The rapid pace of global industrialization and population growth has intensified freshwater scarcity and water pollution, necessitating urgent solutions. Adsorption technology, favored for its cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and scalability, has emer...
The efficient separation and removal of carbon dioxide (
The rapid expansion of industrial and agricultural activities in recent years has significantly contributed to water pollution leading to a decline in water quality and the need for effective treatment and reuse strategies. Metal contamination in wat...
With the rapid development of China’s zinc-related industries, the grade of zinc concentrate has steadily declined, while the generation of zinc-containing solid waste has shown a significant upward trend. To address this issue, a collaborative...
Barley sprouts, rich in bioactive compounds, have gained attention as functional food ingredients because of their antioxidant potential. This study evaluated their bioactive composition and antioxidant capacity, focusing on the saponarin, chlorophyl...
Several D-amino acid residue-containing peptides (DAACPs) with antimicrobial, cardio-excitatory, and neuronal activities have been identified in various species. The L-Asn-D-Trp-L-Phe-NH2 (N(dW)F) tripeptide, derived from Aplysia kurodai, exhibits ca...
In this study, Acidthiobacillus ferrooxidans LX5 was used as an experimental microbial strain, and differences in biological oxidation between high-sulfur coal and pure pyrite were thoroughly investigated over 18 days in acidic environments with init...
Pectin is a complex and versatile polysaccharide crucial for various industries. It functions as a thickener, gelling agent, emulsifier, and low-calorie food. Its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties have attracted biomedical interest, w...
Although total selenium content is still useful in many areas, knowledge of its speciation is gaining importance as its various chemical forms have different environmental effects, toxicities and biological utilization. Among several methods used for...
Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) oil production generates press cakes, a by-product rich in plant-based proteins. As demand for alternative proteins grows, sustainable extraction methods like deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are essential for reducing the...
A method for the determination of trace selenium in water enriched by metal–organic−framework material (MIL−125−NH2) and reversed−phase ultra−high−performance liquid chromatography−diode array detection...
Sulfides should be removed before the recovery of cassiterite from tin-rich minerals due to their similarity in flotation properties. However, the traditional methods used have low selectivity. Therefore, moderately thermophilic microorganisms were u...
Multiple cyclones working in series are sufficient for heavy separation tasks at the cost of significant energy consumption. The majority of researchers conducting optimization studies on multiple cyclones have attempted to find the best possible com...
A robust and elegant approach, based on the Two-Zone Moment Analysis (TZMA) method, is proposed to assess the contributions of the mobile and stationary zones,
In the present work, brewer’s spent grain, BSG, the main by-product of beer production, was applied for the recovery of total polyphenols (TPs). Whole and ground BSG (wBSG and gBSG), derived from a Pilsen beer, was subjected to a solvent extrac...
A high proteolytic-resistant hexapeptide (αs1-CN 181–186) (1) along with two known 2,5-diketopiperazines, namely cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Phe) (2) and cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Tyr) (3), as well as the carboxylic acid 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (4), were isol...
The massive emission of low-concentration coal mine methane (CMM) has resulted in the ineffective utilization of a large amount of energy methane and caused environmental pollution. The gas mixture used in the study consisted of methane (CH4) 12% and...
Rice bean is a legume that is considered to be an important source of protein; it is still poorly understood but can produce peptides with various biological activities. These peptides can be released by enzymes during gastrointestinal passage and ha...
