Study of the pollution by surfactants in a river of a high Andean micro basin
(Revista DYNA, 2020)
The surfactants linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), is used in large quantities in modern society, and wastewater containing it can
contaminate groundwaters through runoff and sewers. The study aimed to determine the ...
Effect of the Application of a Coating Native Potato Starch/Nopal Mucilage/Pectin on Physicochemical and Physiological Properties during Storage of Fuerte and Hass Avocado (Persea americana)
(Journal polymers mdpi, 2022)
The avocado fruit is an agro-industrial product with high export demand in Peru due
to its sensory and nutritional qualities, which can be affected during storage. The study aimed to
evaluate the effect of the application ...
Formulation of Novel Composite (Activated Nanoclay/Hydrocolloid of Nostoc sphaericum) and Its Application in the Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater
(MDPI Journal List, 2022)
The removal of heavy metals from wastewater is an environmental challenge which
demands the use of environmentally friendly materials that promote a circular economy. This study
aimed to apply a novel composite of an ...
Effect of the Addition of Corn Husk Cellulose Nanocrystals in the Development of a Novel Edible Film
(MDPI Journal List, 2022)
The cellulose from agroindustrial waste can be treated and converted into nanocrystals
or nanofibers. It could be used to produce biodegradable and edible films, contributing to the
circular economy and being environmentally ...
Heavy metal removal by biopolymers-based formulations with native potato starch/nopal mucilage
(Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2020)
The contamination of water bodies by heavy metals is a critical problem for
human health and ecosystems, and it can bioaccumulate in organisms to toxic levels and
even lead to the living being’s death. This research aimed ...
Multimetal removal in aqueous medium using a potato starch/nopal mucilage copolymer: A study of adsorption kinetics and isotherms
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
In reducing heavy metals from water for direct or indirect consumption, various synthetic materials have been
used; there is a tendency to use natural, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly materials. The aim was ...
