Characterizing activated carbon synthesized from corn straw aiming water treatment
Silva T., Souza I., Silva C., (Corresponding) Abud A.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The emerging agenda for sustainable development and global warming control searches urgent researches to reduce environmental impacts. In this sense, activated carbons from agroindustrial wastes are widely used as adsorbents in food and pharmaceuticals industries, mainly for the separation and...Read more
Ultrasound-assisted Fenton-like degradation of methylene blue using electrospun nanofibrous membranes
Pervez M., Stylios G., Buonerba A., Hasan S., Cai Y., Zhao Y., Talukder M., Song H., Zarra T., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
New materials supported by Green Chemistry have been receiving widespread attention because they are fulfilling the sustainable development goals (SDGs) agenda, for which clean water development is a top priority. Recently, electrospun nanofibers membranes are being frequently used to decontaminate...Read more

Adsorption-desorption of methylene blue dye onto marine sediments: Kinetics and equilibrium studies
(Corresponding) Vagi M., Leventelli M., Petsas A.
Topic:
Environmental pollution
The present study concerns the investigation of the sorption and desorption phenomena of methylene blue (MB), which is an organic molecule used as a synthetic dye in several industries. For that purpose, the batch equilibrium technique was applied by using three marine sediments that were...Read more
