Parabens are widely used in different industries as preservatives and antimicrobial compounds. The evolution of analytical techniques allowed the detection these compounds sources at µg/L ng/L. Until today, parabens were already found water sources, air, soil even human tissues. impact humans, animals ecosystems a matter discussion within scientific community, but it is proven that can act endocrine disruptors, some reports suggest they carcinogenic presence mainly related to wastewater...
The conventional wastewater treatment process (WWTP) is under continuous improvement, mainly to reduce the final pollutant contents in effluent. circular economy concept driving this industry towards recovery of carbon (C) and nutrient (nitrogen – N phosphorus P) loads as valuable products, also answer issues related their depletion nature. In context, microalgae cultivation on has shown great promise both water purification nutrients through additional biomass production. further direction...
Self-organized TiO2 nanotubes (TNT) with 4 µm length were obtained by anodization method and calcined to obtain an anatase crystallite phase. The photocatalysts further decorated Au, Ag, Pt or Pd nanoparticles (NPs), varying the metal loads (0.50, 0.75, 1, 2 5 mol%) photodeposition. material characterization confirmed presence of in TNTs surface, signs localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect for some samples a bandgap energy 3.1-3.2 eV. Photoluminescence measurements also that most...
Effective municipal solid waste (MSW) management is a critical challenge for policymakers, exacerbated by population growth and urbanization. Approximately 2 billion tonnes of MSW are generated globally each year, with 30 % uncollected 70 landfilled. In low-income countries, 90 dumped or openly burned, leading to severe environmental health impacts. This paper summarises the pros cons real-scale implementation practices addressing their advances, focusing on landfill leachate in Europe...
The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) system is considered an Advanced Wastewater Treatment (AWT), which combines the best of Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS) and biofilter processes, making use suspended biomass attached biomass. This requires less space than CAS to process same amount wastewater can be adapted existing structures CAS. dairy obtained during milk transformation cleaning operations a residue characterized by high content organic matter hydrocarbon compounds contribute its...
