Topic:
Environmental applications of nanomaterials
Μagnetite (Fe3O4) in nanoscale has been very attractive due to its unique properties which make it ideal for a wide range of applications. Nanomagnetite can be applied as drug delivery medium, as catalyst and as efficient adsorbent and reducing agent for water treatment. In this study, magnetite...Read more

This study investigated the removal of arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) in aqueous solution using iron-coated pomelo peel (ICPP). Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of initial pH values (2.0–10), contact time (1–1440 minutes), initial concentration (0.05–5 mg...Read more

Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
This compilation aims to describe the studies carried out focusing on the treatment of 100-127 mg/L of wastewaters involving different fluoride removal alternatives which demonstrated efficacy. Adsorption by bone char, both in batch as in continuous systems, including chemical and thermal...Read more

Use of residues from Eucalyptus Globulus as biosorbents for cadmium removal
(Corresponding) Hansen H., Gutierrez C., Alarcon J., Lazo A., Hansen M., Lazo P., Ortiz R.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The present work studied the removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions by a series of batch sorption experiments using Eucalyptus Globulus bark and seeds as biosorbents. Both biosorbents showed good results in cadmium removal. The best results were obtained when working with a particle size < 75...Read more
