With the worsening of the oil-product pollution problem, oil-water separation has attracted increased attention in recent years. In this study, a porous three-dimensional (3D) carbon aerogel based on cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by a facile and green approach. The resulting CNF/PVA/GO aerogels were synthesized through an environm...

The problem of degradation of agricultural residues from palm oil industry is increasing due to its expansion. Lignocelloulosic waste from these industry represent large amount of unutilized resources, this is due to their high lignin content. Since white rot fungi are capable of degrading lignin, its potential for the degradation of lignocelloulosic waste from palm oil industry was accessed. T...

biodegradable polysacharyd-based film was developed by incorporating pimpinella affinis essential oil (pao) into methyle cellulose (mc) at level of 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% v/v. then, its antimicrobial activity tested against 7 bacteria include staphylococcus aureus (ptcc 1431), pseudomonas aeruginosa (ptcc 1151), pseudomonas putida(ptcc 1691),esherichia coli (ptcc 3315), listeria monocytogenes (ptcc ...

Although Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) can be used as a raw material for biodiesel production, the POME contains an excessive amount of Free Fatty Acids (FFA), necessitating preliminary process and esterification. is degummed using phosphate acid bleached with carbon active. Additionally, this study KOH-impregnated zeolite to reduce FFA. The purpose determine effect adding impregnated on was he...

This study reports the results of a prospective randomised controlled trial that compared three non-adherent wound dressings applied to hand surgery wounds. Paraffin-impregnated gauze (Jelonet) was compared with a cellulose, acetate fibre dressing coated with a petrolatum emulsion (Adaptic) and a polyamide net dressing impregnated with silicone gel (Mepitel). The dressings were assessed for the...
