An Exploratory Study on Graphene‐Based Hybrid Epoxy Coatings for Corrosion Resistance and Self‐Healing

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Corrosion of metallic process equipment in chemical, marine, and offshore industries leads to significant maintenance costs and safety concerns. Conventional epoxy coatings, though widely applied, often deteriorate under harsh conditions due to microcracking, moisture ingress and lack of self‐healing capability.

Waste activated sludge high‐rate treatment of septage: Biodegradability studies and contact phase trials towards a cleaner environment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process, developed in our previous study, is used for septic wastewater treatment. This high‐rate contact stabilization pre‐treatment uses typical waste streams found in wastewater treatment plants to reduce a portion of the loadings on the main treatment trains.

Beeswax: Food and beyond

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.
