Water pollution arises not only from anthropogenic sources but also natural contaminants, which can cause equally significant harm. Among these pollutants, mycotoxins – secondary metabolites produced by fungi stand out due to their widespread occurrence and the serious health risks they pose both humans animals. Zearalenone (ZEN), one of most prevalent mycotoxins, is known induce oxidative stress, DNA mitochondrial damage, apoptosis, alterations in gene expression, emphasizing its...
One prevailing trend in order to design efficient photocatalysts is support TiO2 on kaolin-based mineral carriers. This prevents aggregation, improves textural parameters and adsorption properties as well lowers costs. research a comprehensive comparison of based different TiO2-loaded kaolin group minerals, including platy kaolinite, halloysite, halloysite-containing sample, raw calcined synthetic kaolinite nanotubes. The impregnation the sample led formation star-like aggregates, which were...
Increasing demand for simultaneous removal of organic and inorganic pollutants from wastewaters causes a growing popularity hybrid materials with dual adsorption properties. This study investigated the effect heterocoagulated synthesis conditions on their efficiency both in static dynamic conditions. The heterostructures containing layered double hydroxides (LDHs) zeolite were synthesized via two approaches: facile, one-pot hydrothermal co-precipitation LDH hydrothermally obtained zeolite....
Abstract Search for inexpensive and efficient methods of critical raw materials recovery is great importance across the world due to growing demand green technologies. Formation detailed characterization new Pb- Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE)-containing phosphates, compared already described or LREE-containing was in this work. These phases were precipitated at experimental conditions similar these used a newly proposed coprecipitation route REE from aqueous solutions. The formation La,...
The widespread occurrence of zearalenone (ZEN) in a variety grain products and animal feed, coupled with its capacity to accumulate the food chain, poses significant health risk for both humans animals. Its ability induce estrogen-like effects may disrupt body's estrogen levels, thereby contributing reproductive system diseases, even at very low concentrations. removal ZEN from aqueous environment is predominantly challenging due weakly polar nature, compounded by high thermal stability....
<p>Synthetic REE-enriched Pb-apatites are potentially important materials in the industry. The size and morphology of crystals can influence physical properties, therefore affect technological processes. conditions synthesis determine crystals. Lead apatite Pb<sub>5</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>Cl (analogue mineral pyromorphite) was chosen for this study because its shows particular...
Research on rare earth elements (REE) is currently of high importance due to these being considered as critical raw materials. Particularly REE phosphates are the subject laboratory experiments since they have various applications resulting from their structural diversity. In crystalline rocks occur monazites and xenotimes (REEPO4, monoclinic tetragonal, respectively). Secondary precipitate out aqueous solution usually in form rhabdophane or churchite (REEPO4·nH2O, trigonal...
