New techniques for treating wastewater, particularly the removal or degradation of organic
pollutants and heavy metals, among other pollutants, have been extensively studied. The …

Burns pose a potential threat to health, and often require dressings. PVA hydrogels present
many characteristics of ideal dressings, but do not have any intrinsic antimicrobial …

A series of niobium/iron composites, Nb2O5/Fe (III)(% Fe (w/w)= 0.0, 2.0, 2.4 and 7.6), was
prepared by conventional co-precipitation method. Powder XRD, 57Fe Mössbauer …

Agriculture residues (grape seeds, peach, apricot and olive stones) were used as a
precursor of activated carbons with tunable textural characteristics and relatively low surface …

Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized and functionalized with (3-aminopropyl)
trimethoxysilane (APTMS) and chitosan, forming Fe3O4-NH2 and Fe3O4-NH2-chitosan …

We obtained natural red soil (RS), rich in iron, from the region of Palotina in the state of
Paraná, Brazil. The RS sample was purified by suspension in water and sieved to remove …

This study aims to assess the thermal properties of mixtures of sugarcane bagasse and iron
(III) nitrate in the following proportions (mass/mass): 1/2, 1/1, and 2/1, using …

Two types of manganese oxide were investigated for the removal/degradation of Orange G
(OG) dye in aqueous solution. One manganese oxide (pyrolusite) was obtained …

Chemically modified electrodes have been studied to obtain new and better electrochemical
sensors. Transparent conductive oxides, such as fluorine-doped tin-oxide (FTO), shows …

In this study, mechanical mixtures of sugarcane bagasse and iron salts (nitrate, acetate, or a
mixture of both) were subjected to thermal decomposition for producing iron oxide and …
