This article presents a study on the development of amorphous aluminophosphate (Am-AlP) and silico-aluminophosphate (Am-SiAlP) materials for the removal of cadmium (Cd) from wastewater. Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that poses significant environmen...
Sulfolane, an organic solvent widely used in the petrochemical industry, has raised concerns due to its potential health risks and environmental mobility. Toxicological studies suggest that it may negatively affect human and ecological health, highli...
Activated carbons (ACs) are employed in the nuclear industry to mitigate the emission of potential radioactive iodine species. Their retention performances towards iodine are mainly dependent on the relative humidity due to the competitive effect ind...
This study researches the impact of diclofenac (DCF) oxidation via UV/H2O2 on water quality, focusing on aromaticity and color changes. The process effectively degrades DCF and its intermediates through hydroxyl radical attack on the aromatic structu...
In this review, a 5-year overview on environmentally friendly approaches for the extraction of the most relevant organic pollutants in soil, sediment, particulate matter, and sewage sludge coupled with chromatographic analysis is reported. Organic co...
Talcose molybdenite resources are abundant but resource utilization is low. The floatation separation of molybdenite (MoS2) and talc is challenging due to their similar natural hydrophobicity and layered structures. This study investigates the surfac...
The recent detection of N-nitroso-atenolol, a mutagenic and potentially carcinogenic impurity in atenolol-based pharmaceuticals, has raised serious safety concerns and emphasized the need for stringent analytical control. This study developed and val...
The present work aimed to obtain and characterize sunflower seed oil (SO) enriched with compounds from turmeric rhizome (TR). For this purpose, the enriched oil was obtained from two strategies: extraction of the compounds from TR using SO as solvent...
Many studies are being conducted on the detection of nitrosamine impurities in solid formulations. However, research on semi-solid formulations such as gels, ointments and creams is not common. In particular, excipients used to increase viscosity and...
Defluoridation of water was investigated in an adsorption column study using Al-Mg-Ca-coated sand (AMCCS), a ternary metal oxide adsorbent with eco-friendly components that were shown to be effective for water defluoridation, in a batch adsorption st...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urine headspace are potential biomarkers for different medical conditions, as canines can detect human diseases simply by smelling VOCs. Because dogs can detect disease-specific VOCs, gas chromatography–mass...
The discharge of textile effluents containing dyes poses severe environmental risks. This study aimed to develop a
Extensive utilization of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) has resulted in contamination of the aquatic environment; this situation requires effective treatment technology. Ultraviolet-based advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOPs) a...
