A green route to the synthesis of highly porous activated carbon from walnut shells for mercury removal by Albatrni, Hania

“…The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of several factors including mass dosage, pH, initial concentration of mercury, temperature, and contact time, on the efficiency of mercury removal. It was observed that the adsorption process exhibited spontaneity, endothermicity, and an increase in entropy. …”

HBN Nanoparticle-Assisted Rapid Thermal Cycling for the Detection of Acanthamoeba by Rasheed, Abdul Khaliq

“…As low as 1 X 10¯⁴ wt % was determined as the optimum concentration of hBN nanoparticles, which increased Acanthamoeba DNA yield up to ~16%. Further, it was able to reduce PCR temperature that led to a ~2.0-fold increase in Acanthamoeba DNA yield at an improved PCR specificity at 46.2 °C low annealing temperature. hBN nanoparticles further reduced standard PCR step time by 10 min and cycles by eight; thus, enhancing Acanthamoeba detection rapidly. …”
