Shape memory alloys take place in a class of advanced smart materials by exhibiting dual memory characteristics shape memory effect. And superelasticity with recoverability of two shapes at different conditions. Shape memory effect is initiated with thermomechanical processes on [....] » Read More
The nano-structured ferrites are known as gas sensing materials due to their reduced particle size, porosity, high surface-to-volume ratio, and conductivity. Spinel ferrites are metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) based sensors that exhibit a significant variation in the electrical r [....] » Read More
Finding alternative powerful antibacterial drugs of natural origins is, today, a crucial prerequisite due to the resistance of some bacterial strains to commercial and widely-used medications. Algae are characterized by their bioactive constituents and have a wide spectrum of bio [....] » Read More
Background: The contamination of agricultural soils with lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) represents a significant environmental and food safety concern. These toxic metals can be transferred from soil to edible plants, enter the food chain, and adversely affect human health. This stud [....] » Read More
Title : Hydrocracking theory and technology
Orchidea Maria Lecian, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy
I develop a the mathematical framework for the catalytic hydrocracking of heavy materials, targeting vacuum residues sourced from petroleum and coal origins. The systematic valorization of these complicated heavy fractions revolves around essential industrial chemical goals, [....] » Read More
Title : Molecularly defined chemosensors for detection, quantification, and discrimination of Zn2+ and Cd2+, Fe2+ and Hg2+ in freshwater samples
Olena V Zenkina, Ontario Tech University, Canada
Our research group has been developing molecular chemosensors for metal-ion detection and remediation for over 12 years. Our previous work established effective molecular systems for the colorimetric detection of Fe²⁺ in water and the detection and removal of Hg²⁺ f [....] » Read More
Title : Greener chemistry for a sustainable future: Transforming chemistry education through systems thinking
Anne Marteel Parrish, Washington College, United States
How can chemistry education prepare students to address complex sustainability challenges that cannot be solved within disciplinary boundaries? This presentation describes the redesign of Greener Chemistry for a Sustainable Future, an undergraduate elective that evolved over two [....] » Read More
Title : Wastewater sludge as a resource: Methane production and digestate valorization through anaerobic digestion
Oumaima Cherradi, University Mohammed VI Polytechnic, Morocco
Anaerobic digestion represents a promising waste-to-energy strategy for wastewater sludge management, enabling renewable energy recovery through methane production while generating a nutrient-rich digestate that can be valorized in agriculture. This dual valorization pathway offe [....] » Read More
Title : Waste-derived eggshell-based catalysts for sustainable valorization of tamarind seed waste into value-added bio-oil
Rudra Sarkar, Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy, India
The valorization of agro-industrial residues into value-added chemicals represents a sustainable approach to resource utilization and supports the transition toward a circular bioeconomy. In the present study, tamarind seed waste, an underutilized lignocellulosic biomass, was inv [....] » Read More
Title : General aqueous synthetic strategy towards 1-benzylTHIQs enabled by umpolung hydrazone
Manpreet Kaur, McGill university, Canada
1-Benzyl tetrahydroisoquinolines (1-benzylTHIQs) are important structural motifs found in numerous bioactive natural products and pharmaceutical compounds. Despite their significance, conventional approaches to these compounds often rely on prefunctionalized starting materials, h [....] » Read More
