The current study presents a simple and cost-competitive method for the development of high-performance superhydrophobic superoleophilic cotton fabrics coated with cadmium oxide/cerotic acid (CdO/CE)-polycaprolactone (PCL)- oxide/stearic (CdO/ST)-polycaprolactone-grafted hybrid composites. X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are used to characterize CdO/CE-PCL CdO/ST-PCL polycaprolactone-modified fabrics. Using an optical contact angle meter, wetting behavior corrosive liquids such as coffee, milk, tea, water dyed methylene blue, strong acids (HCl), alkali (NaOH), saturated salt solution (NaCl) on CdO-CE/ST/PCL-modified is assessed well durability in liquids. Data obtained from oil-water separation experiment indicate remarkable efficiency oil purity values ≥99.97 wt %, high permeation flux up 11,700 ± 300 L m-2 h-1 observed surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions via gravity-driven technique. From data obtained, it concluded that nano-CdO-grafted polymer composite-coated (CdO-ST/(CE)/PCL/CFs) can be utilized self-cleaning oil/water applications.

The rapid increase in soil and water pollution is primarily attributed to anthropogenic factors, notably the mismanagement of post-consumer plastics on a global scale. This exploratory research design evaluated effectiveness natural hydrophobic cattail (Typha Latifolia) fibres (CFs) as bio-adsorbents microplastic particles (MPPs) from wastewater. study investigates how composition adsorption environment affects rate. Straightforward batch tests were conducted evaluate “spontaneous” sorption MPPs onto CFs. Five MPP materials (PVC, PP, LDPE, HDPE, Nylon 6) evaluated. Industrial wastewater (PW) Type II Distilled Water (DW) employed environments. test results show that CFs are effective removing five DW PW. However, higher removal percentage was observed PW, ranging 89% 100% for PVC, while 6 increased 29.9%, 50%. These findings indicate interactions drive “spontaneous instantaneous” process adjusting can effectively enhance highlights significant role bio-substrates play mitigating environmental pollution, serving efficient, sustainable, non-toxic, biodegradable, low-cost, reliable adsorbents wastewaters.

Microplastics (MPs) present a pressing environmental concern, posing formidable challenges to their effective elimination from water systems. Bioadsorbents offer promising, eco-friendly, and cost-effective alternative traditional removal methods. This review analyzes 206 research papers (2016-January 2024) explore recent advances in bioadsorbent design application for microplastic removal. We examine the sources ecological impacts of MPs, then delve into most studied bioadsorbents: biochar (51.9%), biomass-derived activated carbon (7.4%), synthetic sponges/aerogels (25.9%), graphene-based materials (14.8%). The critically factors influencing MP adsorption by these materials, including type size, adsorbent properties, experimental conditions. Reported efficiencies ranged 31% 100%, with polystyrene (52%) being common test polymer. Finally, intricate mechanisms MP-bioadsorbent interaction are discussed. highlight key future directions optimising scaling up bioadsorbent-based removal, acknowledging early stage this promising sustainable approach.

Background This study explored the utilization of luffa sponge (LS) in enhancing acetification processes. LS is known for having high porosity and specific surface area, can provide a novel means supporting growth acetic acid bacteria (AAB) to improve biomass yield rate, thereby promote more efficient sustainable vinegar production. Moreover, promising potential coated with κ-carrageenan (LSK) they may represent effective alternatives co-production industrially valuable bioproducts, example bacterial cellulose (BC) acid. Methods LSK were employed as adsorbents Acetobacter pasteurianus UMCC 2951 submerged semi-continuous process. Experiments conducted under reciprocal shaking at 1 Hz temperature 32 °C. The performance two systems (LS-AAB LSK-AAB respectively) was evaluated based on cell dry weight (CDW), BC biofilm formation. Results use significantly increased during acetification, achieving CDW 3.34 mg/L versus 0.91 obtained planktonic cells. Coating further enhanced yield, 4.45 mg/L. Acetification rates also higher system, reaching 3.33 ± 0.05 g/L d opposed 2.45 LS-AAB 1.13 Additionally, formation second operational cycle pronounced system (37.0 3.0 mg/L, 25.0 2.0 LS-AAB). Conclusions demonstrates that improves efficiency process, particularly when κ-carrageenan. accelerated highlight especially variant, These offer approach small-scale, processes aligns eco-friendly practices caters specialized market needs. Finally, this innovative method facilitates dual production cellulose, applications biotechnological fields.
