In the present study, we investigated to what extent soybean was used in industrial and homemade sausage produced in Kosovo, as well as its potential impact on the fatty acid profile. In total, 63 samples, 42 industrial and 21 traditional sausages, w...
Mixed matrix lithium adsorbents have attracted much interest for lithium recovery from brine. However, the absence of an interfacial interaction between the inorganic lithium-ion sieves (LISs) and the organic polymer matrix resulted in the poor struc...
Reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) relies on a non-polar stationary phase and a more polar hydro-organic mobile phase, where compound retention is primarily governed by hydrophobicity, with more hydrophobic compounds being retained longer. T...
Soil cadmium contamination is a global environmental issue, threatening ecosystem health and human safety. Common remediation strategies, including phytoremediation and soil replacement, are typically hampered by their lengthy processes or high costs...
The large amount of wastewater containing various pollutants generated during the tungsten beneficiation process has become a bottleneck for the sustainable development of tungsten mining enterprises. Typical pollutants mainly include suspended solid...
Submerged plants and related disturbances can affect both the phosphorus (P) release and the microbial communities in sediments. In this study, a sediment resuspension system was constructed, and P variability characteristics influenced by Vallisneri...
Epimedium is used in traditional Chinese medicine. Epimedium polysaccharides have a variety of physiological properties. This study compared three different processes for the extraction of polysaccharides from Epimedium spp., including ultrasonic, aq...
The flowers of the ylang ylang tree contain an essential oil which is utilized in high-quality perfumes. The traditional mode of extraction is by steam distillation but it has been shown that the more modern supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) using...
This study investigated the adsorption properties of graphene oxide in a magnetic-assisted adsorber for the depollution of water containing heavy metals. Two samples of graphene oxide with different surface chemistry were synthetized and assessed usi...
The increasing demand for effective cosmetics has driven the development of innovative analytical techniques to ensure product quality. This work presents the development and validation of a zwitterionic hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography...
The essential oil components of traditional Chinese medicine in-hospital preparation were complex, and one-dimensional chromatographic separation was difficult to completely separate them due to the limited peak capacity. This study was carried out t...
The depletion of fossil fuels has become a significant global issue, prompting scientists to explore and refine methods for harnessing alternative energy sources. This study provides a comprehensive review of advancements and emerging technologies in...
This study presents the development and validation of environmentally friendly analytical methods for quantifying Abiraterone Acetate (AA) in both its pure form and commercial pharmaceutical formulations. An optimized High-Performance Liquid Chromato...
Pervaporation has been a central subject in the research community within the scope of the further development of energy- and cost-efficient alternatives to conventional liquid–liquid separation technologies. The potential eligibility of four c...
The extraction of rare earth elements (REEs) from mineral resources is of significant global importance due to their critical role in modern technologies. This study focuses on the leaching behavior of artificial cerium and lanthanum phosphates using...
The treatment and purification of rural domestic sewage (RDS) is a pivotal focus in enhancing the living environment in rural areas. Since 2008, special funds for comprehensive rural environmental improvement have been established by the Chinese gove...
This study aimed to investigate the bioaccessibility and biostability of carotenoids, vitamin E isomers, and individual polyphenolic compounds after the in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of two types of berries (raspberry and blackberry fruits). Th...
Diclofenac is one of the most common, commercially available, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the world, with thousands of tons produced and consumed per year, which creates issues related to its presence in water bodies and the nee...
The gas–liquid multiphase process plays a crucial role in the chemical industry, and the utilization of packed beds enhances separation efficiency by increasing the contact area and promoting effective gas–liquid interaction during the se...
Owing to the toxicity and widespread use of copper, the pollution caused by copper ions has become a long-standing environmental and industrial challenge. In this study, a new adsorbent was developed to dispose of and remove copper ions from water. T...
Although not expected to be used due to restrictions raised on their usage, Persisted Organic Pollutants (POP) such as organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs) can be found in several matrices, even nowadays. The lack of biodegradation and, furthermore, t...
A pilot-scale investigation of ozonation combined with electrolysis (E-O3) was performed to treat concentrated wastewater from a reverse osmosis system from the printing and dyeing industry. It was found that E-O3 only exhibits an efficiency advantag...
Triterpenoid saponins from the Astragalus species possess valuable effects (cytotoxic, adjuvant, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, antiviral, etc.). Some also have immunomodulatory activities. Astragalus glycyphyllos is distributed in Bulgaria and m...
The increasing global reliance on pesticides for agricultural pest control has raised significant environmental concerns, particularly due to inadequate monitoring of emerging chemicals in surface waters. This study addresses the potential contaminat...
