This study investigated the adsorption behavior of the herbicides diquat, difenzoquat and clomazone on biopolymer membranes prepared with alginate and chitosan (pristine and multi-layer model) for contaminated water ...

Due to population and industrial growth, a greater use of water is necessary and, as a consequence, there is a greater insertion of waste discarded inadequately. As a result, metal ions, such as barium contaminants, are ...

This study evaluated the use of Euterpe oleracea endocarp after chemical modification with H2O2, H2SO4 and NaOH for the removal of Cd2+, Pb2+ and Cr3+ from water. Therefore, the adsorbent was characterized for its chemical ...

The refining of biodiesel by adsorption over silica gel was assessed. Silica gel samples were used for the adsorption of glycerol and monoglycerides. Room-temperature isotherms for the adsorption of glycerol were measured ...

The contamination of the environment by potentially toxic metals is highlighted by possible impacts of their high availability. Thus, the development of alternative absorbents that can be used in the remediation of ...
