1. ENHANCED REMOVAL OF PERSISTENT CONTAMINANTS AND TOXICITY REDUCTION THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF A TRIPLE-STAGE FENTON PROCESS TO SANITARY LANDFILL LEACHATES FROM YUCATAN, MEXICO
Sanitary landfill leachate (SLL) is a mixture of highly toxic and recalcitrant pollutants that threatens the water quality of the Yucatán Peninsula karst aquifer, one of the most extensive aquifers on the planet. To reduce the adverse environmental impacts of this wastewater, a triple-stage Fenton process (FP) was applied in an old SLL. Removal efficiencies

2. Zinc tungstate: a review on its application as heterogeneous photocatalyst
Abstract ZnWO4 crystallizes in a monoclinic wolframite-like structure, which has been studied for applications in heterogeneous photocatalysis for degradation, oxidation, and reduction of various contaminants. This type of tungstate has proved to be an efficient photocatalyst under both ultraviolet and visible light irradiation and, when ZnWO4 forms a hetero

3. ADSORPTION OF ATRAZINE IN RICE HUSK BIOCHARS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL MODEL APPLIED TO EQUILIBRIUM AND KINETIC STUDIES
ABSTRACT Atrazine is an herbicide used to remove weeds in agricultural crops; however, because it is considered toxic, options for removing it from the environment are needed. Adsorption on biochar is an efficient technique for removing organic contaminants. In this study, the atrazine adsorption capacities of two biochars (BCA400 and BCA700) produced from r

4. Organic acids and hydrogen peroxide can replace chlorinated compounds as sanitizers on strawberries, cucumbers and rocket leaves
Abstract This work evaluated the effectiveness of 1 and 2% acetic and lactic acid, 3% hydrogen peroxide, 200 mg/L sodium hypochlorite and 200 mg/L sodium dichloroisocyanurate to reducing natural contaminants as well as Salmonella enterica Enteritidis inoculated on the surface of strawberries, cucumbers, and rocket leaves. The reduction of aerobic mesophilic

5. Chemically-Activated Biochar from Ricinus communis L. Cake and Their Potential Applications for the Voltammetric Assessment of Some Relevant Environmental Pollutants
Biochar is a rich-carbon material highly functionalized, which allows the use as electrodes modifier for preconcentration and voltammetric determination of several species. This work describes a castor cake biochar production and chemical activation with different reaction conditions using HNO3 and/or H2O2. Biochar samples were characterized using scanning e

6. COMPLEXO ESTUARINO LAGUNAR MUNDAÚ-MANGUABA: CARACTERIZAÇÃO DA MATÉRIA ORGÂNICA NATURAL E INTERAÇÃO COM ÍONS Hg2+
The Mundaú-Manguaba lagoon estuary complex is the most important ecosystem in the state of Alagoas, and a source of sustenance for a large number of the state’s inhabitants. However, degradation by anthropic sources has been causing impacts on this ecosystem. Understanding the characteristics of the natural organic material of the waters of the mundaú-ma

8. Monitoring the content of ethyl carbamate and copper in organic and conventional cachaça
ABSTRACT: Ethyl carbamate (EC) (NH2COOCH2CH3) is found in cachaça, and its presence in the beverage is conspicuous for its toxicity. Copper, the metal of choice used in the construction of stills, is also considered a beverage contaminant and is often related to the presence of EC in beverages. The study aimed to monitor the quality of cachaça by measuring

10. Preparation and application of Zero Valent Iron immobilized in Activated Carbon for removal of hexavalent Chromium from synthetic effluent
RESUMO Diferentemente dos contaminantes orgânicos, os metais pesados não são biodegradáveis e tendem a se acumular nos organismos vivos e também são reconhecidos por serem tóxicos ou carcinogênicos. A utilização de nanopartículas de ferro zero valente (nFVZ) é relatada como uma técnica alternativa e de elevado potencial para remediação in situ

12. Removal of organic matter from pre-treated domestic sewage in anaerobic biological reactor by a combined system of electrolytic and biological aerobic treatment
Resumo Os processos biológicos são os métodos mais difundidos para o tratamento de águas residuárias. No entanto, eles têm limitações para degradar poluentes tóxicos e refratários, contaminantes, que os processos eletroquímicos podem remover. Portanto, o objetivo da pesquisa foi verificar a possibilidade de tratamento de esgoto por um processo bio
