Benchmarking tertiary water treatments for the removal of micropollutants and pathogens based on operational and sustainability criteria
(Elsevier, 2022)In a context of increasing water scarcity, it is essential to ensure an integrated watershed management, savings in the consumption of water as a finite resource and improve the performance of wastewater treatment plants ... -
Competitive adsorption and desorption of tetracycline and sulfadiazine in crop soils
(Elsevier, 2022)In view of the environmental issues caused by antibiotics, this research studies competitive adsorption/desorption for tetracycline (TC) and sulfadiazine (SDZ) in agricultural soils. Competitive adsorption was studied in ... -
Identification and determination of emerging pollutants in sewage sludge driven by UPLC-QTOF-MS data mining
(Elsevier, 2021)Sludge from sewage treatment plants (STPs) is recognized as a sink of moderate to high lipophilic compounds resistant to biodegradation. Herein, we investigate the presence of emerging pollutants in sewage sludge combining ... -
Legacy and emerging pollutants in marine bivalves from the Galician coast (NW Spain)
(Elsevier, 2019-05-28)The presence of pollutants in estuary and oceanic systems is a global problem and a serious concern to human and environmental health. Usually, environmental monitoring studies consider classical persistent organic pollutants ... -
New applications of mass spectrometry to the identification and quantification of emerging pollutants and their transformation products
(2020)This PhD dissertation describes several screening strategies for the detection and identification of emerging pollutants in environmental samples. Valuable information about the presence and concentrations of different ... -
Potential of low-cost bio-adsorbents to retain amoxicillin in contaminated water
(Elsevier, 2022)Sewage sludge as agricultural amendment is the main route of human-medicine antibiotics to enter soils. When reaching environmental compartments, these compounds can cause significant risks to human and ecological health. ... -
Relevance of sorption in bio-reduction of amoxicillin taking place in forest and crop soils
(Elsevier, 2022)The fate of antibiotics reaching soils is a matter of concern, given its potential repercussions on public health and the environment. In this work, the potential bio-reduction of the antibiotic amoxicillin (AMX), affected ... -
Retention of the Antibiotic Cefuroxime onto Agricultural and Forest Soils
(MDPI, 2021)Antibiotics in wastewater, sewage sludge, manures, and slurries constitute a risk for the environment when spread on soils. This work studies the adsorption and desorption of the antibiotic cefuroxime (CFX) in 23 agricultural ... -
Study of UV filters in cosmetic products and environmental samples
(2018)The main objective of this thesis is to develop analytical methods to determine a kind of cosmetic ingredients, the UV filters, in the cosmetics themselves, and in environmental matrices such as waters and beach sand. For ...
