Active surface materials such as activated carbon are used in the removal of contaminants and dyes in effluents. The primary objective of this study was to convert starchy corncobs into valuable activated carbon, capable of efficiently adsorbing dyes...

Banisteriopsis and Stigmaphyllon are among the most species-rich liana genera in the Neotropical Malpighiaceae family, known for their diverse chemical and biological activities. However, metabolomic information correlating these genera with their bi...

The widespread presence of pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) in aquatic environments raises significant environmental and public health concerns, particularly through their accumulation in marine biota and potential transfer to humans via seafo...

This study addresses the technical challenges of conventional coal slurry sedimentation equipment in handling fine coal particles, such as poor settling performance and strong dependence on chemical reagents, by designing a novel high-gravity sedimen...

In this study, we developed a rapid method for determining lead(II) by integrating solid-phase extraction with digital image colorimetry to reduce the time and labor required for the analysis of lead(II) in water samples. The solid-phase extraction c...

Ultrafine particles, as raw materials for various industries such as construction and environmental protection, are currently obtained through repeated ball milling and multiple classifications, but classification efficiency remains at a low level. B...

Chicken egg is included among the main components of the human diet as an important source of nutrients, such as proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals and carotenoids. The latter are terpenoid pigments present in egg yolks, providing their color and p...

The extraction of high-quality DNA is essential for molecular analyses in grapevine, yet differences among commonly used protocols remain underexplored. This study compared two cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-based methods, with and without pol...

Spent automotive catalysts (SAC) not only contain significant amounts of platinum group metals (PGMs) but also hazardous heavy metals, rendering them a solid waste. A harmless technology for the efficient recovery of PGMs through copper smelting has...

Coalbed methane (CBM) is a vital clean energy resource, yet its extraction efficiency is often hindered by rapid production decline and low production rates in medium-shallow reservoirs. This study investigates the potential of CO2 huff-and-puff tech...
