Industrial sludge activated carbon was produced from paper mill, tannery and textile sludge for effective removal of Congo red dye from aqueous solution. Phosphoric acid (45%) for paper mill sludge and sulfuric acid (45%) ...
Water hyacinth, an aquatic plant in Lake Tana, was used as a raw material for the
synthesis of activated carbon. It was prepared by chemical activation using phosphoric acid followed by carbonization at 4000C for two ...
Nowadays, replacing petroleum-based or non-biodegradable plastics with biodegradable
polymers made from starch and different reinforcing materials has recently gained attention.
Consequently, there is a quest to search ...
There is an increasing demand for biodegradable bioplastics, which can replace petroleum-based non-degradable plastics, which have a great impact on the environment. Starch-based biodegradable films are thermally unstable ...

Although Africa has high potential of water resources, access to drinking water is limited today.
Thus, ceramic membrane derived from kaolin has been successfully developed using combined
phase inversion and sintering ...
Copper oxide nanoparticles were deposited on a presynthesized graphene oxide (GO) by successive ionic
layer adsorption and reaction method to form CuO/rGO nanocomposite. The crystal structure, vibrational
frequency and ...
The adsorption treatment of wastewater by activated carbon is one of the most successful methods.
Biomass wastes present a great potential for adsorbent materials because of their availability and
carbonaceous nature. ...
This study focuses on the preparation and characterization K2O-CaO/γ-Al2O3, K2O doped
CaO which is supported with γ-Al2O3, and their catalytic activity in the transesterification
of waste cooking palm oil with methanol ...
In this study, iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe

) solution with Mango leaves extract.
The preparation ...
In this study, synthesis and characterization of oligomer [Co21(phen)42(bipy)42]Cl42 and polymer
[Co100(phen)200(bipy)200]Cl200 complexes of Cobalt(II) (phen=1,10-Phenanthroline, bipy=4-4'-
Bipyridine) was done. The ...
The ceramic tile industry is a dynamic sector whose technological innovation and market trends have drawn a complex picture of products and processes. This technological evolution has directly entailed with raw material ...
To overcome the alarming problem of microbial resistance to antibiotics, the discovery of metal complex drugs are found to be more effective than parent drugs to inhibit the microbial resistance to antibiotics.In this work, ...
The objective of this thesis was to chemically produce Multiferroic Bismuth Iron Oxide
(BiFeO3) (BFO) and cobalt doped Bismuth Iron Oxide (BFCO) nanoparticles for photovoltaic
applications. The syntheses in these ...
5-HydroxyMethylFurfural as a versatile organic compound is considered as a promising biomass-derived product via hydrolysis followed by dehydration of lignocellulosic biomass using solid catalysts. In this study, lignocellulosic ...
Soap is a cleaning agent that helps to remove dirt and grease from porous surfaces such as
fabrics, clothes, and/or non-porous surface such as metal plastics. Vegetable oils, either
edible or non-edible, are widely used ...
Nature is a self-regulatory in terms of protecting the environment. The advent of technology, however, is up against, in some cases, to nature and remains constant threat to the environment and entities within by producing ...
Activated carbon (AC) is one of the important bio waste used in waste treatment for different
applications. Recently demand for activated carbon is increasing due to the increased utility
of the carbon materials in ...
Chitosan and clays are both naturally occurring, plentiful minerals. A variety of technologies are
used to remove pollutants from wastewater, but adsorption is thought to be the most effective,
clear, efficient, ...
