However, optimizing extraction methods, particularly solvent selection and technique, remains a challenge. This study introduces an innovative binary solvent mixture of virgin coconut oil (VCO) and ethanol, combined with ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), to significantly enhance xanthone yield. Solubility studies of xanthone in ethanol-VCO mixtures were conducted at four temperatures (303.15–323.15 K) across eleven volume ratios (0:1–1:0). The results demonstrated that the mixed-solvent achieved superior xanthone solubility compared to pure ethanol or VCO, with the maximum solubility (0.0329 g/g) observed at a VCO mass fraction of 0.63 at 323.15 K. The Jouyban-Acree model was modified and successfully correlated the solubility data, achieving an R<sup>2</sup> value of 0.999. Applying this optimized solvent mixture in UAE, xanthone concentration increased by up to 12 % compared to VCO alone with α-mangostin reaching 83.167 mg/g MP, with a linear relationship observed between ultrasound intensity, extraction time, and xanthone yield. The kinetics of UAE were effectively modeled using Peleg’s model, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model type 2, and the Response Surface Method. This mixed solvent method offers a more efficient and sustainable alternative to single-solvent, representing a significant advancement in xanthone extraction technology. The plant oil-based binary solvent developed in this study introduces a novel option for researchers working on the extraction of green plant compounds. Furthermore, it holds promising applications across various chemical engineering industries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12134,"journal":{"name":"Food and Bioproducts Processing","volume":"150 ","pages":"Pages 350-359"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143430007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study involved pretreating oilseed rape straw (ORS) to extract waste biomass to functionalize with active inorganic bimetallic layer, which serves as the primary component for adsorbing ammonia nitrogen from both simulated and real wastewater. The hierarchical structure of the Cu-Al bimetallic hydroxide-functionalized waste ORS biomass (Cu-Al@ORS) is characterized by an abundance of nanosheet clusters on its surface, providing a large number of binding sites. Under the optimal conditions (pH 7.0, temperature 25 °C), the maximum removal efficiency towards ammonia nitrogen can reach 54.5 %. According to the adsorption kinetics fitting result, the adsorption of ammonia nitrogen by Cu-Al@ORS conforms well to the pseudo-second order kinetic model with an adsorption capacity of 87.11 mg/g and chemisorption is the rate-determining step in the adsorption process. Furthermore, the Cu-Al@ORS exhibits comparable adsorption stability and regeneration performance in practical applications. The removal efficiency declines to 49.89 % after the fifth cycle, which is significantly lower than the 67.57 % decrease observed in activated carbon.
