Here we report the preparation of micrometer-sized highly nanoporous, relatively trasperant silica aerogel beads with high surface area as well as large pore volume with sizes ranging from 165 to 395 μm. The wet micrometer-sized ...

This study reports on the quantitative recovery of high purity nanoporous silica from wastes material (H2SiF6) of the phosphate fertilizer industry and Na2O·SiO2. The silica recovered from the wastes was compared with ...

In this article we report synthesis of mesoporous silica with superior properties for application in green tire (environmentally friendly tire) as filler. The synthesis was done using a newly innovated apparatus which ...

Banana leaves wastes (BL) were subjected to fungal treatment using Pleurotus ostreatus to produce edible mushrooms and biogas in the anaerobic digestion process. Effects of fungal treatment on mushrooms production, lignin ...

Leather making commonly use chromium salts to produce high quality products. However, the use of chromium salts is compromised by environmental safety concerns. Combination tanning using vegetable tanning coupled with ...

A sulfated titania–silica composite (S-TSC) was obtained through surface modification of mesoporous titania–silica composite synthesized using less expensive precursors; titanium oxychloride and sodium silicate as titania ...

In the present study, a chitosan (CS)-coated liposome (LipCsP-Chitosan) nanocarrier was fabricated for the delivery of Carissa spinarum (CsP) polyphenols to improve bioavailability and anti-pneumococcal potential against ...

Clay ceramic water filters impregnated with silver colloids have been used to purify water in many parts of East Africa disregarding the removal of fluoride, which is a health-threatening ion in water supplies. This paper ...

Inorganic nanocarriers for a decade have increased interest in nanotechnology research platform as versatile drug delivery materials. The utility of the inorganic nanocarriers for delivery of therapeutic agents is attributed ...

The challenges associated with photocatalysts including their agglomeration, electron–hole recombination and limited optoelectronic reactivity to visible light during the photocatalysis of dye-laden effluent make it necessary ...
