Pyrolysis is a promising technology for converting biomass waste into bio-oil, a liquid product that can serve as feedstock for fuels and high-value chemicals. In this study, bio-oil was produced via catalytic pyrolysis of pear pulp waste, a byproduct from juice and jam manufacturing, using a fixed-bed reactor. Initial non-catalytic experiments were conducted under nitrogen and vacuum atmospheres at temperatures ranging from 300 to 450°C for 15 minutes to evaluate the effect of temperature on bio-oil yield. The res [...]

Terminalia species is a widely available plant that can be used to synthesise silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and harness their catalytic capacity. This experimental design will explore the potential of Terminalia AgNPs in contributing to the degradation process of toxic chemicals generated by industries such as textiles, food, and pharmaceuticals. This research uses four leaf varieties of Terminalia species—T. arjuna, T. bellirica, T. chebula, and T. catappa—to synthesize AgNPs, evaluate their optimal synthesis condi [...]

The electrochemical water oxidation application of CuO@Fe2O3 materials as potential catalysts is being reported for the first time. A series of CuO@Fe2O3 with different molar ratios of CuO (5, 7, 10, 12, and 15%) was fabricated through precipitation followed by the impregnation method. Structural and electrochemical studies were carried out by using different analytical platforms, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive [...]

Lignocelluloses are complex plant polysaccharides made of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose, and products made from these components find immense market potential. They can be effectively valorized to products related to bioenergy, bioplastics, food and nutrition, medication delivery systems, and other elements. Significant sources of lignocellulosic biomass include sugarcane bagasse, corn cob, rice straw, potato haulms, cocoa pods, etc. Enzyme-based valorization processes find immense potential, as they are eco [...]

Being critical to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, strengthening understanding of the properties and processes of soil at national and regional scales is imperative. The target of this research is removing transition metals of Cr, Mn, Fe, Zn, W, Cd from soil due to nanomaterial-based boron nitride nanocage (B5N10-nc). The electromagnetic and thermodynamic attributes of toxic transition metals trapped in B5N10-nc were depicted by materials modeling. It has been studied the behavi [...]
