Muconic acid (MA) is a high value-added dicarboxylic acid with conjugated double bonds,
presenting three isomeric forms, ie, cis, cis-MA, cis, trans-MA and trans, trans-MA. Its …

Non-negligible concentrations of chemicals products are often contained in worldwide
wastewaters. Although they can be eco-toxic, they are generally poorly removed in water …

Phenol is a toxic pollutant commonly found in industrial wastewaters. Thus, the objective of
the present study consisted in removing this organic compound from aqueous solution using …

This paper investigates the parameters that influence the selective adsorption of phenol,
toxic molecule, from a semi-model biofuel mixture containing alkanes and different …

ReaxFF molecular dynamics is employed to investigate interactions between water, ethanol,
their mixture, and hydrated TiO 2 (101) surfaces. Water maintains hydration, while …

Abstract Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are harmful for both human beings and
environment and, consequently their removal from atmosphere by adsorption is one of the …

Copper-polluted water has a significant impact on environment and cause human health
risks. In the present study, a polysulfone/zeolite blend flat sheet membrane was prepared …

Sulfamethoxazole (antibiotic) and acetaminophen (analgesic) are classed as common
Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC) that have been detected in significant quantities …

Correlated quantum-chemical methods for condensed matter systems, such as the random
phase approximation (RPA), hold the promise of reaching a level of accuracy much higher …

The purification of second-generation biofuels is becoming an urgent issue due to the
toxicity of the combustion products of residual phenol in these biofuels. The use of solid …
