Study on bioaccumulation and biosorption of mercury by living marine macroalgae: Prospecting for a new remediation biotechnology applied to saline waters
Bruno Henriques,Luciana S. Rocha,Cláudia B. Lopes,Paula Figueira,Rui Monteiro,Armando C. Duarte,Miguel A. Pardal,Eduarda Pereira +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative evaluation of bioaccumulation (living biomass) and biosorption (dried biomass) was performed for Ulva lactuca, which had displayed the best performance in accumulating Hg.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances on the development and application of magnetic activated carbon and char for the removal of pharmaceutical compounds from waters: a review
Luciana S. Rocha,Diogo Pereira,Érika M. L. Sousa,Marta Otero,Valdemar I. Esteves,Vânia Calisto +5 more
TL;DR: This review aims to present the different aspects of using MCM in water treatment, namely in the removal of pharmaceutical compounds, and their comparative performance with the carbonaceous non-magnetic precursors will be also discussed in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaccumulation of Hg, Cd and Pb by Fucus vesiculosus in single and multi-metal contamination scenarios and its effect on growth rate
Bruno Henriques,Cláudia B. Lopes,Paula Figueira,Luciana S. Rocha,Armando C. Duarte,Carlos Vale,Miguel A. Pardal,Eduarda Pereira +7 more
TL;DR: Exposure to contaminants only adversely affected the organism's growth for the highest concentrations of Cd and Pb, and analysis of metal content in the macroalgae after bioaccumulation proved that all metal removed from solution was bound to the biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
A macroalgae-based biotechnology for water remediation: Simultaneous removal of Cd, Pb and Hg by living Ulva lactuca.
Bruno Henriques,Luciana S. Rocha,Cláudia B. Lopes,Paula Figueira,Armando C. Duarte,Carlos Vale,Miguel A. Pardal,Eduarda Pereira +7 more
TL;DR: Results represent an important contribution for developing a macroalgae-based biotechnology, applied for contaminated saline water remediation, more "green" and cost-effective than conventional treatment methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple and effective chitosan based films for the removal of Hg from waters: Equilibrium, kinetic and ionic competition
Luciana S. Rocha,Ângela Almeida,Cláudia Nunes,Bruno Henriques,Manuel A. Coimbra,Cláudia B. Lopes,Carlos M. Silva,Armando C. Duarte,Eduarda Pereira +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the efficiency of chitosan cross-linked with genipin (Chg) and crosslinked with Genipin and grafted with caffeic acid to remove Hg(II) from waters was investigated.
