Zeolite Na-A supported ZnO nanocomposites (ZnO/Zeolite Na-A NCs) were synthesized at low temperature (70 °C) via the sol-gel process and characterized for thermal, structural, morphological, adsorption, optical and bonding ...

The present study investigates the use of SO42-/TiO2 Nb2O5 (STNO) catalyst prepared through the modified sol-gel method in the process of xylose dehydration to furfural. The reaction was carried out in a biphasic solvent ...

Composite electrode materials for removing paraquat from contaminated water were synthesized by loading aluminium oxide (Al2O3) onto activated carbon (AC) via co-precipitation method. The composite properties were investigated ...

Vehicular SOx emissions have a huge detrimental impact on public health, catalytic converters, and the environment. Developing strategies to remove sulfur from diesel and thus safeguard the above is imperative. A series ...

Green synthesis of nanostructures is an alternative method to physical and conventional chemical methods, which is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. This study focuses on the synthesis of nanostructured multilayer ...

Soil health is the sustained ability of soil to function as a vital ecosystem that supports plants, animals, and humans. Conventional agricultural practices, such as intensive tillage and monocropping, degrade soils by ...

New extraction techniques are being developed in response to the growing interest in bioactive compounds found in nature. The goal of these novel procedures is to extract these chemicals from a range of biomasses and natural ...

Mimosa Wattle tree bark (MWTB) is a rich source of bioactive compounds known for their corrosion inhibition, medicinal properties, and use in leather tanning. The current study focuses on optimization of process parameters ...

Acacia mearnsii is an underutilized yet rich reservoir of bioactive phytochemicals with demonstrated corrosion inhibition efficacy, therapeutic potential, and extensive industrial applications. Its valorisation represents ...

Climate-induced migration is an increasingly pressing issue in many African regions, as rising temperatures and extreme weather events have caused the displacement of vulnerable populations. This is especially so in Eastern ...
