Comparison of Percentage Reduction of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon on Treatment Using Bryophylum pinnatum Leaf: The Concept of Alcohol and Water as Solvent for Constituents Extraction
Abstract: Investigation on the comparison of percentage reduction of total petroleum hydrocarbon on treatment using Bryophylum pinnatum leaf was indeed, considered by using the concept of alcohol and water as solvent for constituents’ extraction. The extracts were introduced into the various bioreactors set-up and the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration monitored with increase in contact period. The investigation revealed decreased in TPH concentration with increased in the percentage reduction of the …

Study on Extraction and Purification of Phytochemicals from Eichhornia Crassipes Leaves
Abstract: Eichhornia crassipes is an aquatic plant that belongs to Pontederiaceae family. It is commonly known as water hyacinth. This annoying plant has been a recurring issue that should have been managed. In comparison to other natural plants and fibers, the seeds of these plants may survive up to 28 years at the water’s surface and have developed extremely quick growth properties. The water hyacinth is regarded as the world’s most …

Comparative Analysis of Dip and Spray Techniques with Ethanol, Polyvinyl Alcohol, and Acetone Hydrophobic Glass Slides with Al2O3 Coating
Abstract: The hydrophobic effects of Al₂O₃ coatings on glass slides are investigated in this work by comparing dip and spray procedures using three distinct solvents: acetone, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and ethanol. Using both dip and spray techniques, the experimental design systematically applies Al₂O₃ coatings on glass slides. Then, the effect of the chosen solvents on hydrophobicity is investigated. Delineating the complex interaction between coating processes and solvent options requires careful analysis …
