摘要
Sewage sludge, produced daily and inherent to urban development, presents problems of disposal that are still challenging today. Its disposal still offers palliative solutions, where the final destination is generally in landfills or, restrictively, to use in agriculture. The synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from sewage sludge is a better alternative to use the stock of organic material present in the sludge. The present work aims to produce Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using principles of green chemistry and to use an alternative raw material intrinsic stock of carbon present in sewage sludge, making its final disposal more sustainable. The material obtained has a core structure mainly composed of sp 2 carbon and nitrogen. The surface functional groups containing sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen of CQDs were investigated using FTIR and TG/DSC coupled FTIR techniques. The CQDs showed a luminescence decay time equivalent to fluorescent compounds and with satisfying quantum yield since no passive/oxidizing agent or material purification process was used. The photoluminescence spectroscopy analysis showed that the CDQs excitation λ max was at 360 nm and caused a λ max emission at 437 nm (CQDs a ) and 430 nm (CQDs b ). The CQDs obtained showed sizes of 9.69 ± 2.64 nm (CQDs a ) and 10.92 ± 2.69 nm (CQDs b ). In vitro experiments demonstrated the uptake of CQDs by the endothelial cell line EAhy 926 and their nontoxicity. However, the production of CQDs can be used for the sustainable disposal of sewage sludge.
