Co-pyrolysis of coal and raw/torrefied biomass: a review on chemistry, kinetics and implementation
(Elsevier, 2021)
Thermochemical conversion via co-pyrolysis has the potential to be an efficient route for converting biomass to
bio-energy and bio-refinery products. In this review, the implementation of co-pyrolysis of torrefied biomass ...
Modelling nanoparticles parameters for antimicrobial activity
(Springer, 2020)
The current study reveals the antimicrobial activity of various nanoparticles (NPs) against numerous microorganisms through statistical models that define suitable parameters to improve the antimicrobial efficacy of NPs. ...
Mercury removal by porous sulfur copolymers: adsorption isotherm and kinetics studies
(Elsevier, 2020)
Mercury is one of the most toxic, harmful element present in water that severely affects human health. Many traditional as well as advanced technologies were developed to remove mercury from wastewater. In this study, ...
Electrical resistivity of carbonaceous bed material at high temperature
(Springer Verlag, 2020)
This study reports the effect of high-temperature treatment on the electrical properties of charcoal, coal, and coke. The electrical resistivity of industrial charcoal samples used as a reducing agent in electric arc ...
Synthesis and evaluation of C3 substituted chalcone-based derivatives of 7-azaindole as protein kinase inhibitors
(Wiley, 2020)
Chalcones are a group of naturally occurring or synthetic compounds which possess a wide range of biological activities. In this paper, a series of twenty‐three 7‐azaindole‐chalcone hybrids (5a–w) were synthesized and ...
On the detection potential of blazar flares for current neutrino telescopes
(IOP Publishers, 2020)
Blazar jets are extreme environments, in which relativistic proton interactions with an ultraviolet photon field could give rise to photopion production. High-confidence associations of individual high-energy neutrinos ...
Phylogeny and systematics of the Sesamia coniota Hampson species group (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Noctuinae: Apameini: Sesamiina), with the description of three new species from the Afrotropical region
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
In this study, we review six morphologically similar species of Sesamia Guenée, 1852 from Africa, including three new species that are described: Sesamia corymbosus Le Ru n. sp., S. schoenoplectus Le Ru n. sp. and S. ...
Investigation of structural and optical properties of biosynthesized Zincite (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) via an aqueous extract of Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaves
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2020)
Biosynthesized Zincite nanoparticles have been successfully demonstrated by a completely green process mediated aqueous extract of rosemary leaves acting as both reducing and stabilizing agents and zinc nitrate hexahydrate ...
Development of a low purity aluminum alloy (Al6082) anodization process and its application as a platinum-based catalyst in catalytic hydrogen combustion
(Elsevier, 2020)
In this study, we present a process to prepare a Pt/anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) catalyst for catalytic hydrogen combustion applications using low cost and low aluminum (Al) purity Al6082 alloy (97.5% Al) as the substrate. ...
The Khutsong housing project and power relationships: an application of Lukes’ three dimensions of power
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
This article critically examines power relationships amongst actors in a local housing development project in the Khutsong township in South Africa. For this purpose, actors’ interpretations and actions of their project ...
