    Synthesis and Evaluation of MgO-Supported Activated Carbon for Carbon dioxide Capture

    Abstract: Carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture has emerged as a critical strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and addressing global climate change. In this study, a series of MgO-supported activated carbon adsorbents containing 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 wt% MgO were successfully synthesized using the impregnation method to evaluate their CO₂ adsorption performance. The structural, chemical, and surface properties of the prepared materials were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier-transform …

    Advances in Photocatalytic Catalysts for Wastewater Treatment

    Abstract: Water is a fundamental component of the life support system and is indispensable for the survival of all living organisms. Life cannot exist without water, and human societies depend on it for drinking, agriculture, industry, and sanitation. Water resources are increasingly under pressure in terms of both quality and availability, largely due to rapid industrial development, expanding urban areas, and rising population levels. These human-driven activities have played a major …

    Solid Acid Catalysts for the Selective Conversion of Biomass to Levulinic Acid

    Abstract: Levulinic acid (LA) has emerged as a versatile platform chemical with significant potential for producing renewable fuels like gamma-valerolactone (GVL), biodegradable polymers, and fine chemicals from biomass (both terrestrial and marine which ae rich in carbohydrate). The selective conversion of biomass-derived carbohydrates to LA requires efficient catalytic systems that can overcome the recalcitrance of the biomass, namely the stiff-necked structural integrity of cellulose and the kind of strong interactions between …

    Catalyst-Driven Degradation and Failure Analysis of Intergranular Cracking in 316H Studded Pipes under Refinery Heat Recovery Conditions

    Abstract: A failure analysis investigation was carried out on a high-temperature studded pipe used in a convection module for heat recovery in an oil and gas refinery application after leakage was detected during pre-commissioning hydrotesting. The investigated pipe was manufactured from AISI 316H austenitic stainless steel, and carbon steel studs had been joined to its outer surface by high-frequency resistance welding. Two leaks were reported in the pipe under investigation, and …

    Role of Quantum Chemistry in Catalysis: A Comprehensive Review

    Abstract: Catalysis plays a crucial role in modern chemical manufacturing, energy conversion, and environmental protection by enabling chemical reactions to occur more rapidly, selectively, and with reduced energy consumption. A fundamental understanding of catalytic processes at the atomic and electronic levels is essential for the rational design and optimization of catalysts. Quantum chemistry has emerged as a powerful theoretical and computational framework that enables detailed investigation of electronic structure, reaction energetics, …

    Estimating Heavy Ion Concentrations in the Shatt AlKufa Area and Studying Methods for Recycling Wastewater

    Abstract: This study includes practical methods for treating chemical pollution in wastewater. The proper disposal of wastewater is essential for providing a healthy environment for communities, adhering to international standards and utilizing the latest chemical and scientific methods to maintain a surrounding environment free from sewage pollutants. The goal of wastewater treatment is to prepare it for discharge into agricultural drains or for use in irrigation. Treatment removes a large percentage …

    Selective Recovery of Valuable Chemicals from Tire Pyrolysis Oil: A Sustainable Approach

    Abstract: The generation of waste/scrap/end-of-life tires (ELTs) poses severe environmental challenges globally. For the disposal of huge numbers of ELTs (generated every year) using conventional recycling methods, like as landfill or incineration, are not preferred due to their adverse environmental impacts. To overcome this problem, an alternative and promising technology is developed -the pyrolysis of waste tires. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that decomposes organic materials (Rubber Hydrocarbons) in the absence …

    Selection of Ionic Liquids for the Design of Separation Processes of CO₂ + H₂S Mixed Waste Gases with Different Compositions

    Abstract: The waste gas from chemical plants contains H 2 S gas and a large amount of CO 2 gas. These flue gases can be treated in various ways, and in this paper, the mixed flue gas CO 2 +H 2 S was treated by using ionic liquids (IL) as an absorbent. Ionic liquids are considered green solvents with remarkable good properties. In particular, it is known as a very effective …
