Biodegradable polymers are considered a feasible option to minimize the environment impacts of high disposal of solid waste. Nevertheless, environmental safety of these materials is a few explored issue. In this context, ...

This study aimed at comparing the performance of hydroxylation and direct photolysis for removing diclofenac from water. Several parameters were assessed: degradation kinetics, mineralization degree, lipophilicity (log ...

A study of the ecotoxicity of different short aliphatic protic ionic liquids (PILs) on terrestrial organisms was conducted. Tests performed within the present study include those assessing the effects of PILs on soil ...

In this work, we use the effect of herbicides that affect the photosynthetic chain at dened sites in the photosynthetic reaction steps to derive information about the uorescence emission of photosystems. The interpretation ...

In this study, nanocomposites of PLA and organoclays Cloisite 20A and Cloisite 30B were prepared by the melt intercalation method and the obtained samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Since ...

This work presents the development of a sensitive and friendly environment electrochemical methodology with high analytical performance for quinolone detection. The method is based on square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry ...
