Chaotic self-adaptive sine cosine multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve microgrid optimal energy scheduling problems.

Researchers are increasingly focusing on renewable energy due to its high reliability, energy independence, efficiency, and environmental benefits. This paper introduces a novel multi-objective framework for the short-term scheduling of microgrids (MGs), which addresses the conflicting objectives of minimizing operating expenses and reducing pollution emissions. The core contribution is the development of the Chaotic Self-Adaptive Sine Cosine Algorithm (CSASCA).

Impact of novel deflocculant ZnO/Chitosan nanocomposite film in disperser pretreatment enhancing energy efficient anaerobic digestion: Parameter assessment and cost exploration.

This paper proposed to interpret the novel method of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) removal in advance to sludge disintegration to enrich bioenergy generation. The sludge has been subjected to deflocculation using Zinc oxide/Chitosan nanocomposite film (ZCNF) and achieved 98.97% of solubilization which enhance the solubilization of organics.

Decolourisation of azo dye, Acid Red-18 by Phanerochaete chrysosporium.

The ability of wood rotting fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium to decolourise azo dye, Acid Red -18 was investigated. The optimal parameters (pH and cell load) required for effective decolourisation were determined. The strain was capable of decolourising dye over a pH range of 4-6 and decolourisation was rather fast, more than 90% in all cases.

Removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater by electrochemical oxidation using cylindrical flow reactor and optimization of treatment conditions.

This paper examines the use of electrooxidation for treatment of wastewater obtained from a pharmaceutical industry. The wastewater primarily contained Gentamicin and Dexamethasone. With NaCl as supporting electrolyte, the effluent was treated in a cylindrical flow reactor in continuous (single pass) mode under various current densities (2-5 A/dm2) and flow rates (10-40 L/h).
