Anthropogenic copper pollution of environmental waters from sources such as acid mine
drainage, antifouling paints, and industrial waste discharge is a major threat to our …

Mine waters and tailings generated from mining and mineral processing activities often have
detrimental impact on the local environment. One example is acid mine drainage, in which …

The modification of silica microparticles surface with a high number of amino/carboxylic
groups of polymer chains represent an interesting route to obtain nanostructured composite …

The solid surfaces functionalization with high number of organic moieties from polymer
chains became an interesting route to obtain new materials which can load/release a wide …

We present a study on optical and surface chemistry engineering of nanoporous photonic
crystals as sensing platforms for detection of ionic copper. The optical sensing system …

Considering a sustainable approach to the production of novel materials used for water
treatment processes, this study presents the development and implementation of …

Unwanted growth of fouling organisms on underwater surfaces is an omnipresent challenge
for the marine industry, costing billions of dollars every year in the transportation sector …

In pursuit of design and characterisation of Cu adsorbing in thin films, we present data from
a large variety of Cu-K edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy (XANES) spectra …

The use of copper‐based chemicals to prevent biological growth has been widely practiced
in the past. However, leaching of the copper has increased concentrations in ports and …

A microsphere synthesized by emulsion crosslinking of polyethylenimine (PEI) was applied
in the removal of ionic dyes from water. Firstly, the stability of the PEI solution‐in‐liquid …
