The circular economy is a paradigm for the upcoming industrial era, in which plastic wastes must be focused on as new resources. Chemical valorisation permits deepening into waste-to-gate schemes by obtaining chemical platforms to reintroduced production market. In this context, potential of protic ionic liquid 2-hydroxyethyl ammonium acetate (2-HEAA) used homogeneous catalytic co-solvent glycolytic conversion post-consumer poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was validated from different...

Fibrous by-products, including defective or double cocoons, are obtained during silk processing. These cocoons primarily contain fibroin and sericin (SS) proteins along with minor amounts of wax mineral salts. In conventional textile processes, SS is removed in the production smooth, lustrous threads, typically discarded. However, has garnered attention for its antioxidant, antibacterial, biocompatible, anticancer properties as well excellent moisture absorption, making it a promising...

Following the successful utilization of various 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquids (ILs) as effective solvents in extraction ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol from water, we conducted experiments to determine liquid–liquid equilibria data for ternary mixture comprising 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium ([dmim][Tf2N]) at temperatures 283.2 K, 303.2 323.2 K under atmospheric pressure. The thermodynamic parameters both mixtures were calculated using...

This study explores the influence of various additives on morphological, chemical, and thermal properties poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes prepared via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) technique. The use a green solvent such as triethyl phosphate (TEP) was shown to be successful. A particular focus dedicated pore formers based choline chloride–based deep eutectic solvents (DES) in combination with ethylene glycol glycerol, i.e., ChCl/EG ChCl/GLY, its benchmark...

The polyphenols determined are: (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, rutin, quercetin and trans-resveratrol. Suitable conditions of supercritical fluid extraction were established using ethanol as a modifier the polarity solvent (supercritical carbon dioxide). Final were: 20% v/v ethanol, 60degreesC, 250 bars flow rate 2 mL/min. Static step time dynamic selected grape skin sample. extract was collected in water; more polar ((+)-catechin (-)-epicatechin) remain solution but trans-resveratrol...

Solubility data of solid 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid (gallic acid) in supercritical CO2 + ethanol as a cosolvent are reported this work. Measurements were carried out the temperature range (313.15 to 333.15) K, pressures ranging from (10 40) MPa, and different modifier content (0.7 6) %. The experimental correlated using Soave−Redlich−Kwong equation state group contribution associating state. thermodynamic modeling analysis includes also solubility representation an important class natural...

In this work authors present the experimental liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) data of water + ethanol 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([bmim][Tf2N]) system at different temperatures. The LLE was obtained in temperature range from 283.2 to 323.2 K. nonrandom two liquid (NRTL) and universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) models were used correlate ternary systems. equilibrium compositions successfully correlated by interaction parameters both models, however UNIQUAC gave...

Silk sericin (SS)–based hydrogels show promise for wound healing due to their biocompatibility, moisture regulation, and cell proliferation properties. However, there is still a need develop green crosslinking methods obtain non-toxic, absorbent, mechanically strong SS hydrogels. This study investigated the effects of three methods, annealing treatment (T), exposure an absolute ethanol vapor atmosphere (V.E), water (V.A), on physicochemical mechanical properties poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)...
