Water scarcity encourages researchers to keep working on natural coagulant agents such as Moringa oleifera seed extract, that could be used even in developing countries. With this scope, this investigation is focused on the optimization of certain parameters affecting the use of this coagulant product in the clarification of real surface water. Acidic pH levels seem to enhance the coagulation p...

This article deals with recent progress including the author’s work in the field of block copolymer self-assembly in solution and on solid surfaces. The synthesis methods for producing block copolymers with well-defined structures, molecular weights and composition are outlined with emphasis on ionic and controlled free radical polymerization techniques. A general overview of the preparation, c...

In traditional methods of water purification, the use chemical reagents leads to appearance toxic by-products and wastes that require complex energy-consumption processing technologies. accordance with principles sustainable development “green” technologies, a significant revision existing treatment is required. The review highlights main trends innovative purification disinfection Modification...

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is part of the pathway to consolidate waste as a relevant alternative for valorization organic waste. The objective SSF produce one or several bioproducts added value from solid substrates. can use wide variety substrates thus, it an excellent candidate in framework circular bioeconomy change status feedstock. development was boosted previous decade by scientific ...

A slaughterhouse by-product, bovine blood hemoglobin (Hb), has been reported as an adequate flocculant. However, the dark brown/red color originated from heme prosthetic group of Hb severely limited its widespread adoption. To improve flocculation efficiency and expand applications, we removed by acidified acetone, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydrogen peroxide oxidation. These heme-depleted Hbs (a...
