Separations, Volume 12, Issue 6

This study presents a cost-effective and feasible technique for the deep denitrification of wastewater, based on sulfur autotrophic denitrification mediated by polysulfides (Sn2−). Various polysulfides were used as electron donors in an aerobic...

The pharmacological potential of Lamiaceae plants is primarily linked to their high content of phenolic acids and flavonoids, known for strong antioxidant properties. This study investigated the antioxidant activity of ten widely used Lamiaceae herbs...

Antimony (Sb) is a metalloid widely used in different areas—from the cutting-edge renewable energy technologies to “classical” lead acid batteries. Its availability in primary sources is limited, and these sources are geographically...

The unregulated consumption of corticosteroids causes significant adverse effects on human health. Therefore, it is important to develop methodologies that allow their analysis in pharmaceutical matrices with competitive analysis times and costs. The...

Hydrothermal conversion is an effective strategy to transform heavy metals in electroplating sludge into catalytic materials and use them to treat electroplating wastewater. This study presents a one-step hydrothermal method for converting Sn-bearing...

The efficient separation of light hydrocarbons, particularly alkanes from their isomers (C5–C6), represents a significant and energy-intensive challenge for the petrochemical industry. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) offer promising solutions d...

The present study aimed to investigate Greek Kollitsida root samples from different geographical regions based on physicochemical and antibacterial analyses. For this purpose, samples were treated with different solvents, deionized water (solvent A)...

The hydrocyclone generally exhibits limited separation efficiency and classification sharpness. As the discharge channel for fine particles, the vortex finder plays a critical role in influencing the classification performance through its structural...

As sustainability gains prominence, the circular economy has encouraged the valorization of agri-food by-products, which are rich in phenolic compounds known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Conventional extraction methods comm...

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDESs) are emerging solvents for their yield when used for extraction of different molecules, including polyphenols. NaDESs are a cutting-edge technology that offers numerous advantages, including cheap cost, safety,...
