High-Rate Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Activated Sludge by Integration of Electro-Fenton Process by Feki, Emna

“…Following EF pretreatment, the pH, conductivity, soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), and volatile fatty acids (VFA) increased to 7.5, 13.72 mS/cm, 4.1 g/L, and 925 mg/L, respectively. Capillary suction time (CST) analysis highlighted the dewaterability effect of EF on WAS, as demonstrated by the decrease in CST from 429 to 180 s following 30 min of pretreatment. …”

Hydropriming with moringa leaf extract mitigates salt stress in wheat seedlings by Ahmed, Talaat

“…Therefore, the current study was conducted to evaluate the hydropriming of natural plant extract (moringa leaf extract) and water on wheat seeds and grown under different saline (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 M NaCl) environments. The germination attributes (germination percentage, germination index, mean germination day, coefficient of variance, vigor index) and seedling growth (fresh weight, dry weight, root length, shoot length) were enhanced in the plants primed by moringa leaf extract. …”

Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO2 reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts by Sun Hee, Yoon

“…This study presents theoretical insight into the mechanism of the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to formic acid (HCOOH) on Bi (012) surfaces in the presence of alkali metal cations (M+: Cs+, K+, and Li+) and/or halide anions (X−: Cl−, Br−, and I−) using density functional theory (DFT). The adsorption energy (Eads) and work function (Wf) of the anions increases with decreasing anion size (i.e., Cl− > Br− > I−). …”
