      Flórez-Fernández, Noelia; Illera, Marta; Sánchez Núñez, Marta; Lodeiro, Pablo; Torres Pérez, María Dolores; López-Mosquera, María Elvira; Soto, Manuel; Sastre de Vicente, Manuel; Domínguez, Herminia (Elsevier, 2020-05-24)
      [Abstract] Marine macroalgae represent an excellent raw material for the production of bioactives, adsorbents, plant biostimulants, soil fertilizers and biogas. The success in the exploitation of seaweeds depends on their ...
    • Sustainable Low-Cost Phosphorus Recovery Using Nanostructured Materials with Reusability Potential 

      Gómez-Carnota, David; Barriada, José Luis; Rodríguez-Barro, Pilar; Sastre de Vicente, Manuel; Herrero, Roberto (MDPI, 2023-03-24)
      [Abstract] A new low-cost material with a polymeric base formed from sodium silicate was developed. The material presents a nanostructured, highly rich iron surface with a large phosphorus retention capacity and potential ...
    • The Proton Binding Properties of Biosorbents 

      Lodeiro, Pablo; Martínez-Cabanas, María; Herrero, Roberto; Barriada, José Luis; Vilariño, Teresa; Rodríguez-Barro, Pilar; Sastre de Vicente, Manuel (Springer, 2019-04-15)
      [Abstract] A broad variety of materials of biological origin have been successfully used in recent decades for the removal of pollutants from waters. These biosorbents include natural polymers that play a key role for ...
    • Towards the Development of Sustainable Hybrid Materials to Achieve High Cr(VI) Removals in a One-Pot Process 

      Gómez-Carnota, David; Barriada, José Luis; Herrero, Roberto (MDPI, 2022-11-09)
      [Abstract] Rising manufacturing costs resulting from the current global situation make it necessary to economize at all stages of production, including waste management. Cost-effective materials that reduce the release of ...
