Towards the utilization of different parts date palm biomass waste, low-concentration acid-alkali treatment was used to isolate contained cellulose and α-cellulose. The yields achieved from rachis, leaflet, fiber were 74.70%, 71.50%, 73.82%, respectively, while corresponding α-cellulose 78.63%, 75.64%, 70.40%, respectively. samples bleached characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction...
This study presents the isolation, characterization, and kinetic analyses of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from date palm waste in United Arab Emirates. After bleaching stem with acidified NaClO2 delignification via NaOH treatments, was extracted. Mineral acid hydrolysis (62 wt % H2SO4) performed at 45 °C for min to produce crystalline nanocellulose. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) chemical composition analysis confirmed removal noncellulosic constituents. The crystallinity index increased...
In this study, silica in the form of raw local natural sand was added to high-density-polyethylene (HDPE) order develop a composite material sheets that could have potential applications thin film industries, such as packaging, or recycling 3D printing. The silica/HDPE were developed using melt extruder followed by hot press for compression molding. impact two different particle sizes (25 µm and 5 µm) particles on selected properties toughness, elastic modulus, ductility, density analyzed. A...
Various beneficial properties has been attributed to Nigella sativa, including its antioxidant potential. Previously, it was reported that supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) could be used obtain N. sativa extract rich in antioxidants. In the present study, extracts prepared using previously optimized SFE as well traditional Soxhlet approaches were analyzed for various known found prevent protein carbonyl formation depletion of intracellular glutathione (GSH) fibroblasts exposed toluene....
Due to the significant properties of silica, thermostatics can be enhanced using silica-additives maximize quality polymer compounds and transform plastics into tailored properties. The silica additives enhance handling performance composites thermoplastic polymers due their diverse potential. Besides, as an additive in different characteristics allow granulates powders flow easily, minimize caking, control rheology. On other hand, eruption 3D printing technology has led a massive new waste...
Synthetic bone graft substitutes have attracted increasing attention in tissue engineering. This study aimed to fabricate a novel, bioactive, porous scaffold that can be used as substitute. Strontium and zinc doped nano-hydroxyapatite (Sr/Zn n-HAp) were synthesized by water-based sol-gel technique. Sr/Zn n-HAp poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) composite scaffolds supercritical carbon dioxide FTIR, XRD, TEM, SEM, TGA characterize the scaffolds. The adequately with an average pore size range...
Antennas play a critical role in modern technology. They are used various devices and applications, including wireless communication, broadcasting, navigation, military, space. Overall, the importance of antennas technology lies their ability to transmit receive signals, allowing communication information transfer across applications devices. Three-dimensional printing creates using multiple materials, plastics, metals, ceramics. Some standard 3D techniques create include Fused Deposition...
In a previous work, the overall performance of modified Solvay process was investigated in absence ammonia, where carbon dioxide and brine treatments were accomplished single reaction presence calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). this study, impact alkaline amphoteric oxides, namely potassium (KOH) aluminum oxide (Al2O3), on pH level, CO2 capture capacity, ions reduction, type produced solids at temperature 20°C gas flow rate 1 L/min. At stoichiometric ratio less than solubility limit, KOH/brine...
The study aimed to produce natural additive-free powder from date fruits (Phoenix dactylifera L.). Dehydration of two fruit varieties, i.e., Sukkari (semi-dry) and Barakawi (dry) was perforned at 65, 70 75 °C up 72 h using a cabinet dryer. A temperature found optimum for drying both varieties by considering rate, total phenolic content, hydroxymethylfurfural content. better than the counterpart on comparing water activity clumping, mainly due low initial moisture content corresponding fruit....
