Abstract:
... Methylene blue (MB) is categorized as an organic dye (OD) released as effluents after various industrial activities and is one of the most abundant pollutants in the aquatic environment. Significantly, because of its potential toxicity, removing MB from wastewater has been a matter of necessity in recent times. Numerous analytical techniques have been applied, among which polysaccharide-based comp ...

Abstract:
... In the present study, seaweed char-based catalyst was used for pyrolysis of waste clay oil to obtain high-grade biofuels. First, the biochar was activated at different temperatures of 600, 700, and 800 °C (Y600, Y700, and Y800, respectively). The specific surface area of seaweed char prepared by activation at 800 °C reached the maximum value (1227.74 m²/g), which was a good catalyst carrier. Then ...
