Skin wounds can drive global impacts, socially and economically, in parallel with their elevated incidence rate. Therefore, utilizing the dual-activity of Brassica Oleracea (Red Cabbage) extract, of being pH-sensitive and biologically active in designing novel, therapeutic, and pH-sensitive wound dressings with an easily stripped-off feature, is critical. Wound dressings were designed using two separate hydrogels based on chitosan (CS) and hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), each loaded with RCE.

- Anaerobic co-digestion of paperboard sludge (PS) and sewage sludge (SS) enhances biogas production by finding the optimal mixing ratio of 50:50, resulting in a methane yield of 241.68 mL/g COD and improved conversion efficiencies for proteins, carbohydrates, and volatile fatty acids (VFAs).
- The co-digestion process promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria that help convert complex organic matter into biomethane, mitigating issues like VFA accumulation and nutrient imbalances.
- A combined system for anaerobic digestion and thermal treatment can produce biochar while generating significant profits from biogas and carbon credits, with a projected payback period of 6.60 years, though further research is still
