Water-resistant and environmentally friendly sodium-alginate-based films have been investigated to develop functional materials extend the food’s shelf-life. A water-stable alginate-based film was prepared, employing both internal external gelation approach in presence of CaCl2. To apply this food packaging thus preserve quality, aim work is perform a chemical physical characterization proposed materials, evidencing main features stability under different conditions. Water contact angle...
This paper reported the first example on use of chitosan films, without further modification, to remove and recover, through bio-sorption processes, emerging pollutant Diclofenac from water. The latter was adopted as a model, among non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, by obtaining maximum adsorption capacity, qmax, about 10 mg/g, under applied experimental conditions work. literature gap which already used for dyes heavy metals removal, adsorb pollutants water covered, claiming wide range...
In this work, for the first time, snail slime from garden snails “<italic>Helix Aspersa Müller</italic>”, has been used to induce formation of eco-friendly gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-SS) suitable biomedical applications.
During the last decades, demand for processes developed according to Circular Economy Principles has increased, searching an alternative life wastes. For this purpose, a one-pot green approach is exploited during work synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by using grape pomace waste from Vitis vinifera. A raw aqueous extract of seeds, skin, and stems used AuNPs synthesis. UV-Vis, XPS, SEM, ATR-FTIR spectroscopies demonstrate main role extract's polyphenolic components in stabilizing...
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with different grain size after grinding (fine and coarse) was recycled used as aggregate for non-conventional lightweight cement mortars. The physical mechanical characteristics were compared to conventional sand-based composites. workability in the fresh state evaluated. Accordingly, composites showed decreases fluidity increases PET percentage weight. Higher thermal insulation lower strengths observed increase plastic dosage due a density decrease porosity...
In this paper, industrial dyes, Disperse Red and Orange, were studied as model pollutants to show the excellent performance of olive pomace (OP) in sequestering recovering these dangerous dyes from wastewater. The nature interactions involved between OP inferred by changing several parameters: contact time, dosage, pH temperature values. Visible spectroscopy was mainly used obtain percentage removed while SEM (scanning electron microscopy), FTIR-ATR (Fourier transform infra-red total...
Seafood, a delight for many people, is sold in the market as wide variety of products. However, seafood industries produce by-products; example, during processing, heads and shells shellfish are generated waste. This results generation large amount shell waste that accumulated over time, inducing major environmental concern. Effective solutions recycling should be taken into consideration, extraction commercially useful substances like chitin its derivates, such chitosan, could valid...
Abstract One of the major problems related to use dyes in industrial applications is their elimination from water or soil and eventually recovery reutilization. In this context, a new biocompatible material, previously considered suitable for biomedical applications, presented first time, as an innovative adsorbent material wastewater treatment. A polyamidoamine‐based hydrogel, prepared by Michael‐type polyaddition water, used efficiently adsorbing two anionic toxic textile aqueous...
In this work, the great performance of chitosan-based films blended with TiO2 (CH/TiO2) is presented to adsorb hazardous pollutant 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) from water. The DNP was successfully removed, a high adsorption %: CH/TiO2 exhibited maximum capacity 900 mg/g. For pursuing proposed aim, UV–Vis spectroscopy considered powerful tool for monitoring presence in purposely contaminated Swelling measurements were employed infer more information about interactions between chitosan and DNP,...
