Frontiers in Plant Science
, 2022 , Article)
In vitro plant cell and tissue cultures are potent tools to propagating germplasm resources in conserving and managing plant genetic resources. A reliable micropropagation protocol was developed for efficient callus ...
Eco-friendly green synthesis of silver nanoparticles utilizing olive oil waste by-product and their incorporation into a chitosan-aloe vera gel composite for enhanced wound healing in acid burn injuries
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Other)
This study focused on the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using olive oil waste by-product and their incorporation into Chitosan-Aloe-Vera gel (AgNPs/AV-CS gel). The synthesized AgNPs exhibited a hydrodynamic ...
Insights into the degradation mechanism of PET and PP under marine conditions using FTIR
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Plastics possess diverse functional properties that have made them extremely desirable. However, due to poor waste management practices, large quantities eventually end up in the oceans where their degradation begins. ...
Process optimization and method validation for efficient valorization of low- grade coal into humic substances
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
The exploration of low-grade coal resources and progress in the extraction method of humic substances are the core aims of this study. Ultrasonic and microwave assisted alkali extractions were compared with conventional ...
Effect of temperature and sunlight on the leachability potential of BPA and phthalates from plastic litter under marine conditions
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigates the leaching potential of several additives embedded in six different plastic types when exposed to extreme simulated marine conditions for 140 days. The findings achieved herein contribute to a ...
Investigation on the effect of several parameters involved in the biodegradation of polyethylene (PE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) under various seawater environments
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
This work investigates the biodegradation of polyethylene (PE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and the leaching of their harmful additives. Micro/macro-plastics of both types were subjected to different laboratory-controlled ...
Selection of Bacillus spp. with decontamination potential on multiple Fusarium mycotoxins
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Along with Aspergillus and Penicillium spp., mycotoxins produced by Fusarium species are important contaminants in food and feed industry. This study was designed to investigate the biodegradation potential of a collection ...
Concentrations of essential and toxic elements and health risk assessment in brown rice from Qatari market
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Twenty-two brown rice varieties available in the Qatari market were analyzed for essential and toxic elements by ICP-MS. Found concentrations (µg/kg) were: As: 171 ± 78 (62–343), Cd: 42 ± 60 (4–253), Cr: 515 ± 69 (401–639), ...
Insights into the generation of hydroxyl radicals from H2O2 decomposition by the combination of Fe2+ and chloranilic acid
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, the degradation of chloranilic acid (CAA) by chemical oxidation with H2O2 alone and in the presence of ferrous iron Fe2+ catalyst was investigated in order to improve our understanding on the novel metal-independent ...
