Comparative Investigation of the Physicochemical Properties of Chars Produced by Hydrothermal Carbonization, Pyrolysis, and Microwave-Induced Pyrolysis of Food Waste
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)This work presents a comparative study of the physicochemical properties of chars derived by three thermochemical pathways, namely: hydrothermal carbonization, HTC (at 180, 200 and 220 °C), pyrolysis, PY, (at 500, 600 and ... -
Design, synthesis and applications of core-shell, hollow core, and nanorattle multifunctional nanostructures
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article Review)With the evolution of nanoscience and nanotechnology, studies have been focused on manipulating nanoparticle properties through the control of their size, composition, and morphology. As nanomaterial research has progressed, ... -
Drug-clay nanohybrids as sustained delivery systems
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)Biocompatible 2-dimensional layered compounds such as clays and layered double hydroxides (anionic clays) have been explored and utilized in drug delivery system for therapeutic application because they can safely encapsulate ... -
Hydrophobic guest mediated micellization and demicellization of rationally designed amphiphilic poly(organophosphazene) for efficient drug delivery
( American Scientific Publishers , 2016 , Article)Recently, biocompatible and amphiphilic poly(organophosphazene) (PPZ) has been suggested as a drug delivery carrier since it can be easily modified to achieve desired chemical properties. In this work, we newly designed a ... -
Hydrothermal Conversion of Food Waste to Carbonaceous Solid Fuel—A Review of Recent Developments
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2022 , Article)This review critically discussed recent developments in hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of food waste and its valorization to solid fuel. Food waste properties and fundamentals of the HTC reactor were also covered. The ... -
Physicochemical properties and combustion kinetics of food waste derived hydrochars
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)In this work, simulated food waste (15% white bread, 15% palm dates (without seeds), 5% boiled egg (without shells), 20% spent tea leaves, 20% spent coffee ground, and 25% banana peel in parts weight) was subjected to ... -
Physicochemical, structural and combustion analyses to estimate the solid fuel efficacy of hydrochar developed by co-hydrothermal carbonization of food and municipal wastes
( Springer Nature , 2022 , Article)The application of a char derived from fruit peel waste and other municipal wastes as solid fuel depends on its physico-chemical properties. In this work, fruit peel waste (FW) along their mixture with facial tissue waste ...
