Background
Proteases are hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze peptide linkage cleavage reactions at the level of proteins and peptides with different degrees of specificity. This group draws the attention of industry. More ...
Combination of air stripping and biological processes for landfill leachate treatment
(
Korean Society of Environmental Engineers
, 2020 , Article)
Landfill waste decomposition generates a dark effluent named, leachate which is characterized by high organic matter content. To minimize these polluting effects, it becomes necessary to develop an effective landfill ...
Pyrolysis Process as a Sustainable Management Option of Poultry Manure: Characterization of the Derived Biochars and Assessment of their Nutrient Release Capacities
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Raw poultry manure (RPM) and its derived biochars at temperatures of 400 (B400) and 600 ◦C (B600) were physico-chemically characterized, and their ability to release nutrients was assessed under static conditions. The ...
Pt-doped armchair graphene nanoribbon as a promising gas sensor for CO and CO2: DFT study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, four armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) based sensor materials were built using Atomistic ToolKit Virtual NanoLab (ATK-VNL) and utilized to detect carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) gases. First, ...
