Hydrogen peroxide has been known for many decades and currently is one of the most important products of the chemical industry. Until recently, its use in the liquid state in rocket engines in space and defense has been limited due to storage and safety concerns. The latest research results made it possible to obtain hydrogen peroxide with higher purity and concentration as well as improved properties, safe and convenient in storage. As a result, hydrogen peroxide is widely considered for use in a wide range of rocket propulsion systems both as a bipropellant oxidizer and a monopropellant. As the size of the satellites being designed decreases, it is more and more difficult to select appropriate propulsion systems (PSs) ensuring required controllability and maneuverability. Currently, the smallest satellites (5–50 kg) usually use compressed gas. It is proposed to use hydrogen peroxide to improve efficiency, while reducing the cost compared to hydrazine PSs. As a monopropellant, hydrogen peroxide is characterized by high density (> 1,300 kg/m<sup>3</sup>) and specific impulse in vacuum of approx. 150 s (approx. 1,500 m/s). Its use in combination with hydrocarbons, pentaborane, and beryllium hydride is quite promising. The hydrogen peroxide/kerosene combination has particular advantages that make it convenient to use in rockets, especially when thrust control in a wide range is required. Its exceptional advantages are as follows: among various liquid fuel combinations, the hydrogen peroxide/kerosene combination is characterized by one of the highest fuel densities (approx. 1,270 kg/m<sup>3</sup>); besides, hydrogen peroxide tanks can be made of aluminum alloys, which significantly reduces their weight. Hydrogen peroxide is quite easy to handle since, unlike other oxidizers, it does not emit toxic vapors when stored and does not release toxic substances after combustion. The maximum permissible concentration of hydrogen peroxide vapors in the air of the working area is 0.3 mg/m<sup>3</sup>. Hazard class—2 according to GOST 12.1.007. From an environmental perspective, this fuel combination is comparable to the liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen fuel. The need to install control engines for small satellites (e.g. Cubesat) is currently becoming a pressing issue. The use of neutral gases as a working fluid for control systems in such cases cannot compete with the use of, for example, hydrogen peroxide. At the same time, the creation of electric engines for small satellites is limited by the low available electrical power.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":458,"journal":{"name":"Adsorption","volume":"30 8","pages":"2187 - 2217"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595969","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 aftereffects range from fish migration and death to altered behaviour and reproduction in marine species, plankton pollution, fish migration, ecosystem harm, and economic loss. These give long term hazardous effect for ecosystem balance. Bio-based adsorbents such as biochar can be an alternative that environmentally friendly to replace chemical sorbents that till date effective to adsorb oil spills. However, its small particle size complicates at the time of separation. Adding magnetic properties to biochar is important to make it easy to separate and reuse so that its sustainability can be achieved. This study investigated the synthesization and performance of magnetic biochar to remove oil spills. Using the hydrothermal process at 200°C, it also involves the synthesis of magnetic biochar from agricultural waste, specifically rice husks. Because it can be done at low temperatures—between 180° and 250°C—hydrothermal carbonization is thought to be a cost-effective technique of producing biochar. The presence of FeO on the samples, as shown by FTIR, further supports the SEM-EDX study results showing the presence of Fe elements in magnetic biochar.

Successful creation of eco-friendly adsorbents, from natural biomaterials like plant-derived fibers, biopolymers, and biofunctionalized surfaces, has efficiently eliminated metallic contaminants from wastewater.
