Recoverable vegetable wastes for the degradation of dyes from wastewater

Food waste is a significant problem globally, with considerable economic and social impact, with estimates suggesting that approximately one-third of products are wasted annually along the supply chain. This waste not only takes up large spaces in landfills, but also contributes...

In Vitro and In Silico Evaluation of the Antitumor Potential of New Benzotriazole–1,2,4-Triazole Hybrids

Background/Objectives: One of the major problems facing the medical world is cancer, which causes millions of deaths each year. Nitrogen-containing heterocycles appear to offer a potential solution to this problem. Thus, the present study aimed to synthesize and characterize—both...

Pyrazoline-functionalized polyurethanes as selective fluorescent sensors for Fe3+ ions

Pyrazolines are a growing class of five membered nitrogen containing organic compounds valued for their luminescence, easy synthesis, stability, and strong metal binding ability, which makes them widely used as fluorescent sensors for detecting metal ions. In this paper, a pyrazo...

Experimental insights into thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and DSC analysis of surfactant improved TiO2 – water nanofluids

This study investigates the isobaric heat capacity, thermal and electrical conductivity variations in water-based nanofluid containing titanium dioxide nanoparticles, with particular emphasis on the role of surfactants and temperature. While the addition of nanoparticles to disti...
