The European Union regards gallium as a crucial element. Because of that, the retrieval of gallium ions from secondary sources through diverse methodologies is of the utmost significance in an actual economical context. The primary goal of this study was to explore the viability of MgFeO spinel as an adsorbent material for Ga(III) ions recovery from aqueous solutions.

The aim of this study was to develop new materials with adsorbent properties that can be used for the adsorption recovery of Au(III) from aqueous solutions. To achieve this result, it is necessary to obtain inexpensive adsorbent materials in a granular form. Concomitantly, these materials must have a high adsorption capacity and selectivity.

Hard milling is being increasingly used as an alternative to EDM due to its high productivity. The present paper presents the results of theoretical-experimental research on the face milling of hard steel 55NiCrMoV7. A comprehensive analysis of cutting temperatures and forces during single-tooth milling and a morphological examination of the resulting chips are conducted for roughing and semi-finishing operations.

The need to develop advanced wastewater treatment techniques and their use has become a priority, the main goal being the efficient removal of pollutants, especially those of organic origin. This study presents the photo-degradation of a pharmaceutical wastewater containing Kabi cytarabine, using ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and a synthesized catalyst, a composite based on bismuth and iron oxides (BFO). The size of the bandgap was determined by UV spectroscopy, having a value of 2.
