Chemosphere. 2024 Feb 27:141571. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141571. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe treatment of various organic pollutants from industrial wastewater using bio-based materials has gained significant attention owing to their excellent properties such as low-cost, eco-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradability. In this perspective, casein (Cn), a protein-based biopolymer, was extracted from the cow milk as a low-cost adsorbent, and the adsorption performances were determined for the pristine Cn. The adsorbent was employed for the removal of two different classes of targeted pollutant anionic dyes such ...

The mechanism and reaction kinetics of visible light active bismuth oxide deposited on titanium vanadium oxide for aqueous diclofenac photocatalysis
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Feb 28. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-32477-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNon-uniform, non-spherical bismuth oxide deposited on titanium vanadium oxide (3%-BVT1) was successfully synthesized via co-precipitation method and assessed for visible light degradation of aqueous diclofenac. The synthesized photocatalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Up to 80.7% diclofenac degradation was observed with a significant increment in reaction...

Evaluation of diclofenac utilization patterns before and after digital risk minimization intervention in outpatient settings in Montenegro
ConclusionsAlthough a significant decrease in diclofenac prescription in both cohorts occurred, diclofenac is still prescribed, even in diagnoses contraindicated for its use. Further improvements of existing tools and the creation of new ones are necessary for minimization of cardiovascular and other risks related to diclofenac. (Source: Drugs and Therapy Perspectives)

Adsorption of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs traces in water on clay minerals
Chemosphere. 2024 Feb 20:141469. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141469. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to assess the adsorption of four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), namely Paracetamol (PRC), Diclofenac (DIC), Ibuprofen (IBU), and Ketoprofen (KET), using both batch and continuous experiments with clay. Various analytical techniques, including XRD, FTIR, SEM coupled to EDX, and Zeta potential, were employed to characterize both raw and calcined clay. XRD and FTIR analyses confirmed the kaolinite nature of the clay. SEM data revealed a lamellar structure formed in the clay after ca...

Comparing different versions of the Yoon-Nelson model in describing organic micropollutant adsorption within fixed bed adsorbers
This study aims to augment its modeling efficacy through two proposed refinements found in the literature: a logarithmic transformation and the incorporation of steric hindrance effects. We systematically evaluated the original Yoon-Nelson model alongside the modified versions, using breakthrough data associated with micropollutant adsorption on solid materials. Three distinct cases were scrutinized: (1) caffeine adsorption on activated carbon; (2) tetracycline adsorption on hierarchical porous carbon; and (3) diclofenac adsorption on organoclay. While all three models demonstrated comparable performance with highly symmet...
