Efficient demulsification of wastewater by steel furnace dust with amphiphilic and surface charge properties
Luiza N. Andrade,Camila C. Amorim,Sara V. Santos,Ivo F. Teixeira,Mônica Maria Diniz Leão,Rochel M. Lago +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, blast furnace dust (BFD), a steel industry waste, was used as a demulsifier for highly efficient removal of the organic oil contaminant of metal working wastewater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of solar photo-Fenton toward toxicity removal and textile wastewater reuse
Maria Clara V.M. Starling,Paulo Henrique Rodrigues dos Santos,Felipe Antônio Ribeiro de Souza,Sílvia Corrêa Oliveira,Mônica Maria Diniz Leão,Camila C. Amorim +5 more
TL;DR: Results confirm that solar photo-Fenton, as a single treatment, enables wastewater reclamation in the textile industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of different oxidants in the presence of oxisol: Remediation of groundwater contaminated by gasoline/ethanol blend
Luiza N. Andrade,Sandrine F. Araujo,Antonio Teixeira de Matos,Andréia Bicalho Henriques,Luiz C.A. Oliveira,Patterson P. de Souza,Poliane Chagas,Mônica Maria Diniz Leão,Camila C. Amorim +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results indicated that the concentration of iron in a ferriferous oxisol promotes proper oxidant activation, achieving 99% BTEX removal and 45% COD removal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of aerobic and anaerobic biodegradability and toxicity assessment of real pharmaceutical wastewater from industrial production of antibiotics
Rafaela Brito Portela Marcelino,Luiza N. Andrade,Maria Clara V.M. Starling,Camila C. Amorim,M. L. T. Barbosa,Renata Pereira Lopes,B. G. Reis,Mônica Maria Diniz Leão +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the biodegradability and toxicity of a real pharmaceutical wastewater, which focuses on antibiotics production, using the Zahn-Wellens and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development methodologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of ethylenthiourea and 1,2,4-triazole pesticide metabolites from water by adsorption in commercial activated carbons
Camila C. Amorim,Sue Ellen Costa Bottrel,Elizângela Pinheiro da Costa,Ana Paula C. Teixeira,Mônica Maria Diniz Leão +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption capacity of ETU and 1H-1,2,4-triazole was evaluated at a bench scale for isotherm and adaption kinetic studies.
