En este trabajo se estudió la capacidad de adsorción de plomo usando cáscara de yuca modificada con ácido cítrico como medio adsorbente; se realizó la caracterización de la biomasa antes y después de la modificación y el análisis cinético del proceso de adsorción. Los factores experimentales que se estudiaron en el proceso de remoción de plomo fueron el tiempo y la temperatura de contacto de la cáscara de yuca con el ácido cítrico, el tiempo de secado después de la impregnación, la temperatura y tiempo de terminación de secado en horno y la relación biomasaacido (%p/p). Los resultados muestran que la biomasa fue esterificada exitosamente, lo que se tradujo en adsorciones del metal de hasta un 95% con tiempos de equilibrio entre 20 y 25 minutos. La cinética pudo ser ajustada al modelo de pseudo-segundo orden.
At a time when defining the conservation of cultural heritage is undergoing important changes, it is necessary to rethink the roles of the cleaning process applied to paintings. Throughout the nineteenth and the twentieth century, the cleaning of paintings was the subject of continuous controversy which developed both in the academic field and in the pages of newspapers. In general, attempts have been made to define, one way or another, exactly what the role of cleaning should be. Four of these roles have been (and still are): cleaning as a conservation procedure, as revelation (of the original work or of the artist’s intent), as aesthetic presentation, and as a way of improving legibility. This article reviews these roles, their limitations and also raises a number of questions and issues in order to re-evaluate cleaning, taking into account contributions by the new theories of conservation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
