Currently, many scholars are looking for renewable biomass sources the isolation of nanomaterials that have a sustainable property and ecofriendly. Thus, effectively synthesize characterization enset fiber nanocellulose using acid hydrolysis with sonication is focus study. Additionally, process optimization (CNCs) from raw RSM-CCD characterizations obtained CNCs was explored. The quadratic model selected, optimized values yield (77.69%) were acquired to be H2SO4: 51.6 wt. %, reaction...
Eragrostis tef (Teff) is one of the most important staple crops in Ethiopia. The straw obtained from teff a plentiful source lignocellulosic biomass. In present study, grass was exploited as carbon precursor to synthesise activated via chemical activation followed by microwave-aided pyrolysis. prepared microwave aided method (MATSAC) utilised bio-adsorbent examine lead II ions adsorption potential aqueous medium. RSM technique employed explore process model which correlates four independent...
Abstract Purifying water for diverse uses is vital, but concerns lie with the sustainability and accessibility of purification materials. As such, this study converted readily available treatment plant sludge (WTPS) into activated adsorbent phosphate removal in wastewater. WTPS was via thermal activation at 300 °C temperature chemical processes 3 M acid concentration, 4 h time, 75 temperature, then characterized using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier...
