In recent years, the Italian peninsula has frequently been affected by fires in waste storage facilities, both accidental and malicious. Waste storage activities must comply with a series of regulations that require the employer to carefully assess t...
Dye wastewater poses significant risks to human health and aquatic ecosystems, necessitating efficient remediation strategies. This study developed a magnetic Fe2O3 nanocomposite (MNC) derived from phosphoric acid-treated walnut shell biomass carbon...
The article presents methods for processing low-grade phosphate raw materials from the Chilisay deposit using a circulation method to produce mineral fertilizers and feed monocalcium phosphate. A study was conducted on the process of obtaining high-q...
Copper zinc tin sulfide (commonly known as CZTS) solar cells (SCs) are gaining attention as a promising technology for sustainable electricity generation owing to their cost-effectiveness, availability of materials, and environmental advantages. The...
A key role of drilling optimization is reducing the cost and non-productive time (NPT) for drilling operations. The rate of penetration (ROP) directly affects the overall cost and cost per foot of drilling operations and could lead to significant cos...
The ever-growing environmental and sustainability awareness as well as the associated increased independence from petroleum has led to bio-based materials increasingly replacing synthetic, non-renewable materials in various applications, including fo...
The aim of this study was to prepare nanogels based on gelatin and xanthan-aldehyde for the enhancement of ibuprofen transdermal delivery. Firstly, the process of formulating nanogels using the reaction of Schiff’s base was optimized using expe...
Amid the advancements in computer-based chemical process modeling and simulation packages used in commercial applications aimed at accelerating chemical process design and analysis, there are still certain tasks in design optimization, such as distil...
The reliance on greenhouse gas-emitting unrenewable energy sources such as coal, natural gas, and oil, increases climate change. Transitioning to renewable energy, such as biogas, is crucial to reducing environmental degradation and global warming. T...
As a kind of high-oxygen organic liquid produced during biomass pyrolysis, wood vinegar possesses significant industrial value due to its rich composition of acetic acid, phenols, and other bioactive compounds. In this study, we explore the applicati...
Adenocaulon himalaicum is widely distributed across Asia. In its early growth stages, A. himalaicum is traditionally consumed as a food source in Korea. Although previous research has identified the presence of bioactive compounds in A. himalaicum ex...
This study aimed at preparing three types of biochar derived from rice husk via pyrolysis, including unactivated biochar, biochar chemically activated after with H3PO4, and biochar impregnated with γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. These materials were su...
The introduction of a gas phase into a liquid is used in a variety of technical applications. Based on the purpose of the application, different flow behaviors of the gas phase and specific gas phase parameters are preferred. In this study, the influ...
The method of matched asymptotic expansions is applied to analyze the meniscus around a floating particle. The asymptotic solutions, derived while considering Fraenkel’s warning, are expressed as functions of the filling angle and contact angle...
This study presents an effective plasma treatment method for doping technical carbon by nitrogen- and sulfur-containing functional groups. Nitrogen incorporation shifted the oxygen reduction reaction onset potential by 0.25 V and increased the limiti...
Silica–zirconia nanoparticles were successfully synthesised using the precipitation process. The surface area and shape of the Si-ZrO2 nanoparticles were investigated using BET, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and t...
The Cocoa Pod Husk (CPH) accounts for 67–76% of the total cocoa fruit weight, making it its main agro-industrial waste of cocoa production. A valorization of this waste is possible through the extraction of pectin. In this study, pectin was ext...
Asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) stand as prevalent chronic ailments impacting children within the United States. It is approximated that as many as 40% of American children exhibit symptoms indicative of AR, a condition which, if inadequately manag...
The need to conserve water is important, as it is predicted that in approximately 20 years there will be a global water shortage. In Mexico and the rest of the world, scientists are constantly looking for methods to help conserve and improve the proc...
Traditional bricks are still the most widely used building material in Madagascar. Bricks are made from clay that is fired for weeks in open-air kilns (600–750 °C) by using rice husks, peat, charcoal, coal, and wood as fuels. This process c...
A challenge for the oil refinement industry is the production of high-octane gasoline with a low benzene content. This work reports the calculation of the atmospheric benzene emissions generated from gasoline storage, transfer, and transport operatio...
