The photochemical fate of Marbofloxacin (MAR) and Enrofloxacin (ENR), two Fluoroquinolones (FQs) largely used as veterinary bactericides known to be present in surface waters, was investigated aqueous solution. degradation these pollutants (5−50 μg L−1 starting concentration) complete about 1 h by exposure solar light (summer) obeyed a first-order kinetics. structure the primary photoproducts determined. Those from ENR arose through three paths, namely, oxidative piperazine side-chain,...
This work presents a systematic study of cellulose (CLS) as sacrificial biomass for photocatalytic H2 evolution from water. The idea is indeed to couple largely available and not expensive biomass, water, with renewable energy like solar radiation. An aqueous CLS suspension irradiated either at 366 nm (UV-A) or under sunlight in the presence Pt/TiO2 behaves evolving system. effects irradiation time, catalyst concentrations, pH water salinity are studied. Addition sample significantly...
Synthetic zeolites obtained combining natural sources (bauxite and obsidian), pure alumina/silica reagents, waste material (red mud) were tested for heavy metals (i.e., Pb2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Cr3+) removal. The adsorption capabilities of the formed sodalite, zeolite A X (LTA FAU topology, respectively), compared through thermodynamic kinetic experiments. Although all newly-formed able to remove pollutant elements within 24 h, Zeolite sodalite synthesized obsidian (natural as silica source) red...
Rice husk (RH) in the rice industry is often air-burnt to obtain energy form of heat and RH ash (RHA) residue. In this work, RHA was applied as a starting material silica-supported carbon nanomaterials, resulting new reuse globally produced industrial waste product, circular economy approach. The preparation involves ultrasound-assisted one-pot oxidation with sulfonitric mixture followed by wet oven treatment closed vessel. A study times amount/acid volume ratio led solid (nC-RHA@SiO2)...
A microextraction procedure was developed for the determination of fluoroquinolone (FQ) antimicrobials, namely Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Lomefloxacin, Moxifloxacin, Norfloxacin and Sparfloxacin, in human urine. The new natural waste-derived material consisting silica-supported carbon nanoparticle aggregates from rice husk ash (nC-RHA@SiO2) used as sorbent setting up a straightforward pipette-tip micro solid-phase extraction (PT-µSPE) prior to HPLC-MS/MS quantification. analytes were...
Abstract Sound suppressors critically modify barrel overall length and ballistic performances of hosting guns are therefore expected to influence the patterns plumes gunshot residues (GSR) reaching targets. Despite forensic interest, in recent years, a single paper was published on variations induced by use suppressor spatial distribution visible soot clouds close targets number few selected classes GSR particles detected scanning electron microscopy. A different approach, based x‐ray...
