Hydrogel from corncob cellulose was synthesized in this investigation. The synthesized Hydrogel was characterized by SEM, XRD, and FTIR instruments. As the results indicate the synthesized hydrogel has required and important features, these suggest the suitability of hydrogel for the adsorption of methylene blue dye (MBD).

The worst aspects of conventional plastics were their inability to biodegrade, their poor capacity to transmit water vapor, and their production of greenhouse gases. Usages of bioplastics are necessary for the advancement of a green economy and environment in order to eradicate these drawbacks of traditional plastics.

Then, the percentage reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD) was investigated. The effect of different experimental factors such as solution pH, sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration, calcium chloride (CaCl) concentration, electric current, electrolysis duration, and hydrogen peroxide dosage on the percent removal efficiency of the hybrid electrochemical oxidation (ECO) with the ultraviolet and hydrogen peroxide (UV/HO) process has been investigated.

The conversion of this biomass into ethanol involved processing techniques, which include hydrolysis, fermentation, and distillation. This research focuses on determining optimal parameters that are temperature, acid concentration, and hydrolyzing time in a hydrolysis stage.
