This paper is about the stagnation point flow and mass transfer with chemical reaction past a stretching/shrinking cylinder. The governing partial differential equations in cylindrical form are transformed into ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation. The transformed equations are solved numerically using a shooting method. Results for the skin friction coefficient, Schmidt number, velocity profiles as well as concentration profiles are presented for different values of the governing parameters. Effects of the curvature parameter, stretching/shrinking parameter and Schmidt number on the flow and mass transfer characteristics are examined. The study indicates that dual solutions exist for the shrinking cylinder but for the stretching cylinder, the solution is unique. It is observed that the surface shear stress and the mass transfer rate at the surface increase as the curvature parameter increases.

The accumulation of organic pollutants and solid waste is one of the major environmental challenges faced globally. Establishing an efficient recycling system for solid waste and designing cost-effective, high-performance photocatalysts are urgent tasks for the removal of organic pollutants from water. This study utilizes coal gangue as the precursor to synthesize a coal gangue-based phosphorus-silicon-aluminum molecular sieve (SAPO-5) via hydrothermal synthesis.

Advancing durable solutions for carbon storage and removal at the gigaton scale to produce solid carbonates carbon mineralization requires harnessing earth abundant magnesium silicate resources. Calibrated insights linking the structural and morphological features of earth abundant amorphous and crystalline magnesium silicate phases to their reactivity are essential for scalable deployment but remain underdeveloped. To resolve the influence of silica coordination and mass transfer on carbon mineralization behavior, magnesium silicates bearing amorphous and crystalline phases (AC Mg-silicate) are synthesized.
