The experimental results of aging time and temperature on the textural properties of water-glass (sodium silicate)-based silica aerogels are reported and discussed. Aging of the hydrogel for different times and temperatures led ...

The effects of mixing sequence of starch–chitosan nanocomposite films on antimicrobial properties of vanillin, the release kinetics of vanillin, and physicomechanical changes of films have been reported. Four types of films ...

Recently, there are increased efforts by municipals and researchers to investigate the potential of utilizing municipal solid wastes (MSW) for resources recovery. In many parts of developing countries, MSW is mostly collected ...

The use of chromium salt has dominated in tanning industry worldwide due to its high versatility in quality leather production. However, Environmental concerns of chromium have shifted the interest of current research to ...

The performance of experimental batch-reactor loaded with slaughterhouse waste at mesophilic temperature was investigated as well as the inhibition of both ammonia and sulfide concentration in the aqueous phase. The digester ...

Chrome tanning remains the most favourite technology in the leather industry worldwide due to its ability to produce leather with attributes desirable for high-quality leather such as excellent hydrothermal stability, ...

The digestion process of organic waste rich in high ammonia content has always been a gridlock during methanogenesis process. The free ammonia may increase inhibition/toxicity, which in turn affects the microbial community ...

Cobalt oxide/titanium dioxide/activated carbon (Co3O4/TiO2/Ac) composite was synthesized using simple sol-gel method before annealing at 300 °C. Fish bladder derived porous carbon used for the composite was synthesized by ...

Owing to the high demand for fertilizer formulations that will exhaust the possibilities of nutrient use efficiency (NUE), regulate fertilizer consumption, and lessen agrophysicochemical properties and environmental adverse ...

Urea controlled release fertilizer (CRF) was prepared via kaolinite intercalation followed by gum arabic encapsulation in an attempt to reduce its severe losses associated with dissolution, hydrolysis, and diffusion. ...
