Professional Profiles: 🎉
Research Focus: 🌍🔬

This person’s research focus spans diverse areas, showcasing a multidisciplinary approach. They delve into sustainable solutions using banana waste for critical rare earth recovery, explore starch gelatinization in Ecuadorian exportable bananas, and address environmental challenges through chitosan-iron (III) systems for mercury and lead sorption. The application of chitosan-based materials extends to neodymium and antimony removal, emphasizing their versatility. Additionally, their work involves assessing mercury levels in Ecuadorian coastal sediments and enhancing electrochemical sensors for chemical oxygen demand determination. The research culminates in innovative methods like Nafion film covers and chitosan-manganese-ferrite magnetic beads for efficient metal recovery.
