Micropollutants

, 2017
More than half of the human population currently lives in urban areas and according to the United Nations, cities will be the living space of an additional 2.5 billion people by the year 2050 (UN, 2015b). The proportion and speed of this urban growth increase the pressure on water resources, and this is often seen negatively.

Uncertainty in Environmental Micropollutant Modeling

Environmental Management
AbstractWater pollution policies have been enacted across the globe to minimize the environmental risks posed by micropollutants (MPs). For regulative institutions to be able to ensure the realization of environmental objectives, they need information on the environmental fate of MPs.

Sustainability Assessment: The Role of Entropy‐Based Indicators for Reconnecting Human' Subjectivity and Civilization With Natural Tendency of Ecosystems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability represents a complex issue in which scientific knowledge inevitably coexists with the subjective perception of humans in its turn influenced by civilization, cultural but also unconscious aspects. These results emerge with evidence from a critical analysis of the main definitions of sustainability delivered by credited entities (

Micropollutant Degradation Mechanism [PDF]

, 2011
The organic pollution is a major concern during the treatment of drinking-water as organic micro-pollutants might show disruptive and toxic properties. Organic micro-pollutants are found in surface and groundwaters at different concentrations, mostly between 0,1 and 100 μg/L (Panno&Kelly, 2004). Pesticides are known contaminants of concern.

Metal‐Free Ternary‐Composite Aerogel Based on Graphitic Carbon Nitride, Graphene Oxide, and β‐Cyclodextrin for Synergistic Adsorption and Photodegradation of Organic Dyes

Small, EarlyView.
A novel metal‐free g‐C3N4/GO/β‐CD aerogel exhibits a high adsorption capacity of 653.2 mg/g for RhB. The synergistic adsorption‐degradation effect of the aerogel enables the complete elimination of organic dyes. Fixed‐bed and recyclability tests demonstrate its potential for continuous industrial wastewater treatment.

Adsorptive removal of micropollutants by natural and faujasite zeolites: Structural effect of micropollutants on adsorption

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
To effectively characterize natural zeolite powder (ZP) and faujasite zeolite (FAU) as adsorbents to remove a wide variety of organic micropollutants, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models for the adsorption of zeolites were developed.
