Recovery of an Antioxidant Derived from a Phenolic Diphosphite from Wastewater during the Production of a Polypropylene Compound: A Step towards Sustainable Management.

Organic phosphoester (OPE) antioxidants are currently required due to their contribution to enhancing the quality of polymers, including polypropylene (PP). In this research, an integral methodology is presented for the efficient extraction of bis(2,4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite from industrial wastewater. Upon employing the solid-phase extraction (SPE) technique, the recovered compound is subjected to a comprehensive analysis of the recovered compound using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectrometry (MS), thermal analysis (TGA), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

., 1MS: A New Strain in Decolorization and Degradation of Azo Dyes Ponceau S Red and Methyl Orange.

The aim of the present study is focused on the decolorization and degradation of azo dyes Ponceau S Red and Methyl Orange by a bacterial strain isolated from the gold mining district of San Martin de Loba, South of Bolivar (Colombia) sediment samples and identified as sp. 1MS (GenBank: MT568543) based on phenotypic and genotypic methods. A higher percentage of decolorization at 100 mg/L concentration, 37 °C, and pH 7 was recorded at 120 h of incubation period for both dyes.
