High-purity CaO cubic crystallites extracted from limestone exhibited excellent activity as base catalysts for waste cooking oil (WCO) conversion into biodiesel. Saponin from extract acted as a surfactant in CaO extraction and transformation into well-defined cubic microcrystallites. The application of saponin from extract as a surfactant for CaO production results in a high level of CaO purity and particle size reduction compared to directly calcined limestone (CaO-MgO).

Conversion of red mud (RM) that contains a high level of silica, alumina and iron minerals into heterogenous catalysts, offers a route for the utilization of abundant toxic by-products of bauxite refining. In this study, the conversion of red mud into mesoporous Fe-aluminosilicate produced selective catalysts for the deoxygenation of waste cooking oil to green diesel hydrocarbons. Direct conversion of red mud in the presence cetyltrimethylammonium bromide into Fe-aluminosilicate (RM-CTA) produced a highly mesoporous structure with oligomeric FeO clusters within the pores.

  • The intestinal epithelium is crucial for preventing diseases and maintaining health, with Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) supporting its integrity under stress.
  • The study found that partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) increases HSP27 expression in intestinal cells and mouse intestines through translational mechanisms, modulated by specific signaling pathways.
  • Results suggest that dietary fibers like PHGG can positively influence intestinal health by enhancing the function of proteins like HSP27, providing insights into the relationship between diet and gut physiology.
