To ensure safe drinking water and reduce the harmful impact of wastewater on the environment, pollutants are removed using various water treatment procedures such as oxidation, adsorption, filtration, and biological processes. However, conventional methods only partially remove pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other organic micropollutants from wat...

Intensive mining of fossil fuels has caused the exhaustion of nonrenewable natural resources, water, and air pollution,  and significant deterioration and degradation of soils. One of the main problems associated with electricity generation from coal combustion is the “energy waste” issue. When analyzing the potentially harmful env...

In this study, we investigate the interactions between organic nanocone structures and metformin, a widely prescribed drug for managing high blood sugar levels. To gain deeper insights into binding affinities and noncovalent interactions, we employ a multiscale computational approach that integrates various levels of atomistic modeling. Initially, ...

The growing need to reduce agricultural waste and replace emission from fossil fuels has created a shared research interest. These two areas are complementary, leading to an increased focus on utilizing agricultural waste biomass as an alternative energy source, particularly through the production of liquid and solid biofuels via pyrolysis. Py...

Lemon essential oil is widely used in both commercial and domestic products. It consists of a mixture of volatile liposoluble compounds responsible for its characteristic fragrance and bioactive properties such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. The importance of lemon essential oil is even more significant when consideri...

This paper investigated the adsorption kinetics of methylene blue (MB) on activated carbon. Tests of the adsorbent (granulometric composition and FT-IR analysis) showed that the adsorbent has a wide distribution of particles (5-250 μm) and that the most frequent vibrations are caused by N=C=N stretching, C=C=C stretching, metal-oxygen vibrations...
