The mediated electrochemical oxidation (MEO) process using cerium(IV) in methanesulphonic acid (MSA) as the oxidizing medium was employed for the mineralization of phenol in batch and continuous feeding modes. Although nitric acid was an extensively studied electrolyte for organic mineralization reactions in MEO processes it does possess the problem of NO(x) gas production during the reduction of nitric acid in the cathode compartment of the electrochemical cell. This problem could be circumvented by proper choice of the electrolyte medium such as MSA. The mediator cerium in MSA solution was first oxidized to higher oxidation state using an electrochemical cell. The produced Ce(IV) oxidant was then used for the destruction of phenol. It was found that phenol could be mineralized to CO2 by Ce(IV) in MSA. The evolved CO2 was continuously measured and used for the calculation of destruction efficiency. The destruction efficiency was observed to be 85% based on CO2 evolution for 1000 ppm phenol solution at 80 degrees C in continuous feed mode.

Mushrooms are considered as nutraceutical foods that can effectively prevent diseases such as cancer and other serious life-threatening conditions include neurodegeneration, hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. The , also known as the "Golden chanterelle" or "Golden girolle," is a significant wild edible ectomycorrhizal mushroom. It is renowned for its delicious, apricot-like aroma and is highly valued in various culinary traditions worldwide.

The extrudates were processed using a twin screw extruder and analyzed for their nutritional and anti-nutritional properties. The findings revealed a rising pattern in the content of fiber, moisture, protein, ash and fat as the substitution of Bambara groundnut increased in the extrudate.

Purpose: Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as carriers for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). In this process, MWCNTs were coated with mesoporous silica (MWCNT-Silica) for uniform and regular loading of AgNPs on the MWCNTs. In addition, astaxanthin (AST) extract was used as a reducing agent for silver ions to enhance the antioxidant, antibiofilm, and anticancer activities of AgNPs.

In this research, S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts are prepared through the hybridization of nitrogen-rich g-CN with TiO (coded as TCN-(): as the weight ratio of TiO:g-CN). The photocatalytic potential of TCN-() is evaluated against benzene (1-5 ppm) across varying humidity levels using a dynamic flow packed-bed photocatalytic reactor. Among the prepared composites, TCN-(10) exhibits the highest synergy between g-CN and TiO at "" ratio of 10%, showing superior best benzene degradation performance (e.

We report a bithiophene-based fluorescence probe BDT (2,2'-(((1 E, 1'E)-[2,2'-bithiophene]-5,5'-diylbis(methaneylylidene))bis(azaneylylidene))bis(4-(tert-butyl)phenol)) for recognizing ClO. BDT selectively responded to ClO, leading to a blue fluorescence enhancement in a mixture of DMF/HEPES buffer (9:1, v/v). Importantly, BDT showed an ultrafast response (within 1 s) to ClO among the fluorescent turn-on chemosensors based on bithiophene.
