueous oxidation of bisphenol analogues by ozone: Relevance of substituents on reactivity</span>
In recent years, bisphenol A has been progressively replaced by other bisphenol analogues, leading to an increase of their occurrence in aquatic environments. However, limited data is available regarding their removal ...
Coffee Husk and Lignin Revalorization: Modification with Ag Nanoparticles for Heavy Metals Removal and Antifungal Assays
This study presents the use of the modified coffee husk and coffee lignin as sorbents in the heavy metal ions sorption of Pb(II), Cd(II), Cr(III), and Cu(II) in an aqueous solution. The modification of sorbents was carried ...
Optimization and Green metrics analysis of the liquid-phase synthesis of sec-butyl levulinate by esterification of levulinic acid with 1-butene over ion-exchange resins
Liquid-phase esterification of levulinic acid (LA) with 1-butene (1B) over ion-exchange resins was studied following an experimental design approach aimed at identifying the optimal conditions to synthesize sec-butyl ...
Effect of ultrasonication on waste activated sludge rheological properties and process economics
The present study provides an overall view of the effect of the ultrasound treatment on waste activated sludge (WAS) rheological and dewatering properties as well as its impact on the economic balance of a theoretical ...
Photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethoxazole using TiO2 in simulated seawater: evidence for direct formation of reactive halogen species and halogenated by-products
Combined sewer overflows (CSO), generated during the wet weather flow from the combination of the inflow and stormwater runoff in sewer system, result in an overflow of untreated wastewater from sewer system, which might ...
