The desulphurisation of biogas for hydrogen sulphide (H2S) removal constitutes a significant challenge in the area research. This is because retention H2S presents negative consequences on human health and equipment durability. impacts are reflective potentially fatal corrosive reported when containing inhaled employed as boiler biofuel, respectively. Recognising importance producing H2S-free biogas, this paper explores current state research biogas. In present paper, physical–chemical,...

Apple pomace (AP) from the food industry is a mixture of different fractions containing bioactive polyphenolic compounds. This study provides systematic approach toward recovery and evaluation physiochemical biological properties compounds AP. We studied subcritical water extraction (SCW) solvent with ethanol four AP pulp, peel, seed, core, stem (A), peel (B), seed core (C), pulp (D). The method at optimum condition resulted in total (TPC) 39.08 ± 1.10 mg GAE per g on dry basis compared to...

The management of wound healing represents a significant clinical challenge due to the complicated processes involved. Chitosan has remarkable properties that effectively prevent certain microorganisms from entering body and positively influence both red blood cell aggregation platelet adhesion in bloodstream, resulting favorable hemostatic outcome. In recent years, chitosan-based hydrogels have been widely used as dressings their biodegradability, biocompatibility, safety, non-toxicity,...

Abstract Peripheral nerve injury often leads to the loss of neurological functions due slow regeneration rate and inefficient functional reconstruction. Current clinical treatments using guidance conduits (NGCs) still face challenges in providing a biomimetic microenvironment promote repair. Herein, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) is obtained from porcine Achilles tendon crosslinked with 3‐amino‐4‐methoxybenzoic acid grafted gelatin (PAMB‐G) obtain conductive hydrogels. Then,...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) and HA-based nanocomposites have been recognized as ideal biomaterials in hard tissue engineering because of their compositional similarity to bioapatite. However, the traditional fabrication techniques still limit utilization HA bone, cartilage, dental, applications, other fields. In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) printing has shown provide a fast, precise, controllable, scalable approach for synthesis scaffolds. This review therefore explores available 3D...

Abstract This study aims to assess kinetic modelling of the solid–liquid extraction process total polyphenolic compounds (TPC) from apple pomace (AP). In this regard, we investigated effects temperature and solvent (i.e. water, ethanol, acetone) on TPC over various periods. The highest yield 11.1 ± 0.49 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g db (dry basis) was achieved with a mixture 65% acetone–35% water (v/v) at 60 °C. kinetics solvent-based processes were assessed via first-order second-order...
