Groundwater quality and hydrogeochemical characterization of Khetri copper mining region, India
(Corresponding) Punia A., Siddaiah N., (Corresponding) Bharti R.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The impact of copper mine on groundwater quality in the semi-arid region is evaluated, and also characterized for hydrogeochemical processes. Groundwater samples (post monsoon and pre monsoon) from Khetri copper mine region of Rajasthan, India were studied. In majority of groundwater samples, the...Read more
Reduction of Halogenated Organic Compounds in Water: Comparison of Available Reduction Systems based on Cu, Pd and ZVI
(Corresponding) Shee A., Kopinke F., Mackenzie K.
Topic:
Water treatment
Catalysts on the basis of copper (Cu) and the reducing agent borohydride (BH4-) have been successfully used for reduction of chlorinated aliphatics with low substitution degree which are usually resistant to zero-valent iron (ZVI) and hydrodehalogenation catalysts, such as Pd. Reactivity screening...Read more

Topic:
Water treatment
Abstract. Pollution by heavy metals is a serious global problem, both for the environment and for any form of life. There is a growing interest to find low cost agricultural by-products with high adsorption capacity for the removal of heavy metals. In the present study the adsorptive capacity of...Read more
An innovative and eco-friendly approach to recover gold (and copper) from gold fingers of waste printed circuit boards
Sousa P., Martelo L., Bastos M., Marques A., (Corresponding) Soares H.
Topic:
Sustainable supply of raw materials
Recycling waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) is a complex problem worldwide and sustainable technologies are required. So, this work aims to offer an innovative (an European patent was submitted, EP 20216239.2 1) and more sustainable solution to recover high-value materials (gold and copper) from...Read more

Removal of copper (II) from aqueous solution using biopolymer-based materials: Theoretical and statistical physics investigation for wastewater treatment
ELBOUGHDIRI N., FERKOUS H., ROUIBAH K., DELIM A., BOUBLIA A., ALGETHAMI J., ALQAHTANI M., JEON B., (Corresponding) Yadav Y., BENGUERBA Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Pollution from heavy metals is increasingly recognized as a major threat to Earth's ecosystem. Due to the potential economic and ecological consequences, there is an urgent need to develop waste management systems and strategies for disposing of copper ions (Cu2+) from the industrial sector...Read more

Heavy metal assessment in vineyard sludge. Copper lixiviation and recovery studies.
(Corresponding) YOHAI L., GARRIDO MOLINA C., RESINA GALLEGO M., LÓPEZ MESAS M., VALIENTE M.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The use of copper-based compounds to prevent fungi diseases in vineyards have contributed to heavy metal accumulation in soil, vegetation and waste, causing a serious environmental and agro-industrial problem. One main issue is the waste generated both during and after wine production. This waste...Read more
