Chitosan-derived hydrothermally carbonized materials and its applications: A review of recent literature
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article Review)
Chitosan (CS) is a linear polysaccharide biopolymer, one of the most abundant biowastes in the environment. This makes chitosan a potential material for a wide range of applications. To improve CS's properties, chitosan ...
Catalytic methane decomposition to carbon nanostructures and cox-free hydrogen: A mini-review
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article Review)
Catalytic methane decomposition (CMD) is a highly promising approach for the rational production of relatively COx-free hydrogen and carbon nanostructures, which are both important in multidisciplinary catalytic applications, ...
Poly (amido amine) dendrimer based membranes for wastewater treatment - A critical review
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Membrane based wastewater treatment technologies in which polymeric membranes are most commonly used have been extensively applied in water/wastewater treatment to help address the issue of water shortage through ...
The prospect of synthesis of PES/PEG blend membranes using blend NMP/DMF for CO2/N2 separation
(
Springer Science and Business Media B.V.
, 2021 , Article Review)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have been the root cause for anthropogenic climate change. Decarbonisation strategies, particularly carbon capture and storage (CCS) are crucial for mitigating the risk of global warming. ...
Understanding the progress and challenges in the fields of thermo-catalysis and electro-catalysis for the CO2 conversion to fuels
(
Institute for Ionics
, 2024 , Article Review)
The need to limit anthropogenic CO2 emissions and lower the atmospheric CO2 concentration makes CO2 conversion an imminent requirement. Availability of suitable facilities and prior understanding how electro and thermal ...
A prospective concept on the fabrication of blend pes/peg/dmf/nmp mixed matrix membranes with functionalised carbon nanotubes for co2/n2 separation
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article Review)
With an ever-increasing global population, the combustion of fossil fuels has risen immensely to meet the demand for electricity, resulting in significant increase in carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions. In recent years, CO2 ...
Nanoparticle-based materials in anticancer drug delivery: Current and future prospects
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
The past decade has witnessed a breakthrough in novel strategies to treat cancer. One of the most common cancer treatment modalities is chemotherapy which involves administering anti-cancer drugs to the body. However, these ...
Pilot-scale co-processing of lignocellulosic biomass, algae, shellfish waste via thermochemical approach: Recent progress and future directions
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article Review)
Thermal co-processing of lignocellulosic and aquatic biomass, such as algae and shellfish waste, has shown synergistic effects in producing value-added energy products with higher process efficiency than the traditional ...
A review on recent trends in reactor systems and azeotrope separation strategies for catalytic conversion of biodiesel-derived glycerol
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article Review)
The increasing demand for biodiesel (BD) as a renewable and sustainable energy source has impelled the generation of abundant and low-cost byproduct glycerol, which accounts for 10 wt% of total BD production and requires ...
Review of Iron Sulfide Scale Removal and Inhibition in Oil and Gas Wells: Current Status and Perspectives
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article Review)
Iron sulfide scale is one of the main types of inorganic scales that block oil and gas wells. Iron sulfide has polymorph crystallinity structures, which complicate its dissolving and inhibition. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is ...
