Modified Polymeric Biosorbents from Rumex acetosella for the Removal of Heavy Metals in Wastewater
(MDPI Journal List, 2022)
The contamination of water resources by effluents from various industries often contains
heavy metals, which cause irreversible damage to the environment and health. The objective was
to evaluate different biosorbents ...
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 ...
