Study of ciprofloxacin adsorption isothersonspent coffee grounds

The adsorption isotherms of ciprofloxacin (CIP) by the spent coffee grounds (SCGs) was investigated. The adsorption isotherms were well described by the Langmuir model. This suggested that the strong interaction of CIP with the SCGs. Therefore, SCGs, as a green, environmental-friendly adsorbent, can be applied to the adsorption of contaminants in environment.

Economic impact of the cost of personal protective equipment to face the Covid-19 Pandemic: Integrative literature review

The COVID-19 disease was detected in Wuhan-China in December 2019; in March 2020, it was declared a pandemic. Due to the high transmissibility, there was a need to adapt protocols for the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to provide health care, substantially increasing its use. However, increased demand and production shortages culminated in rising costs. The aim of this study was to analyze the economic impact on the cost of acquiring PPE in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. An integrative literature review was performed in PubMed, LILACS and CINAHL databases.
