“…However, there are many difficulties in the removal of color and dissolved organic compounds, in addition to the great disadvantage of being very susceptible to the effluent composition (shock loads), and producing a large volume of sludge [5,7,8]. Currently there are physical and chemical processes of precipitation, flocculation, electrolysis, crystallization or adsorption for the decontamination of heavy metals in environments, however, these processes can be burdensome and/or contribute to formation of new environmental contaminants, so it becomes necessary to develop more cost-effective technologies and practices for the removal of these elements, which are responsible for a high level of toxicity to living systems.Thus different techniques and processes have been used aiming at the removal of xenobiotic [1,3,[5][6][7][8].…”
