Abstract
The US EPA regards “emerging pollutants” as new unregulated chemicals which impact the environment and human health. Many chemicals such as analgesics, anti-inflammatories, beta-blockers, antibiotics, and antimicrobials are not being effectively removed in water treatment. Triclosan, a ubiquitous antimicrobial that is widely used in antibacterial products and in clinical situations is of growing concern as it has been found to degrade human health with potentially devastating promotion of cancer and autoimmune diseases. In this study we are exploring the removal of triclosan using molecular modeling and absorptive/adsorption experiments on modified clays monitored by Tandem Liquid Chromatography — Mass Spectrometry (LCMS). Thin films and coatings offer the opportunity to build complex structures, save materials and engineer hybrid systems. Manual coating (brushing, dipping and air spraying) as well as 3D printing has been explored.
