This master’s dissertation addresses the development, analytical performance characteristics, and application of analytical methods for the determination of trace metals in urban dust samples, with a focus on the environmental ...

Air pollution has been a major focus of study in the scientific community, aiming to understand its implications for human health, ecosystems, and material heritage, identifying itself as a key element in the pursuit ...

In a contemporary world marked by environmental imbalance, the Energy Transition arises as a solution to mitigate the emission of pollutants from fossil fuels burning. Following this scenario, a promising alternative is, ...

Dry reforming of methane enables the production of synthesis gas (syngas) with an H₂:CO ratio of approximately 1:1 from CH₄ and CO₂, both greenhouse gases, using nickel-based catalysts. In this work, a perovskite route was ...

Collective brands are symbols that distinguish products and services on the market, linked to a collective, without necessarily being linked to a territory. However, in a city, traditional places of occupation can be ...

Thymol and carvacrol are phenolic monoterpenes consisting of a six-membered aromatic ring substituted by a hydroxyl group, an isopropyl group, and a methyl group. Besides their low cost and wide availability, both stand ...

A primary global concern in recent decades has been the improper disposal of pharmaceutical drugs due to their interaction with the ecosystem. Therefore, it is necessary to develop materials and processes that can degrade ...

Anthropogenic actions are the main contributors to the deposition of potentially toxic chemical elements in the environment. Pollinating agents, such as bees, can interact with these chemical species, leading to the transfer ...

The contamination of coffee beans, used in the production of instant coffee, with potentially toxic elements may pose risks to human health, making their monitoring necessary. Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) represent ...

The contamination of food and beverages with microplastics (MP) from environmental, packaging, and containers has been evidenced in recent years. Moreover, adsorptive processes involving MP and inorganic species in aqueous ...
