Later, this study aims to optimize wastewater behaviour (pH, concentration and temperature) for oily-wastewater separation through green ceramic membrane using central composite design (CCD) of response surface methods (RSM). The three effective parameters analyzed were oil pH (3–11), oil concentration (10–10000 ppm), oil temperature (30–100 °C) and its combined effect to obtain high oil flux and excellent oil separation efficiency. Through the investigation it was found that the optimum value of pH, oil concentration and temperature were 10, 10.01 ppm and 69.04 °C.

Biodiesel has emerged as a promising vehicular fuel due to its similar physiochemical properties to mineral diesel and its potential to minimise environmental impact. However, the commercialisation of biodiesel production faces challenges, particularly related to feedstock and catalyst selection. This study explored the utilisation of waste laboratory glass to synthesize heterogeneous catalyst for producing biodiesel from a blend of beef tallow and waste cooking oil. Heterogeneous catalysts are crucial for achieving high conversion efficiency, reusability, ease of separation and minimal environmental degradation. The particle size distribution of the catalysts was heterogeneous, with 23.33 % of particles passing 710 μm, 30.83 % passing 500 μm, and 45.83 % passing 350 μm. XRF analysis revealed that silica was the primary elemental constituent, comprising over 70 % of the total sample composition, and successful incorporation of Na, Mg, and Zn in the respective treated catalysts was observed.

This study applies a Bayesian approach to assess uncertainties within adsorption models quantitatively and qualitatively. Through Bayesian analysis, substantial parameter variability was identified in the Sips model, with posterior distributions for thermodynamic parameters revealing broad uncertainty regions and a high likelihood of exothermic enthalpy values (i.e. <span><math><mrow><mi>P</mi><mo>(</mo><mrow><mstyle><mi>Δ</mi></mstyle><msup><mi>H</mi><mo>∘</mo></msup><mo><</mo><mn>0</mn></mrow><mo>)</mo><mo>></mo><mn>0.5</mn></mrow></math></span>), which often deviate from established thermodynamic expectations across different systems. Despite achieving good fit statistics (e.g., R² ≈ 0.99), this flexibility in the Sips model does not consistently translate into reliable thermodynamic interpretations. In contrast, the Langmuir model yields more stable estimates, offering narrower and thermodynamically consistent probability distributions for equilibrium constants (e.g., ΔH° > 0 and ΔS° > 0) and Gibbs free energy changes across temperature variations, albeit with slightly lower fit statistics (e.g., R² ≈ 0.97).
