Removal of selected pharmaceuticals and personal care products in reclaimed water during simulated managed aquifer recharge

Bioconversion of industrial hemp biomass for bioethanol production: A review

“…Por otra parte, no se ha prestado atención especialmente al agua que se contamina a diario por el uso de los productos de cuidado personal, donde cerca de 12.000 productos farmacéuticos y cuidado personal se han distribuido para uso humano en todo el mundo. (Park & Lee, 2018). Sin embargo se han realizado estudios para la remoción de metales presentes en el agua, con nanotecnología y recursos naturales como es el caso la biomasa de cáscaras de limón químicamente modificada con la incorporación nano partículas de dióxido de titanio TiO2, analizando los componentes de la cáscara de limón del Norte de Colombia, en términos de celulosa, hemicelulosa, lignina y ceniza reportando 12.72 ± 0.5% p., 5.30 ± 0.2% p., 1.73 ± 0.2% p. y 1,92 ± 0,2% en peso, respectivamente, se realizó la técnica de adsorción que es básicamente remover los iones al níquel.…”

Effects of gas sparging and mechanical mixing on sonochemical oxidation activity

“…The removal of non-biodegradable and recalcitrant pollutants including phenols, dyes, natural organic matters, chlorinated compounds and personal care products (PPCPs) from water is a major task for the protection of aquatic ecosystems and the sustainable use of water resources [1] , [2] , [3] . Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have captured the attention of researchers for the effective treatment of conventional and emerging recalcitrant pollutants due to their ability to produce highly reactive oxidizing species such as hydroxyl radicals and sulfate radicals.…”

Amino hydroxyapatite/chitosan hybrids reticulated with glutaraldehyde at different pH values and their use for diclofenac removal

“…Among pharmaceutical compounds, diclofenac sodium (DS) is one of the main drugs detected in water around the world (Acuña et al, 2015;Park & Lee, 2018;Sathishkumar et al, 2020). It is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and is indicated in the relief of all grades of pain and inflammation associated with a wide range of conditions, including arthritic conditions, acute musculoskeletal disorders and other painful conditions resulting from trauma (Lonappan, Rouissi, Kaur, Verma, & Surampalli, 2017;Sathishkumar et al, 2020).…”
