The design of processes involving microwave technology is dependent on the dielectric properties materials being processed. constant and loss factor pure liquids methanol, ethanol, glycerin sulfuric acid, as well vegetable oils (Brazil nut soybean), were measured using a vector network analyzer in an open-ended coaxial probe method (frequency range 300 MHz to 13 GHz) at various temperatures. For measurement during acid-catalyzed transesterification two oil:ethanol molar ratios three...
The development of novel phytotoxic compounds has been an important aim weed control research. In this study, we synthesized fluorinated chalcone derivatives featuring both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups. These were evaluated as inhibitors the photosystem II (PSII) electron chain well germination seedling growth Amaranthus plants. Chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence assay was employed to evaluate their effects on PSII, while experiments conducted assess impact development....
Fungal contamination of Brazil nuts can cause health problems, which limits their worldwide consumption and leads to economic restrictions for the producing regions. In this study nut seeds by aflatoxin-producing fungal strains was investigated. It observed that 31 isolated from inside seed coat, 39% showed aflatoxigenic potential, indicating a high level microorganisms produce aflatoxins, have strong carcinogenic hepatotoxic activity. The moisture content water activity are determining...
In this study, artificial neural network (ANN) tools were employed to forecast the adsorption capacity of Malachite green (MG) by baru fruit endocarp waste (B@FE) under diverse conditions, including pH, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, contact time, and temperature. Enhanced efficiency was notably observed alkaline pH conditions (pH 10). Kinetic analysis indicated that process closely followed a pseudo-second-order model, while equilibrium studies revealed Langmuir isotherm as...
The microwave-assisted interesterification of babassu oil with methyl, ethyl and butyl acetates was carried out via acid catalysis, using sulfuric, phosphoric, methanesulfonic acetic acids for the production biodiesel triacetin as an additive. Dielectric measurements in range 0.3 to 13 GHz pure reactants reactions media lead a clear understanding interaction between medium microwave irradiation, allowing achieving optimal conditions terms power, kind catalyst concentration, reactant molar...
Sewage sludge, produced daily and inherent to urban development, presents problems of disposal that are still challenging today. Its offers palliative solutions, where the final destination is generally in landfills or, restrictively, use agriculture. The synthesis carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from sewage sludge a better alternative stock organic material present sludge. work aims produce Carbon using principles green chemistry an raw intrinsic making its more sustainable. obtained has core...
The effect of different heterogeneous catalysts on the microwave-assisted transesterification sunflower oil for production methylic biodiesel in a monomode microwave reactor is described.The experiments were carried out at 70 °C with 16:1 methanolsunflower molar ratio and basic acidic catalysts.The results showed that microwave-heated reactions occur up to four times faster than those conventional heating.The performed 24 catalysts; pure calcium oxide (CaO) potassium carbonate, either or...
Microwave heating technology is dependent on the dielectric properties of materials being processed. The H2SO4, H3PO4, ClSO3H, and H3CSO3H were investigated in this study using a vector network analyzer an open-ended coaxial probe method at various temperatures. Phosphoric sulfuric acids presented higher loss tangents frequency range 0.3-13 GHz, reflecting greater mobility ions counterions. employed as catalysts microwave-assisted homogeneous transesterification reactions for production...
