This study presents the composition analysis of essential oils extracted from celery seeds (Apium graveolens) collected Morocco. The oil, termed AG-EO, was obtained through microwave-assisted hydro-distillation, and its characterized using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Antimicrobial properties were assessed utilizing disc diffusion microdilution assay methods, while antioxidant activities evaluated spectrophotometric techniques. Additionally, in vivo anti-inflammatory effects...
Phosphogypsum (PG) is the largest by-product of phosphate industry. Nearly 300 M tons PG are annually discarded, which 58% dry stacked. The exposure stacks to rainwater and processed waters moisture creates hydraulic pressure, generating acidic leachates into nearby aquifer systems. Because its elevated levels sulfates, phosphorus (P) heavy metals, water leachate can negatively affect surrounding environments. This work investigates effect activity on leaching, by studying different PG:Water...
Dye effluents are among the most polluted wastewaters that require adequate treatment before their discharge into environment. They have multiple chemical properties allow them great resistance to environmental conditions, such as persistence of coloured fabric against washing, exposure light, chemicals, and biological attacks. However, these same particularities make hardly degradable, thereby complicating disposal using traditional methods. The use biosorption for removal dye from...
This study highlights the mechanisms of Pb(II)-phycoremediation using Pb(II) tolerant strain Scenedesmus obliquus. First, monitoring cell growth kinetics in control and Pb(II)-doped medium revealed significant inhibition, while analyses through flow cytometry Zetasizer no difference viability size. Residual weights Pb(II)-loaded cells assessed by thermogravimetric analysis were 31.34% 57.8%, respectively, indicating uptake into S. obliquus cells. Next, use chemical extraction to distinguish...
Biological sulfide oxidation is an efficient means to recover elemental sulfur (S0) as a valuable resource from sulfide-bearing wastewater. This work evaluated the autotrophic S0 in O2-based membrane biofilm reactor (O2-MBfR). High recovery of (80–90% influent S) and high (∼100%) were simultaneously achieved when ratio O2-delivery capacity sulfide-to surface loading (SL) (O2/S2– → ratio) was around 1.5 (g O2/m2-day/g O2/m2-day). On average, most produced recovered MBfR effluent, although...
Abstract This study investigated the dye decolorization capacity of three yeast strains. Cyberlindnera fabianii was shortlisted for its high and further tested on various azo dyes. Based color biomass, UV–Vis analysis, Acid Red 14 selected as a model dye, to examine enzymatic biodegradation. The results showed significant increase in intracellular extracellular activities laccase, tyrosinase, manganese peroxidase, azoreductase. Phytotoxicity assessment indicated that AR14 biodegradation...
Phytotherapy, which involves the use of plant extracts and natural compounds for medicinal purposes, is indeed a promising alternative managing urinary lithiasis. Many plants have been studied their potential to prevent treat kidney stones, they may offer more potentially less harmful approach compared conventional treatments. Additionally, phytotherapy be cost-effective. The aim present study was investigate antilithic essential oils
Abstract Biosorption processes have recently become an economic and eco-friendly solution for the treatment of industrial wastewater. This study aimed to evaluate potential application Wickerhamomyces anomalus as a natural biosorbent removal toxic synthetic dye Acid Red 14 (AR14). kinetics modelling showed that pseudo-second-order intraparticle diffusion models were more suitable fit experimental data. In addition, Langmuir model was most appropriate isotherm explain AR14- W. biosorption...
