This paper aims to present a brief overview of different biosynthesis routes silver nanoparticles (NPs), their applications and influence the method used on size morphology these nanoparticles. A detailed comprehensive study available biological methods, also referred as bottom-up approach, well techniques reported, have been provided with an eye for details comparison between involving fungi, bacteria, algae plant extracts. Plant-derived bioreductants such leaf, stem or root extracts...
Abstract A novel triazene-anthracene-based fluorescent aminal linked porous organic polymer (TALPOP) was prepared via metal free-Schiff base polycondensation reaction of 9,10-bis-(4,6-diamino- S -triazin-2-yl)anthracene and 2-furaldehyde. The has exceptional chemical thermal stabilities exhibit good porosity with Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area 401 m 2 g −1 . combination such along the highly conjugated heteroatom-rich framework enabled to iodine vapor uptake up 314 wt % reversible...
The thermal conductivities of selected deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were determined using the modified transient plane source (MTPS) method over temperature range from 295 K to 363 at atmospheric pressure. results found 0.198 W·m−1·K−1 0.250 W·m−1·K−1. Various empirical and thermodynamic correlations present in literature, including group contribution mixing correlations, used model these DES different temperatures. predictions compared consolidated with reported experimental values. In...
A continuous electrocatalytic reactor offers a promising method for producing fuels and value-added chemicals via hydrogenation of biomass-derived compounds. However, such processes require better understanding the impact different types active electrodes reaction conditions on biomass conversion product selectivity. In this work, Ni1−xPdx (x = 0.25, 0.20, 0.15) alloyed nanostructures were synthesized as heterogeneous catalysts furfural. Various analytical tools, including XRD, SEM, EDS,...
The review sheds light on the various types of biorefineries and feedstocks employed, along with highlighting major fuels targeted from these feedstocks, before discussing conversion processes.
Various electrochemical techniques were employed to study the effectiveness of aqueous Ficus carica (Fig. tree) leaves extract as green corrosion inhibitor for mild steel under field conditions containing 3.5% sodium chloride solution saturated with carbon dioxide. Optimum inhibition efficiency 90% was obtained using 50 mg/L in temperature range 25–40 °C. The mode action leave revealed by Polarization studies shown act a mixed inhibitor. adsorption isotherm on surface found follow Langmuir...
Two novel nitrogen-rich aminal linked porous organic polymers, NRAPOP-O and NRAPOP-S, have been prepared using a single step-one pot Schiff-base condensation reaction of 9,10-bis-(4,6-diamino-S-triazin-2-yl)benzene 2-furaldehyde or 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde, respectively. The two polymers show excellent thermal physiochemical stabilities possess high porosity with Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas 692 803 m2 g−1 for Because such porosity, attractive chemical physical properties, the...
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes and their magnetite derivatives were employed as adsorbents for emulsified oil removal from produced water. The experimental parameters maximum efficiency effective regeneration of these determined. optimum in terms adsorbent dosage, contact time, salinity, pH temperature 3.0 g/L, 20.0 min, 0 ppm, 7.0 25°C both adsorbents. Due to low density, multiwalledcarbon could not be successfully packed bed columns. derivative has a larger density hence, the water column...
Cr(VI) removal from wastewater streams using sheep wool in sequential batch contactors (SBC) mode was investigated.The influence of the number on efficiency also studied.SBC carried out tanks containing 100 and 1000 mL solutions.Four SBC runs ensured complete whereas three reduced its concentration to 0.06 mg/L.Experiments both gave similar results, thus permitting scalability a pilot plant eventual industrial scale utilization.Regeneration studies were KCl.The optimum parameters terms time,...
Multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) were synthesized, characterized and successfully used for the removal of Pb 2+ from aqueous solutions.Adsorption results revealed that this surface modification increased adsorption capacity 3.84 to 141 mg/g.Adsorption on raw-MWCNTs followed Langmuir isotherm q m = mg/g K L 0.29 L/mg, whereas SLS-MWCNTs Freundlich n 2.50 F 15.40 mg 0.6 •L 0.4 /g.Adsorption kinetics raw MWCNTs a pseudo second order law rate...
