Adsorption of Metformin on Activated Carbon Produced from the Water Hyacinth Biowaste Using H3PO4 as a Chemical Activator
(MDPI, 2022)
Water hyacinth biomass was used for the synthesis of activated carbons in the process of chemical activation with H3PO4, followed by controlled carbonization. The study investigates the effect of various impregnation weight ...
Indium Recovery from Jarosite Pb–Ag Tailings Waste (Part 1)
(MDPI, 2023)
The processing of zinc ore using hydrometallurgical methods leads to the formation and accumulation of a by-product called jarosite, which contains concentrated precious metals. In this study, we propose the recovery of ...
Potential of organic carbonates production for efficient carbon dioxide capture, transport and storage: Reaction performance with sodium hydroxide–ethanol mixtures
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Carbon dioxide storage is one of the main long-term strategies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. A clear example is Norway's Longship project. If these projects should succeed, the transport of huge ...
Ability of Deep Eutectic Solvent Modified Oat Straw for Cu(II), Zn(II), and Se(IV) Ions Removal
(MDPI, 2023)
In the proposed study, agro-waste biomass oat straw (OS) was considered a potential adsorbent for Cu(II), Zn(II), and Se(IV) removal from aqueous solutions. In order to obtain material with better adsorption abilities, the ...
Effect of the Deposition of Vanadium-Oxide on the Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2 Nanotubes and Its Photodiode Performance Interfaced with CH3NH3PbI3 Single Crystal
(MDPI, 2023)
In this study, we report the influence of vanadium oxide (VO), as a photosensitive component, on the photoactivity of TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs). A series of TNTs of varying tube diameter were synthesized by the anodization of ...
Structure-Dependent Electrochemical Behavior of 2-Pyridone Derivatives: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study
(MDPI, 2023)
In this work, the electrooxidation ability of nine pyridones was evaluated using cyclic(CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV) in Britton–Robinson (BR) aqueous buffer solutions on aglassy carbon electrode (GC). The dependence ...
The Effect of Acrylate on the Properties and Machinability of Alumina Ceramics
(International Institute for the Science of Sintering (IISS), 2023)
Effect of methyl methacrylate (MMA) as a binder and heating treatment were investigated to improve green alumina compacts machinability. Properties of green compacts and their corresponding sintered samples prepared with ...
Preparation and Characterization of Geopolymers Based on Metakaolin with the Addition of Organic Phase PVA
(MDPI, 2023)
Geopolymers have excellent physical and mechanical properties, so they can be used as a substitute for ordinary polymers. Geopolymers are ceramic materials, which exhibit the property of brittleness, which can be a limitation ...
KIT-5-Assisted Synthesis of Mesoporous SnO2 for High-Performance Humidity Sensors with a Swift Response/Recovery Speed
(MDPI, 2023)
Developing highly efficient semiconductor metal oxide (SMOX) sensors capable of accurate and fast responses to environmental humidity is still a challenging task. In addition to a not so pronounced sensitivity to relative ...
Achieving a Superhydrophobic, Moisture, Oil and Gas Barrier Film Using a Regenerated Cellulose–Calcium Carbonate Composite Derived from Paper Components or Waste
(MDPI, 2022)
It has been a persistent challenge to develop eco-friendly packaging cellulose film providing the required multiple barrier properties whilst simultaneously contributing to a circular economy. Typically, a cellulosic film ...
