Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence, control and fate of contaminants of emerging concern in environmental compartments in Brazil.
TL;DR: Data gathered indicated that caffeine, paracetamol, atenolol, ibuprofen, cephalexin and bisphenol A occur in the μg L-1 range in streams near urban areas, and endocrine disruptors are frequently detected in surface waters, highest concentrations account for 17α-ethynylestradiol and 17β-estradio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of blast furnace waste for azo dye degradation through photo-Fenton-like processes
Camila C. Amorim,Mônica Maria Diniz Leão,Regina de Fátima Peralta Muniz Moreira,José Domingos Fabris,Andréia Bicalho Henriques +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the use of blast furnace dust (BFD) as a catalyst to degrade an azo dye (RR195) by photo-Fenton-like processes was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multistage ozone and biological treatment system for real wastewater containing antibiotics.
TL;DR: The multistage treatment system presented promising results, achieving degradation of more than 99% of the amoxicillin, more than 98%" of the original chemical oxygen demand (COD), and 90% of initial toxicity, with the consumption of approximately 500 mg of ozone indicates that this system could prevent dangerous and biorecalcitrant antibiotics from entering water resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards visible-light photocatalysis for environmental applications: band-gap engineering versus photons absorption—a review
TL;DR: The present paper reviews and discusses the two main approaches, band-gap engineering for efficient solar-activated catalysts and reactor designs for improved photons absorption, and common misconceptions and drawbacks of each technology are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar energy for wastewater treatment: review of international technologies and their applicability in Brazil
Rafaela Brito Portela Marcelino,Marluce Teixeira Andrade Queiroz,Camila C. Amorim,Mônica Maria Diniz Leão,Fernanda F. Brites-Nóbrega +4 more
TL;DR: The high availability of solar power in Brazil would make the implementation of the AOP using natural solar radiation for the decontamination of effluents feasible, thereby contributing to clean production and biodiversity conservation.
