Membrane process and adsorption on pine nut shell for removal of dye from synthetic wastewater.

Purification methods such as membrane technology and adsorption have been studied for the purification of textile effluents. This article aimed to evaluate the membrane separation process and adsorption on pine nut shell, separately and sequentially, for reactive dye blue 5G removal from a synthetic effluent. The membrane separation process was carried out in a front filtration module using polymeric membranes.

Amoxicillin removal from water by adsorption on activated carbon of mineral sources: discussion of experimental data, mechanisms and modeling.

The use of antibiotics has increased considerably in the last decades in human medicine, as well as agriculture and animal production. Consequently, high loads of these emerging contaminants in the environment can increase antibiotic-resistant genes and the development of multi-resistant pathogenic microorganisms. This work aims to evaluate the removal of amoxicillin trihydrate in aqueous medium using mineral-activated carbon of bituminous origin as an adsorbent.
