(American Chemical Society, 2021-04-26)[Abstract] Creative educational methodologies capable of engaging students in interactive, enjoyable learning help to lessen students’ anxieties and motivate them. In this context and with the objective of making easier ... -
Antioxidant Capacity Assessment of Plant Extracts for Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2021-06-25)[Abstract] In this work, water extracts from different bio-based products of plant origin were studied to evaluate their antioxidant capacity and their potential to form metal nanoparticles from aqueous solutions. Two ... -
Green Development of Iron Doped Silica Gel Materials for Chromium Decontamination
(Elsevier, 2022)[Abstract] New hybrid polymeric materials were prepared by the polymerisation of sodium silicate, water, and hydrochloric acid, with the subsequent addition of iron. After the treatment with a natural reducing biomass ... -
Towards the Development of Sustainable Hybrid Materials to Achieve High Cr(VI) Removals in a One-Pot Process
(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 ... -
Sustainable Low-Cost Phosphorus Recovery Using Nanostructured Materials with Reusability Potential
(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 ...
