Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been used in many applications such as pharmaceutical, clinical and cosmetics, so its separation and purification is very important. In this study, firstly d-glucuronic acid imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been synthesized for the separation of HA which has glucuronic acid part in its structure. MIP particles have characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and swelling tests. Then, synthesized MIP particles have embedded into polyacrylamide based cryogel. Cryogel has prepared by free radical cryogelation process initiated by N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) and ammonium persulfate (APS) as redox initiators. This cryogel material was characterized by FT-IR, swelling tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and surface adsorption analyze including pore size analyzer (BET) method. The adsorption of HA has investigated by spectrophotometric method using MIPs embedded into cryogel columns (GAIPEC) and the maximum HA adsorption capacity was found to be 318mgg(-1). The selectivity of GAIPEC column has estimated using N-acetylglucose amine as interfering agent since this molecule is a part of HA and the results have shown that GAIPEC has been nearly 35 times selective for HA than N-acetylglucose amine. The optimum chromatographic conditions for separation of HA were investigated. pH 7.0 buffer solution for elution and 0.1M of NaCl solution as desorption agent were used at 0.5mLmin(-1) flow rate. Also, recovery of GAIPEC was investigated and the results have shown that GAIPEC could be used many times without decreasing its adsorption capacity significantly. Here in, combining selectivity of MIP particles and mechanical properties of cryogel, a rigid and stable material was prepared for the separation and purification of HA. To point out this, HA has been isolated from fish eye and fermentation of Streptococcus equi RSKK 679 cell culture. After that, it has characterized and Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC) applications have been investigated.

An increasing amount of water pollution is being caused by an increase in industrial activity. Recently, a wide range of methods, including extraction, chemical coagulation, membrane separation, chemical precipitation, adsorption, and ion exchange, have been used to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The adsorption technique is believed to be the most highly effective method for eliminating heavy metals from wastewater among all of them.

The introduction of high-performance TLC (HPTLC) instrumentation that allows precise control of critical parameters has transformed the technique into an efficient and rapid tool for analyzing various metabolites, namely lipids. Although mass spectrometry (MS) has largely replaced lipid analysis techniques over recent decades due to its comprehensive lipidome profiling capabilities, it typically lacks the rapidity and simplicity of TLC. HPTLC remains advantageous due to its ease of use, simpler data interpretation, and compatibility with complementary techniques.

This study presents a novel and efficient method for extracting immunoglobulin Y (IgY) antibodies from egg yolk based on the principle of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) induced by polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG 8000). Initial delipidation of egg yolk samples with varying PEG 8000 concentrations demonstrated optimal delipidation efficiency and protein recovery at 2.5 % PEG 8000 concentration.

The scarcity of freshwater resources and the treatment of dye wastewater have emerged as unavoidable challenges that need to be addressed. The combination of solar-driven interfacial evaporation, photocatalytic degradation, and superhydrophobic surface provides an effective approach for seawater desalination and the treatment of organic dyes. In this study, we fabricated a multifunctional synergistic solar evaporator by depositing cupric oxide nanoparticles onto polypyrrole (PPy) coating and subsequently modified it with a hydrophobic agent successfully.
