Here, the possibility of using biomass wastes such as palm seed as a suitable precursor for the preparation of magnetically responsive adsorbent was explored. Magnetic biochars (MB) were prepared from raw palm seed in ...

The genus Pistacia L. is a member of the family Anacardiaceae and consists of 10 accepted species. According to monograph of Zohary published on 1952, the genus is divided into 4 sections and 11 species included. In ...

Chemically activated carbon K-AC was fabricated from a by-product of olive oil production (olive stones) after chemical treatment with KOH. The as-synthesized activated carbon was then used for; (1) adsorption of an azo ...

The potential of dried (CC) and anionic surfactant modified (MCC) prickly pear cactus cladodes as an ecofriendly and low cost material for safranin removal from simulated wastewater was evaluated. Effect of several operational ...

Here, a simple yet efficient and economic strategy was demonstrated for the production of multiporous boric acid-doped sucrose carbon (Bx–pC) for supercapacitor application. The electrochemical performance was established ...

In this thesis, the possibility of grafting poly N-Vinylimidazole (PNVI) onto pullulan was investigated under homogenous and heterogenous conditions using potassium persulphate (KPS) and cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) ...

ABSTRACT: Chitosan citrate, chitosan citrate/glycerol and chitosan citrate/poly(ethylene glycol) blend membranes were prepared by the solvent casting method. Citrate ion was used as the ionic crosslinker. Glycerol and PEG ...

An adsorbent (Co(II)-imprinted polymer beads) was prepared using PVA/SA. The adsorbent was used to remove cationic dye (crystal violet) efficiently. Batch adsorption studies were performed in respect to variation in ...

Synthetic and natural polymers are suitable metal ion adsorbents for various purposes like wastewater or drinking water treatment, biomedical applications, and industrial applications like production of some household ...

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer that is used widely around the world. In this thesis, MSG was extracted from samples of cooked foods purchased from four different cafeterias in EMU; and from packaged ...
