Polyphenols and their potential role to fight viral diseases: An overview
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFruits, vegetables, spices, and herbs are a potential source of phenolic acids and polyphenols. These compounds are known as natural by-products or secondary metabolites of plants, which are present in the daily diet and ... -
Evaluation of calcium alginate-based biopolymers as potential component of membranes for recovering biosurfactants from corn steep water
(2021-08-31)
Article
Open AccessCorn steep water (CSW) is a complex agro-food stream that is used as a source of cost-competitive biosurfactants, since they are produced spontaneously in the steeping process of corn, avoiding production costs. Nevertheless, ... -
Iron-doped natural clays: Low-cost inorganic adsorbents for phosphate recovering from simulated urban treated wastewater
(2021-10-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyNatural inorganic adsorbents are attractive for pollutants removal due to the easy operation, non-toxic char- acteristics and low cost. In this study, two raw clays (C1 and C2) were doped with iron and evaluated for the ... -
Multivariate analysis of the operational parameters and environmental factors of an industrial solar pond
(2021-07-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe stability of an industrial Salinity Gradient Solar Pond (SGSP) has been studied by applying classical Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on three datasets with a different number of variables and time evolution. ... -
Paired electrochemical removal of nitrate and terbuthylazine pesticide from groundwater using mesh electrodes
(2021-07-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyGroundwater is one of the main freshwater resources on Earth, but its contamination with NO3- and pesticides jeopardizes its viability as a source of drinking water. In this work, a detailed study of single electro-oxidation ... -
Ion-exchange technology for lactic acid recovery in downstream processing: Equilibrium and kinetic parameters
(2021-06-02)
Article
Open AccessThe downstream processing for the separation and purification of lactic acid is a hot research area in the bio-refinery field due to its continuous growing market in different sectors, such as the food, cosmetic and ... -
Se(IV) immobilization onto natural siderite: implications for high-level nuclear waste repositories
(2021-07-01)
Article
Open AccessSorption processes of metals and semimetals on siderite are studied because of its potential adequacy for removing contaminants from natural waters and its wide availability, as well as its capacity to reduce the oxidation ... -
Removal of transition metals from contaminated aquifers by prb technology: Performance comparison among reactive materials
(2021-06-04)
Article
Open AccessThe most common reactive material used for the construction of a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) is zero valent iron (ZVI), however, its processing can generate corrosive effects that reduce the efficiency of the barrier. ... -
Improvement of phosphate adsorption kinetics onto ferric hydroxide by size reduction
(2021-05-31)
Article
Open AccessBall milling and ultra-sonication size reduction procedures were applied to granular ferric hydroxide (GFH) to obtain two micro-sized adsorbents. These two adsorbents and GFH were investigated to improve the removal of ... -
Hydroxyapatite coatings on calcite powder for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated water
(2021-05-27)
Article
Open AccessAn approach for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated wastewater that is gaining increasing attention is the application of hydroxyapatite (HAP)-based particles. HAP is conventionally synthesized through wet chemical ... -
Nanofiltration of multi-ion solutions: Quantitative control of concentration polarization and interpretation by solution-diffusion-electro-migration model
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-04-01)
Article
Open AccessFor effective use of advanced engineering models of nanofiltration quality of experimental input is crucial, especially in electrolyte mixtures where simultaneous rejections of various ions may be very different. In ... -
Recycling of rare earths from fluorescent lamp waste by the integration of solid-state chlorination, leaching and solvent extraction processes
(2021-10-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyRare earths (RE) are currently considered some of the most critical elements, being crucial in future sustainable applications. Their high demand, price fluctuations, supply risk and geopolitical factors increase the ...
