Techno-economic aspects of concrete lightweighting by char enrichment with phosphates from wastewater by Josef Marousek, Beata Gavurova, Anna Marouskova, Babak Minofar

“…Unique laboratory findings indicate that iron phosphates (FeP) on charred digestate can enhance concrete strength parameters (up to 80 %); reducing weight (- 18 %) and production cost (- 4 %) while turning carbon emissions into carbon sequestration. The mechanisms behind the experimental results are investigated through molecular modeling. …”

Doxycycline Degradation by the Oxidative Fenton Process by Alexandre A. Borghi, Milena F. Silva, Saleh Al Arni, Attilio Converti, Mauri S. A. Palma

“…Experiments were performed according to an experimental Rotational Central Composite Design to investigate the influence of temperature (0–40.0°C), H2O2 concentration (100–900 mg/L), and Fe2+ concentration (5–120 mg/L) on residual doxycycline and total organic carbon concentrations. Whereas the final residual doxycycline concentration ranged from 0 to 55.8 mg/L, the oxidation process proved unable to reduce the total organic carbon by more than 30%. …”
