In the present study, a novel and economical adsorbent was synthesized from a coal fly ash–chitosan composite to remove Pb2+ and Cr6+ from aqueous solutions. The characterization of the adsorbent under optimal conditions ...

This study presented a novel and cost-effective adsorbent developed from phosphoric acid-modified biochar–chitosan nanocomposite for the efficient removal of Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ from wastewater. The biochar was synthesized ...

Noble metals are frequently used in the quest for a practical and efficient way to address the world's energy needs. Unfortunately, the high cost and limited availability of noble metal electrocatalysts have prevented the ...

Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing process industries by transforming vast data sets into actionable insights, improving efficiency, reducing downtime, and ensuring consistent product quality while meeting environmental ...

Cow urine is widely utilized for medicinal and agricultural purposes in rural areas of India, with urine from indigenous cow breeds (Bos indicus) believed to offer unique benefits compared to that of exotic (Bos taurus) ...

Designing heterojunctions that enable efficient charge separation without compromising redox potential is key to advancing visible-light-active photocatalysts for water treatment via advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). ...

This study presents a comprehensive investigation of conjugated donor–acceptor (D–A) copolymers based on naphthalenediimide (NDI) and two structural isomers of naphthodithiophene (NDT), i.e., linear (L-NDT) and angular ...

Cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) plays a key role in the metabolic activation of carcinogens, making its inhibition a promising chemopreventive strategy. In this study, three pyrene-1-carboxaldehyde-derived Schiff bases, PEBD, ...

Hydrogen spillover, a mechanism involving the disassociation of molecular hydrogen on a metal catalyst and subsequent diffusion of atomic hydrogen to a support material, provides an effective approach for enhancing hydrogen ...

Efficient separation of CO2 from industrial gas mixtures such as CO2/N2, CO2/CH4, CO2/H2, and CH4/H2 is central to carbon capture, clean fuel production, and hydrogen purification. While metal organic frameworks (MOFs) ...
