Highly Ecofriendly Inorganic Pesticide Based on TiO Incorporated with Nano-Carbon Composites for Fungus Disinfection.

Unlabelled: Crop destruction organisms are an essential factor hindering cocoa plants' production yield. It is the biggest problem for cocoa farmers to resolve and reduce the impact of the fungus on cocoa pods. Herein, this study presents the optimization of inorganic pesticides based on nano-carbon self-doped TiO (C/TiO) nanocomposites capable of disinfecting broad-spectrum microorganisms for the practical application of photodisinfection technology.

Optimization of OPEFB lignocellulose transformation process through ionic liquid [TEA][HSO] based pretreatment.

Research on the transformation of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) through pretreatment process using ionic liquid triethylammonium hydrogen sulphate (IL [TEA][HSO]) was completed. The stages of the transformation process carried out were the synthesis of IL with the one-spot method, optimization of IL composition and pretreatment temperature, and IL recovery. The success of the IL synthesis stage was analyzed by FTIR, H-NMR and TGA.
