Work by LEPABE team is highlighted as feature paper in Materials
Posted on June 4th, 2020
The article “Water Decontamination with Magnetic Particles by Adsorption and Chemical Degradation. Influence of the Manufacturing Parameters” is a feature paper in the last issue of Materials, a journal from MDPI.
This paper resulted from the work developed by a team from LEPABE, led by Prof. Domingos Barbosa, in collaboration with a team at the University of Salamanca. In this paper the reverse co-precipitation method is used to produce magnetic particles for real environmental applications, since most of the processes for manufacturing magnetic particles are not able to be applied to large-scale real operations.
