Road sediments have the potential to accumulate heavy metals and other toxic pollutants that come from vehicular emissions, tire and brake wear, pavement degradation, and other man-made sources. Ten (n=10) Road sediment samples were collected from areas near an industrial power plant site, AES Power Plant, Guayama, Puerto Rico in order to evaluate potential contaminant […]
B70: Investigation of Pyrolyzed Polydimethylsiloxane as an Adsorbent for Pb in Water
Porous materials and mediums such as activated carbon and membranes have been playing a vital role in catalyzing chemical reactions and removing notoriously harmful environmental contaminants. Given the growing population and the rising initiatives to significantly reduce pollution by 2050, the global scientific community continues to remain interested in coming up with low-cost, innovative yet […]
