Studying chromium biosorption using arabica coffee leaves

Ingeniería e Investigación, 2009
This work was aimed at providing an alternative for removing heavy metals such as chromium from waste water (effluent) from the leather industry and galvanoplasty (coating with a thin layer of metal by electrochemical means), using coffee leaves as biomass. Using arabica coffee (Castle variety) leaves led to 82% chromium removal efficiency for 1,000 mg/

Sex‐Specific Regulation of Glycemic Homeostasis by Theabrownin from Pu‐erh Tea

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pu‐erh tea's key component, theabrownin (TB), lowers blood glucose in a sex‐specific manner. In females, estrogen boosts intestinal MUC2 production, which dramatically enhances TB's ability to inhibit the carbohydrate‐digesting enzyme α‐glucosidase.

Reading the tea leaves in an intelligent Coffee Corner: Challenges for understanding behavior [PDF]

Behavior Research Methods, 2009
This article discusses the challenges for methodological innovation on the basis of experiences in an experimental Living Lab setting: a context-aware Coffee Corner in a research institute. A context-aware infrastructure collects sensory information on users while they move and interact.

Paternal Caffeine Exposure Programs Offspring Stress Vulnerability via Sperm Dlk1‐Dio3 Imprinting‐Directed Remodeling of a Novel Neural Circuit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study elucidates that paternal preconception stress can drive offspring hyperresponsivity of the stress system via hypomethylation of a specific DNA region in sperm. This key link is confirmed in a cohort of prospective fathers: the epigenetic alteration is associated with elevated stress hormone levels.

Heterojunction‐Engineered Mass Spectrometry Platform for Deciphering Serum Metabolic Fingerprints in Diagnosis of Respiratory Diseases

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hollow Co3O4/TiO2 heterojunctions are engineered for high‐throughput laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. The built‐in electric field drives efficient charge separation and photothermal conversion, while the hierarchical mesoporous network enables robust salt and protein tolerance.

Mechanisms of Phenol Adsorption on Banana Leaves and Coffee Husk Biochars

ACS Omega
In this study, biochars were produced from banana leaves (BB) and coffee husk (BC) for phenol adsorption. The biochars were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, textural analysis, point of zero charge measurement, and determination of surface acidic and basic groups. For both

Adsorption of mercury on used tea leaves and coffee beans

BUNSEKI KAGAKU, 2003
The adsorption of mercury(II) from aqueous solutions on green tea leaves, coffee beans and activated carbons has been studied comparatively. The adsorption capacity of those adsorbents was little affected by pH and EDTA. The coffee beans and the activated carbons adsorption capacity were highly affected by chloride ion, whilst the green tea leaves were
