The energy crisis caused by the incessant growth in global energy demand joint to its associated greenhouse emissions motivates the urgent need to control and mitigate atmospheric CO2 levels. Leveraging CO2 as carbon pool ...

Ferrous iron bio-oxidation is negatively affected by the presence of heavy metals. Although the available information relates this phenomenon to purely biological aspects, it is contradictory with respect to tolerance ...

This paper studies the ferric sulphate leaching of converter slag (9% Cu) in order to recover Cu through a process in which bacteria regenerate the leaching agent. For this purpose, the effect of variables such as pulp ...

Photochemical water splitting by transition metal complexes provides a new approach to the production of hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy carrier. Several selected systems are analyzed, and the two basic half ...

The present study explored the utilization of Rugulopteryx okamurae (RO), an invasive brown seaweed, as a renewable raw material for plastic materials based on biopolymer blends. The goal of this study was to improve the ...
