The adsorption process is one of the most promising alternatives for textile effluent treatment. Different materials have been used as adsorbents and most of them present hard recovery, increasing the process cost. In this work, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste bottles were used as a substrate for the formation of titanium dioxide (TiO2-G5) f...

In this work, we were interested in eliminating the organic and mineral compounds that pose problems in obtaining drinking water using the method of coagulation. These substances are stable in the medium due to their colloidal sizes and surface loads, which require appropriate treatment. For this purpose, we explored the removal of colloidal suspen...

During storm events, contaminants and sediments from roadways, curbside, parking lots, and lawns in urban environments are mobilized and transported by the stormwater runoff. These contaminants are finally discharged in waterbodies, such as rivers and lakes, with adverse effects on public health and ecosystems. Several studies have reported high le...

Plants play a fundamental role by intercepting air particulate matter (PM) and improving air quality. The link between the accumulation of pollutants and the leaf exposure time to air pollution remains unclear as it depends on different factors. The aim of this study is to test if the metal and PM accumulation in holm oak leaf is linked to exposure...

This paper investigated the organic matter removal in waste stabilization ponds (WSP) based on ten full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) located in Rio Grande do Norte, Northeast Brazil. Although many systems are operating at high organic loading rates, in some cases, over 1000 kg BOD5 ha−1 d−1, the ponds promoted satisfactory removals of b...

Sulfate (SO42−) is an essential nutrient for the growth of several agricultural crops. However, higher than normal SO42− runoff into rivers and streams can cause environmental impacts including acidification, heavy metal release, phosphorus remobilization, and methylmercury release in aquatic systems. The city of Winkler, Manitoba, Canada, uses gro...

Manganese (Mn) is an essential heavy metal for living organisms. However, they tend to accumulate the excess of this element causing health problems. The increase of the environmental contamination by this heavy metal is mainly due to mining practices. This work aimed to isolate yeast from mining waters to evaluate its ability of removing Mn2+ ions...

In present work, mustard straw, an abundantly available agricultural residue in various parts of globe, is used to prepare a low-cost activated carbon by chemical activation using phosphoric acid. Response surface methodology is employed for optimization of adsorption of methylene blue dye onto mustard straw-activated carbon (MSAC). Central composi...

In the search for alternatives to bioremediation of soils, this research aimed to analyze the effects of lime, cement, and asphalt as stabilizers on clayey gravel and sand soil contaminated with gasoline in the laboratory. Concentrations of 10–20% of lime, cement, and asphalt were added to the soil. A standard sample was chosen to compare the resul...
