Carbonaceous N-containing materials derived from leather skin residues have been found to have unprecedented photocatalytic properties as compared to P25 Evonik, with an interesting degradation potential for contaminants in water (e.g. phenol). The carbonaceous materials were prepared by carbonization of the leather skin residues at different temperatures (180-600oC). Different crystalline spec...

Abstract Nowadays, diverse leather usage conditions and increasing demands from consumers challenge the industry. Traditional manufacturing is facing long-term challenges, including low-value threshold, confined application fields, environmental issues. Leather inherits all biomimetic properties of natural skin such as flexibility, sanitation, cold resistance, biocompatibility, biodegradability...

The high demand for dyes in the paper, cosmetic, clothing, leather, and food industries drives up use of as a result industrialization. As result, wastewater production from dye manufacturing activities will rise. presence their structural compounds industrial sources place humans, animals plants lives at risk. Synthetic are more challenging to decolorize because they resistant chemical physica...

Efficacy of azoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin, mefenoxam, and potassium phosphite for control of strawberry leather rot, caused by Phytophthora cactorum, was evaluated on a commercial farm. Foliar sprays of azoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin, and potassium phosphite were applied weekly from bloom through harvest and mefenoxam was applied twice as a soil drench at early plant growth and at fruit set. All f...
