Selenite (SeO3 2-) is a toxic selenium oxyanion which readily bio-accumulates in the food chain. Enterococcus species were found to reduce SeO3 2- to elemental selenium (Se0) more rapidly (in 1 h) as compared to ...

Palladium is a rare platinum group metal concentrated in the Earth's core and mantle; because of its scarcity, its waste recovery and reuse options are economically appealing. Traditional strategies for extracting PGMs ...

The aim of this work was to investigate a new, simple, one-pot combustion synthesis technique for creating sulphur-based CuS/ZnS p-n heterojunction nanocomposite photocatalysts. This study examined the photocatalytic ...

The increasing concerns of climate change, energy generation, storage, consumption, and water pollution are topics that are gaining attention within modern research fields. This has led to numerous researchers devoting their ...

The scarcity of fresh water, which is aggravated by rapid economic development and population growth, is a major threat to the modern world. Solar-driven interfacial desalination and steam generation is a promising strategy ...

There is an increasing demand for environmentally sustainable alternative energy sources as the supply of fossil fuels dwindles and the concern about our carbon footprint continues to increase. Bioelectrogenesis is a process ...

PURPOSE : A variety of lignocellulosic raw materials have been previously reported for the production of cellulose and cellulose derivatives, but little research effort has been dedicated to producing cellulose from ...

The rising levels of global GHG emissions underpin climate change, hence, taking an appropriate inventory of the drivers and patterns of anthropogenic emissions remains crucial to mitigating global climate effects. However, ...

A nanocomposite of 2-napthalenesulfonic acid doped-polyaniline decorated with zero valent nickel nanoparticles (PANI-NSA@Ni0), was considered for the removal of hexavalent chromium from synthetic effluent. Adsorption conditions ...

BACKGROUND : Pyrolysis process is one of the most effective recycling methods due to its ability to recover products like gas, oil and char with oil being the major/important product. The shortcomings of waste tyre-derived ...
