The pollution of soil and aquatic systems by inorganic and organic chemicals has become a
global concern. Economical, eco-friendly, and sustainable solutions are direly required to …

As a new inorganic material, mesoporous carbon (MCNs) nanomaterials integrate the
advantages of a mesoporous structure and carbonaceous composition, and have shown …

This study explores the potential of the corozo fruit (Bactris guineensis) palm tree in the
Colombian Caribbean as a source for porous carbon material. Its specific surface area, pore …

The production and consequently the consumption of the pulp of the fruit of the palm tree
Bactris guineensis occurs extensively in Colombia. The majority of the fruit is formed by …

A group of (doped N or P) carbons were synthesized using soluble starch as a carbon
precursor. Further, ceria nanoparticles (NPs) were confined into these (doped) carbon …

The work proposes the application of a nanocomposite formed by graphene oxide and
magnetite to remove chloroquine, propranolol, and metformin from water. Tests related to …

Heteroatom-doping of carbonaceous materials and (nano) structures permits alteration of
their fundamental physicochemical properties and thus amplifies the range of their potential …

ABSTRACT Ni 2+ and Cd 2+ in wastewater accumulated through the ecological chain and
could jeopardize human health. Adsorption of Ni 2+ and Cd 2+ from wastewater using …

In this study, mesoporous doped-carbons were synthesized from sucrose, a natural source,
boric acid and cyanamide as precursors, generating B-or N-doped carbon. These materials …

Emerging contaminants (ECs) are present in the environment and can affect aquatic fauna
and flora. Due to the difficulty in removing ECs from water, new technologies must be …
