Combination of air stripping and biological processes for landfill leachate treatment
(
Korean Society of Environmental Engineers
, 2020 , Article)
Landfill waste decomposition generates a dark effluent named, leachate which is characterized by high organic matter content. To minimize these polluting effects, it becomes necessary to develop an effective landfill ...
Fabrication and characterization of flexible ruthenium oxide-loaded polyaniline/poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Polyaniline/poly(vinyl alcohol)/ruthenium oxide (RuO2) composite nanofibers were produced by electrospinning technique. Hydrous ruthenium chloride was used as a precursor at different ...
Pyrolysis Process as a Sustainable Management Option of Poultry Manure: Characterization of the Derived Biochars and Assessment of their Nutrient Release Capacities
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Raw poultry manure (RPM) and its derived biochars at temperatures of 400 (B400) and 600 ◦C (B600) were physico-chemically characterized, and their ability to release nutrients was assessed under static conditions. The ...
Pt-doped armchair graphene nanoribbon as a promising gas sensor for CO and CO2: DFT study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, four armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) based sensor materials were built using Atomistic ToolKit Virtual NanoLab (ATK-VNL) and utilized to detect carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) gases. First, ...
Fabrication of H2S gas sensors using ZnxCu1-xFe2O4 nanoparticles
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Spinel ferrite nanoparticles can be easily retrieved and utilized for multiple cycles due to their magnetic properties. In this work, nanoparticles of a ZnxCu1-xFe2O4 composition were synthesized by employing a sol–gel ...
Multicriteria Decision-Making Methodology for Credit Selection in Building Sustainability Rating Systems
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
Uncertainty is an inherent characteristic of decision making related to sustainable construction projects. The main reason for this uncertainty is the incomplete information available to stakeholders on the relative impact ...
Hepatoprotective Effect of Oleuropein-Rich Extract from Olive Leaves against Cadmium-Induced Toxicity in Mice
(
Hindawi
, 2020 , Article)
Cadmium (Cd) is a harmful pollutant which mainly affects the liver and kidney. In this work, we investigated the hepatoprotective effects of olive leaf extract based on oleuropein against hepatic cadmium toxicity in mice. ...
Optimization of lycopene extraction from tomato peels industrial by-product using maceration in refined olive oil
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2019 , Article)
Lycopene, a nutraceutical compound, was extracted from a Tunisian industrial tomato peels by-product using maceration in refined olive oil (ROO). To do, a Box–Behnken design was applied to maximize the lycopene recovery ...
Optimization of iron dosage for microalgal biomass production as a feedstock for biofuel
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Summary: Biomass and metabolite production of three marine (Tetraselmis sp., Nannochloropsis sp., Chlorocystis sp.) and three freshwater microalgae (Scenedesmus sp., Chlorella sp., Monoraphidium sp.) were studied under ...
Delineating and preventing plastic waste leakage in the marine and terrestrial environment
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Plastics are nowadays considered to be the workhorse material of our modern society with an ubiquitous presence that has increased manifold over the past 60 years, providing several benefits to the global economy. However, ...
