Biosorbents have been recently gaining importance, with an increasing number of publications on their environmental applications, especially for removal organic pollutants from aqueous media. The aim this work was to evaluate the sorption capacity a biosorbent, namely granulated cork, remove mixtures ibuprofen (IB), carbamazepine (CB) and clofibric acid (CA) water wastewater. High efficiencies were attained IB CB while less satisfactory performance observed CA. Simultaneous three compounds...
Abstract Several studies on phytotoxic effects caused by organic xenobiotics and their removal from water macrophytes have already been performed to evaluate the usefulness of these plants for phytoremediation technologies. In this context, a study was conducted assess Typha spp.'s ability withstand remove, water, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen. For an initial ibuprofen concentration 20 µg L−1, removed nearly 60% it within first 24 h, attaining over 99% end assay (21 days)....
Abstract Microcosm constructed wetland systems established with a matrix of light expanded clay aggregates (LECA) and Typha spp. or Phragmites australis were used to evaluate their ability remove atenolol from wastewater. Combined an efficient SPE concentration step, the use HPLC-DAD yielded analytical method for quantification very low LOQ (9 ng mL−1) high reproducibility (RSD < 4%). Overall removal efficiencies 92.5% 94.5% achieved after retention time only 4 days microcosm planted spp.,...
The potential of Iris pseudacorus and Typha domingensis to remove the pharmaceutical active compound (PhAC) Furosemide from a nutrient solution was assessed. Both plants were exposed 2 mg L-1 furosemide during 21 days removal monitored. Vessels without also implemented as control systems for development. Likewise, unplanted vessels with employed assess abiotic mechanisms. All covered aluminum foil avoid photodegradation compound. showed Furosemide, attaining, at end experiment, 42.0-66.9%...
