Morphological, sterical, and localized thermodynamics in the adsorption of CO by activated biocarbon from the white rot fungi Trametes gibbosa.

The capture of CO by biochar has recently become one of the cornerstones of circular economy models for a sustainable society. In this work, we synthesized an activated biocarbon using Trametes gibbosa (BioACTG) in a one-step synthesis. We investigated CO adsorption mechanisms under five different temperatures using a statistical physics approach.

Entropy optimized flow of Sutterby nanomaterial subject to porous medium: Buongiorno nanofluid model.

Owing to enhanced thermal impact of nanomaterials, different applications are suggested in engineering and industrial systems like heat transfer devices, energy generation, extrusion processes, engine cooling, thermal systems, heat exchanger, chemical processes, manufacturing systems, hybrid-powered plants etc. The current communication concerns the optimized flow of Sutterby nanofluid due to stretched surface in view of different thermal sources. The investigation is supported with the applications of external heat source, magnetic force and radiative phenomenon.

Influence of Nanomaterials and Other Factors on Biohydrogen Production Rates in Microbial Electrolysis Cells-A Review.

Microbial Electrolysis Cells (MECs) are one of the bioreactors that have been used to produce bio-hydrogen by biological methods. The objective of this comprehensive review is to study the effects of MEC configuration (single-chamber and double-chamber), electrode materials (anode and cathode), substrates (sodium acetate, glucose, glycerol, domestic wastewater and industrial wastewater), pH, temperature, applied voltage and nanomaterials at maximum bio-hydrogen production rates (Bio-HPR). The obtained results were summarized based on the use of nanomaterials as electrodes, substrates, pH, temperature, applied voltage, Bio-HPR, columbic efficiency (CE) and cathode bio-hydrogen recovery (C Bio-HR).
