Efficient water purification: CuO-enhanced biochar from banana peels for removing Congo red dye.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on addressing the challenges of treating dye-laden wastewater, particularly using biochar from banana peels combined with copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO/BC) to remove Congo red (CR) dye from water.
- Different factors influencing CR removal, such as the concentration of the adsorbent, contact time, initial dye concentration, and temperature, were systematically tested, showing the CuO/BC nanocomposite has a high adsorption capacity of 233.6 mg/g.
- The adsorption process was best described by the Langmuir and pseudo-2nd-order models, indicating that it is spontaneous, endothermic, and involves randomness in the adsorption mechanism.
The aims of this study were isolation-purification and characterization of L-glutaminase from L. gasseri BRLHM clinical isolates and investigation of its efficiency as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa.

ICIs are associated with multiple toxic adverse events affecting various organs, known collectively as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Dry eye, uveitis, ocular myasthenia, and cicatrizing conjunctivitis are well-recognized ocular irAEs associated with ICIs.

The limited conversion of dietary DHA necessitates its consumption as food supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids possess anti-arrhythmic and anti-inflammatory capabilities, contributing to cardiovascular health.
