This study reports covalent immobilization of β-glucosidase (BGL) from Bacillus subtilis PS on magnetically recyclable iron nanoparticles for enhancing robustness, facile recovery and reuse of enzyme. Immobilized BGL iron nanoparticles (BGL-INPs) were characterized by various biophysical techniques viz. TEM, DLS, FTIR and CD spectroscopy. The efficiency and yield of immobilization were 89.78 and 84.80%, respectively. After immobilization, optimum pH remained 6.0 whereas optimum temperature upraised to 70 °C whereas apparent K and V shifted from 0.819 mM to 0.941 mM and 54.46 to 57.67 μmole/min/mg, respectively. Immobilization conferred lower activation energy and improved pH and thermal stabilities. The BGL-INPs retained 85% activity up to 10th cycle of reuse and hydrolyzed more than 90% of cellobiose to glucose within 30 min. Conclusively, improved pH, thermal stability and excellent reusability over free enzyme make BGL-INPs a promising candidate for sustainable bioethanol production and other industrial applications.

The widespread use of neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets has raised concerns about the environmental impact of their disposal, prompting the need for sustainable recycling strategies. Traditional solvents used in recycling are toxic and flammable, making them risky to use. Ionic liquids are safer and greener options with low vapor pressure, high stability, and less flammability.

The rapid industrialization and human activities in catchments have posed notable global challenges in removing of heavy metal contaminants from wastewater. Here, Schiff-bases (SB) of cyanoguanidine (CG) and salicylaldehyde (SA) were covalently grafted on a magnetic nanocomposite of chitosan to form a hybrid magnetic nanostructure (FeO@CS-CGSB). The synthesized structure was characterized using various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis (BET).

In situ measurements of the chemical identity and quantity of anode gases during electrochemical measurements and rare earth (RE) electrolysis from fluoride-based molten salts composed of different kinds of rare earth oxides (REOs) were performed using FTIR spectrometry. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) was carried out to characterize oxidation processes and determine the anodic effect from NdF + PrF + LiF + REO melt. RE complex formation and subsequent reactions on the GC anode surface were discussed to understand the formation pathways of CO/CO and perfluorocarbon gases (PFC), mainly CF and CF.

This study presents a novel FeO/C composite material synthesized from red mud through a process of magnetic roasting and separation. The research explores the impact of FeO/C dosages, sodium persulfate (PS) concentrations, and initial solution pH on the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency using Acid Orange 7 as a model pollutant. Optimal conditions were identified as 3 g/L FeO/C, 20 mM PS, and an initial pH of 2, achieving a 94.
