Accumulation and detoxification of sulfonated aromatic compounds from dye and textile industries by different plant species

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

Sulfonated anthraquinones are precursors of a large family of synthetic dyes and pigments, recalcitrant to biodegradation and thus not eliminated by classical wastewater treatments. In the development of a phytotreatment to remove sulfonated aromatic compo ...

From green to clean: options for phytoremediation and phytoextraction of organic pollutants

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

The use of green plants specifically chosen or tailored for the remediation of polluted soils and brownfields, the treatment of industrial wastewater or the removal of volatile organic compounds from indoor or outdoor air is becoming essential for sustaina ...

Accumulation and transoformation of sulfonated aromatic compounds by higher plants - toward the phytotreatment of wastewater from dye and textile industries

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Sylvie Aubert, Stéphanie Braillard

Sulfonated anthraquinones are precursors of many synthetic dyes and pigments, recalcitrant to biodegradation and thus not eliminated by classical wastewater treatments. In the development of a phytoremediation process to remove sulfonated aromatic compound ...

Self-Cleaning cotton textiles surfaces modified by photoactive SiO2/TiO2 coating

Danièle Laub

The photocatalytic activity of TiO2–SiO2-coated cotton textiles was investigated through the self-cleaning of red wine stains. It was shown that a TiO2–SiO2 species could be produced at temperatures of 100 °C with acceptable photo-activity on non-heat resi ...

Performance and characterization of Ag-cotton and Ag/TiO2 loaded textiles during the abatement of E. coli

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Danièle Laub

The bacterial inactivation of Escherichia coli on Ag–cotton textiles were investigated under different experimental conditions with novel Ag-nanoparticles fixed on cotton textiles. The evaluation of the bactericide performance of the Ag–cotton was compared ...

L'espace contre l'architecture

Grégory Azar

This research work analyses Theo van Doesburg's Counter-constructions presented in Paris in 1923 at the "L'Effort Moderne" exhibition. These Counter-constructions stand as icons of the Modern Movement due to their role as precursors of a new "boundless" sp ...
