Many techniques have been developed to improve membrane hydrophobicity by depositing particles on the membrane surface. In this study, a nanocomposite membrane utilizing Triethylenetetramine (TETA) is suggested. The membrane incorporates Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) in conjunction with Triethylenetetramine Dihydrochloride (TETA-DH). In water bath, different percentages of TETA-DH films are formed. Electro-spin fabrication of MWCNTs using TETA-DH yields smooth, low-pore membranes. Membranes and their characteristics are identified by contact angle, layer thickness, and conductivity measurements. Membrane performance is examined for heat flux and salt rejection. Compared to commercial membranes, the proposed membrane exhibits superior antifouling and anti-wetting features. The membrane exhibited permeation and rejection ratio of 46 Kg m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> h<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> and 99.99% respectively which is superior as compared with other membranes. The hydrophilic Surface Modifying Macromolecules percentage (LSMM%) is evaluated because it depends on average pore size, hydrophobicity, surface porosity, and shape. The tests demonstrate the excellent performance of the proposed membrane for controlling membrane fouling.","PeriodicalId":20324,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Chemical Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141611258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The corrosion inhibition and adsorption properties of LCFH on carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution were studied by static sample weight loss test, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and potentiodynamic polarization curve. The results showed that LCFH exhibits excellent corrosion inhibition performance in HCl solution. The inhibition efficiency increases with the increase of inhibitor concentration. When the concentration of LCFH is 40 mg/L, the inhibition efficiency can reach 97.9%. The potentiodynamic polarization curve shows that LCFH is a corrosion inhibitor that mainly inhibits the cathodic reaction. The corrosion inhibitor is spontaneously adsorbed on the surface of low-carbon steel in physical form, which conforms to the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model.","PeriodicalId":20324,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Chemical Technology","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141611441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In non-aqueous media, it can be successfully produced via lipase catalysis. This study focuses on the lipase-catalyzed trans-esterification of citronellol alcohol with geranyl acetate ester in a non-aqueous medium to produce citronellyl acetate. For the synthesis of citronellyl acetate, crude acetone powders isolated from several plant seedlings of black cumin, fenugreek, coriander, flax, and rape seed were examined for lipase activity. Black cumin seedling lipase had the highest level of citronella acetate production with a yield of 76.32% in 72 h of reaction time. To assess the impact of different reaction parameters on citronellyl acetate production in organic solvents, hexane was chosen as the best solvent, and black cumin seedling lipase was selected as the best biocatalyst. The highest conversion yield of ester (76.32%) was found when 0.25 M of geraniol acetate and 0.25 M of citronellol reacted at 41 <jats:sup>o</jats:sup>C after 72 h in the presence of 0.25 g of seedling lipase enzyme in n-hexane.

The ecosystem and human health suffered greatly from the adverse effects of these pollutants. The disposal of these pollutants has become an urgent issue for the human society. Graphene oxide base nanocomposites have generated an excellent extent of focus as desirable alternatives for the adsorptive elimination of contaminants from aqueous systems owing to their enhanced surface area and multiple functional groups for adsorption. Graphene oxide (GO) as a graphene derivative exhibited superior features as obtainable in a graphene sheet. Moreover, the addition of oxygen functional group at the edges and basal plane of graphene further enhanced the efficiency of the graphene by providing sites for the attachment of different metals on the surface. On the underlying adsorption processes, graphene-based nanocomposites for specific contaminants are designed and currently employed for wastewater treatment. This review presents the ongoing development of GO base nanocomposites and their useful applications, understanding how well graphene-based nanocomposites adsorb pollutants and how that relates to the ways in which pollutants interact with adsorbents is crucial. This study highlights newly developed trends in the creation of graphene oxide based nanocomposites to eliminate different heavy metal ions, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and oils spills from effluent water. The focus is on various graphene oxides nanocomposites application for the removal of different pollutants and regeneration of graphene oxide base nanocomposites after several adsorption cycles. Other challenges and potential directions for designing efficient GO based nanocomposites as adsorbents are also presented along with the problems of current studies.","PeriodicalId":20324,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Chemical Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140577307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
