“…The experimental points were obtained by diluting octocrylene at concentrations of 200; 400; 1000; 1300; 1600; and 2000 µg•L −1 in solutions of deionized water with 1% Tween 80. The experimental points were determined by Equation ( 2), and the liquid-solid isotherm model used in this study were the Langmuir model, Equation (5).…”

“…Octocrylene is classified as an emerging pollutant because it is not included in environmental regulations [4,5]. Conventional treatments are not efficient in completely removing it from wastewater [4,6] and it is commonly found in surface waters on the microgram (µg) scale [7,8].…”

“…Conventional treatments are not efficient in completely removing it from wastewater [4,6] and it is commonly found in surface waters on the microgram (µg) scale [7,8]. In sewage treatment plants in different countries, raw and treated effluents presented octocrylene in concentrations ranging from micrograms to nanograms [4,5]. This compound has a high bioaccumulation potential and is persistent in freshwater resources [4].…”

“…Furthermore, it triggered cellular toxicity and oxidative stress in mollusks [10], physiological changes in corals [11], and toxicity and endocrine disorders in fish [12,13]. Organisms (plants and earthworms) exposed to this filter, mainly by incorporating biosolids in agricultural areas and by leaching from contaminated soils, suffered from high systemic and cellular toxicity [4,5]. In addition to environmental issues, the contamination of surface waters with this compound directly impacts human populations since this sunscreen is found in drinking water on the nanogram (ng) scale [4,5].…”

Therefore, alternative, low-cost methods to complement conventional treatment for efficiently removing octocrylene from wastewater must be evaluated.…”

The emerging pollutant octocrylene is not efficiently removed from effluents by conventional treatment and is recurrently found in rivers. This study evaluated the adsorption of octocrylene using commercial carbon and biochar from spent coffee grounds activated with ZnCl2. The two adsorbents had an efficiency of approximately 100% in pollutant removal throughout the experimental design. The kinetics and equilibrium isotherms showed a good correlation with the experimental data. The kinetics showed adsorption of the contaminant in 40 min for both adsorbents. The model equilibrium isotherms with the best fit and adsorption capacity was Langmuir for biochar, with a capacity of 37.822 ± 0.005 µg∙mg−1 compared to 33.602 ± 0.202 µg∙mg−1 for commercial carbon. Furthermore, a toxicity analysis of a 600 µg∙L−1 octocrylene solution was carried out before and after adsorption with the two charcoals separately, using Allium cepa roots. Before adsorption, the solution was phytotoxic and cytogenotoxic. After adsorption, the solution obtained for each charcoal no longer caused toxicity to the roots. The charcoals tested had high removal efficiency and adsorption capacity, a condition reiterated by the toxicity results. However, biochar better represented the Langmuir model in the adsorption process when removing octocrylene from the aqueous medium.
