Eggshell‐Based Biochar for Superior Adsorption of Crystal Violet Dye and Fluoride From Wastewater

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Present study investigates the efficiency of eggshell biochar as a low‐cost and ecofriendly adsorbent for the simultaneous removal of fluoride ions and crystal violet (CV) dye from wastewater. The eggshell waste was pyrolyzed to produce biochar, which was thoroughly characterized and subsequently employed for contaminant adsorption.

Adsorption Desulfurization of Liquid Fuel Using a Blend of Date Stones and Walnut Shells by Box–Behnken Design

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A specific microporous KOH/activated‐biochar (K/BC) was produced from a blend of date stones (DS) and walnut shells (WS) and used in the adsorptive desulfurization (ADS) of two types of model fuel DBT/n‐hexane (S‐hex), DBT/cyclohexane (S‐cyclohex).

Removal of Methylene Blue and Congo Red Dyes Using Sustainable and Eco‐Friendly Bioadsorbents: A Review

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The continuous increasing discharge of synthetic dyes into aquatic systems seems to be an important environmental and health risk due to their high toxicity and resistance to biodegradation. Among these dyes, methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) are widely used in textile and industrial applications, necessitating sustainable and efficient ...

Technical Efficiency and Cost Implications of No‐Cook Versus Traditional Alcohol Production Technologies at Household Scale

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Vietnam, traditional distilled rice alcohol is often produced at the household scale with limited sanitary conditions, leading to low yield, unstable, and moderate‐quality alcohol products. No‐cook or Simultaneous liquefaction, saccharification, and fermentation (SLSF) technology has shown to be very promising thanks to its advantages such ...

Energy-dependent quenching adjusts the excitation diffusion length to regulate photosynthetic light harvesting

, 2018
An important determinant of crop yields is the regulation of photosystem II (PSII) light harvesting by energy-dependent quenching (qE). However, the molecular details of excitation quenching have not been quantitatively connected to the PSII yield, which

Adsorption Characteristics and Mechanisms of Dibutyl Phthalate on Nanomaterials

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a widely used plasticizer whose environmental release poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health. This study systematically investigated DBP adsorption on three common nanomaterials—titanium dioxide nanoparticles (n‐TiO2), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and carboxylated MWCNTs (MWCNTs‐COOH)—using ...

Converting Durian Husk Into Adsorbent Beads for Methylene Blue Adsorption: Synthesis, Kinetics, Isotherms, and Reusability

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution from textile dyeing wastewater, particularly the discharge of harmful dyes like methylene blue (MB), poses a significant challenge. This study presents an innovative solution for dyeing wastewater treatment by utilizing durian husk, an agricultural waste, as an adsorbent for MB removal.

The QE experience: Worth a try? [PDF]

, 2015
The ECB has decided to implement large-scale quantitative easing (QE) measures since March 2015 until September 2016. This unconventional monetary policy has had a variety of precedents, in the Japanese, UK and US economies. These experiments have been effective at modifying government and corporate bond yields, mostly in the UK and US and to a lesser ...
