To fill the gaps in previous research, a design study involving conventional (comparative kinetic, thermodynamic and equilibrium) and \"One-Variable-At-a-Time\" (OVAT) experimental approaches integrated with \"Design of Experiments\" (DoE) methodology was carried out. The integrated experimental design is implemented in the phosphate sorption process optimization to evaluate significant factors (optimal sorption conditions), and their influence on the response (sorption efficiency), and to predict the maximum sorbent capacity in accordance with the sorption mechanism. The critical factors of the sorption process were determined through the OVAT method. The evaluation of factors' interactive effects was realized using a central composite design (CCD) method within response surface methodology (RSM). A statistical software (JMP Pro16) was applied for planning the experiments , data processing and statistical analysis of the obtained results, which randomly generated a CCD matrix with 4 factors (initial concentration-C o , pH value, temperature-T, time-t) on three levels (-1, 0, +1). The derived second-order polynomial model of phosphate sorption proved to be highly significant (p<0.0001). A statistically significant factor interaction is between the pH value and the initial concentration of phosphate ions. The experimental maximum sorption capacity (17.48 mg/g), very close to the predicted value (17.58 mg/g), indicated the capability and applicability of the regression model. The model finds a potential application in the optimization of the phosphate-contaminated wastewater treatment processes using the environmentally friendly cationic bottle gourd shell.","PeriodicalId":7216,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Technologies","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78794515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work aimed to characterize and implement strawberry pomace oil in the biodiesel industry. Oil was extracted from the strawberry seed by a maceration method for physicochemical characterization. Two seed/solvent ratios were used to achieve the maximum oil yield. The yield of strawberry seed oil by n-hexane extraction at the seed/solvent ratio of 1:3 was 0.11 g/g. Extracted strawberry oil was used for biodiesel production by a two-step process that included the acid (H 2 SO 4)-catalyzed pre-esterification of strawberry oil, followed by the base (KOH)-catalyzed transesterification of the pre-esterified strawberry oil. Further, the methanolysis ensured a biodiesel content of 97.2% in 30 min. However, the low yield of this technology's final product and physicochemical characterization showed that strawberry oil should be used in a mixture with other oils (hybrid oil) for biodiesel production, or in the cosmetics and food industry.","PeriodicalId":7216,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Technologies","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87277760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates the presence of the graphitic structures. The electron spin resonance (ESR) shows a high concentration of polyaromatic paramagnetic structures (PPS; 4.5×10 19 spins g-1). The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) reveal that the Vrška Čuka kerogen contains predominantly aromatic/polyaromatic structures. Analysis of the aromatic area shows both the absence of aromatic substituents and the presence of aromatic polycondensation (average 3-4 rings; ≥17 carbon atoms). The spectrum also shows considerably reduced absorptions corresponding to the presence of aliphatic groups. Most of the aliphatic carbon is present as CH 3 (probably in short alkyl chains-methyl/methylene attached to polyaromatic structures) as indicated by the CH 3 /CH 2 value 0.7 of the appropriate absorptions. It was suggested that polyaromatic structures were formed by poly-condensation of aromatics during kerogen maturation. Low atomic values of H/C and O/C (0.45 and 0.07) indicate a high degree of genesis (metagenesis). The result of these analyzes are in agreement with each other and show that the maturation of this kerogen led to the formation of polyaromatic structures from aromatic.","PeriodicalId":7216,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Technologies","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82715597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Men's socks made in a 3:1 rib construction from three types of basic yarns (77%) were used: bamboo, cotton, and a cotton/polyester blend. The remaining composition of the socks is identical: filament polyamide yarn (22%) and wrapped rubber thread (1%) for the welt. The influence of climate factors artificially created in the climate chamber was analyzed by measuring three physiological parameters: skin temperature, relative humidity of the skin, and microclimate in the space between the sock and the shoe on both feet. The research results show that the raw material composition of the base yarn used in the manufacture of men's socks has a significant impact on thermo-physiological comfort when wearing socks. Under artificially created conditions in the climate chamber, an ambient temperature of 20 °C and relative humidity of 50% (autumn and spring conditions), socks with basic yarn made of a cotton/polyester blend are preferred, then with a base yarn made of cotton, and finally socks with a base yarn made of bamboo.

Specific physicochemical characteristics of chars allow for the effective removal of a wide range of water contaminants, including emerging contaminants (e.g. pharmaceutically active compounds, agro-chemicals, and endocrine disrupting compounds). BC and HC can be synthesized from different biomass sources, even from biowaste, which makes them low-cost materials. In fact, the application of waste biomass for char production can be designated as a promising way towards achieving sustainable development goals concerning solid waste management. The selection of feedstock material and optimization of the reaction conditions of the carbonization process (pyrolysis, hydro-thermal carbonisation, etc.) influence the performances of char-based materials leading to the products with desired characteristics suitable for the removal of a certain group of compounds. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of the current status of research regarding the use of BC and HC as adsorbents in the removal of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) from wastewater.

The methods described in the pharmacopoeia were used for the examination. Based on the values of bulk density and tapped density, the volume of the device is planned, ie. the size of the batch for extraction or distillation. These parameters were shown to have lower values for flower, leaf and herb, and higher values for fruit and root. Also, the compressibility index depends on the degree of fragmentation and the Hausner ratio. The results showed that these parameters have lower values for fruit and root. Solvent absorption power is the volume of solvent absorbed by a certain amount of herbal drug. Two solvents with differences in concentration were used: ethanol (aqueous solution: 96 vol.%, 70 vol.% and 50 vol.%) and distilled water. At the end of the technological process, a part of the solvent/ extract can be extracted from the spent plant material by pressing or vacuum filtration. The other part is difficult to get rid of the spent plant material and is irreversibly thrown away. In all tested herbal drugs, it is noticeable that the solvent absorption power increases with the increasing polarity of the solvent. Also, the less polar solvent EtOH 96% is more selective in terms of plant part.
