Comparative Analysis for Pseudoboehmite Obtainded by Sol Gel Using Green Chemistry Expert System Sofware

Camargo G., Moreno J.C., Serna Saiz J., Suarez A.F., Universidad Libre, CO

Monohidróxide aluminum, known as pseudoboehmite (AlOOH) was obtained by the sol-gel method by the reaction between aluminum and isopropyl alcohol to produce aluminum isopropoxide using mercuric iodide and Iodine sublimed as catalyst. This work looks [...]

Optimizing the removal of Heavy Metals of an artificial wastewater by electrocoagulation using response surface methodology

Agudelo N., Suárez A., Universidad Libre, CO

The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to investigate the effects of pH and current density on the removal of cadmium, copper and zinc in a artificial wastewater with a large COD by electrocoagulation technique. [...]
