Valorization of Agroindustrial Waste as Biosorbent of Lead (II) in Solution and its Reuse in the Manufacture of Building Bricksby
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Abstract
Lead is a non-biodegradable toxic heavy metal. Biosorption process is an attractive technique to remediate lead-contaminated environments because it is simple, effective and low-cost. In addition, rice husk constitutes a highly available residual biomass that could be used as bioadsorbent. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the biosorption of lead on natural and chemically treated rice husk and evaluate the incorporation of the residue (biomass-contaminant) into ceramic matrices to immobilize the removed le [...] 99 554 |

Construction & Demolition Waste and Circular Economy: The Case Study of a Brazilian CityAbstract
Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is a significant waste stream in Brazil. It represents 38.2% of the total CDW and MSW streams. The recycling of CDW in Brazil is estimated to be at least 7.2% by weight (collected CDW) or about 15% by volume (produced CDW). Therefore, only a tiny part of CDW is returned to construction activities. On the other hand, 48.9% of the total amount of the top fifty extracted minerals in the country is sand and gravel, which is used in the national construction industry. Considering [...] 135 861 |
Mechanical Characterization of a Tunable 3-D Collagen-Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel for Use in Cell Cultureby
![]() ![]() Abstract
Many cells demonstrate variances in behavior due to their cell culture environment. To provide a mechanically-tunable, tissue-like environment, a 3D hydrogel for cell culture was formulated using collagen (Col) and hyaluronic acid (HA) to help provide a system for studying these dynamic cellular responses in a soft-tissue environment. A design of experiments was organized to study the effects of collagen concentration, HA fragment size, and Col: HA mass ratio on the hydrogel mechanical properties. Mechanical charac [...] 105 698 |
Viral/Non-Viral Vectors in DNA/RNA Delivery TechnologyAbstract
Viral and non-viral vectors for nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) therapeutics are important in development of pharmaceutical industries. Although viral vectors have shown significant impact in transfection of DNA/RNA, but numerus studies have shown that non-viral vectors are also effective for the safe and targeted delivery of DNA/RNA to exact location in the body with high percentage of efficacy, safety, and low-immunogenicity. It is also important to protect the nucleic acids from degradation and large-scale production ca [...] 192 1019 |
