Argan leaves along with fruit by-products serve, since ancient times, as animal feed as well as incorporated into other food products. Most of research works conducted on argan tree were devoted to oily fraction and little is known about by-product. In this study, thirteen elements including macro, micro-elements as well as heavy metals were quantified in argan leaves, cake and pulp using inductively

Electro-deposition method was used to incorporate rice husk ash (RHA) into the Zn-ZnO- XRHA composite coatingfor mild steel pipeline exterior coating from a chloride-based bath. Zn-ZnO- XRHA composite coatings were obtained for x = 0 g, 10 g and 20 g at a constant bath temperature of 75 °C, constant stirring rate of 400 rpm, 1.4 A current and 15 min deposition span. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)

Data on concentration of essential and toxic metals as well as microbial load of conventionally grown and organic certified commonly consumed vegetable crops Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomato) and Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench (okra) in Mysore region of Southern India were determined analytically using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean concentrations of heavy metals and microbial contaminants

In this study, cobalt aluminate was prepared by a sol-gel method. XRD and FTIR analyses of the precursors obtained at 300 °C for 12 h revealed that the type of complexing agent used in the synthesis affects the pyrolysis step. An amorphous phase was obtained by using citric acid as the complexing agent. A beginning of crystallization was observed by using complexing agents such as polyacrylic acid

This article presents data on the evaluation of Stylosanthes gracilis extract as corrosion inhibitor for 304 L in H2SO4 solution. The data were obtained from weight loss measurements, energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies. The extract reduced the rate of corrosion on SS 304l in H2SO4 solution at an optimum concentration of 1.2 g/L with inhibition efficiency of about 87.81% and

Nowadays, drug residues continuously infiltrate the ecosystem and contribute to water pollution. The present work focus is on removing the antidepressant Sertraline Hydrochloride (Ser-HCl) from water by applying the Electro-Fenton process. However, the viability of implementing a linkage of this process with the biological was investigated as an important task to increase purification performance while

This paper focuses on developing an effective and commercially available adsorbent for cationic dye Safranin (SF). The cationic resin Amberlite ®IRC-50 was chose for this purpose. ®IRC-50 was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. The adsorption was optimized under various parameters

Citrus paradisi and Cymbopogon distillates were admixed in ratio 1:1 and assessed for their inhibition effect on Cu-Ni cupronickel alloy in 0.25 M H2SO4–3.5% NaCl electrolyte. Results revealed the distillates effectively inhibited the Cu-Ni alloy at 2–5% CPC concentrations. The degradation rate of Cu-Ni alloy without distillate is 0.373 mm/y whereas at 1% concentration, the degradation rate decreased

Amino acid is an important ingredient for material modification in the wide spectrum of fields, starts from pollutant removal up to biomedical application. Tofu wastewater has been used as a source of protein containing various amino acids. Herein, we qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed the amino acid contents of tofu wastewater by means of liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry

Using the slow solvent evaporation method with deionized water as the solvent, a single crystal of glycine potassium iodide (GPI) was grown at room temperature. The GPI crystal belongs with space group Cc to the monoclinic system. Functional groups present in the sample were identified by FTIR spectral analysis. The crystals were further characterized by UV-Vis NIR transmission spectrum in the range

A polemic is given regarding the published mathematical representations that Rajalakshmi and coworkers [Chem. Data Collect. 30 (2020) 100,561/1–100,561/14] reported in their paper to describe the measured densities and speeds of sounds, as well as the calculated excess molar volumes and excess isentropic compressibilities, of binary mixtures of benzylamine with either tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran
