Controlling ZIF-67 film properties in water-based cathodic electrochemical deposition (2024)
The deposition of a film of porous materials such as Zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF) is a key method to enhance the surface area of a substrate. ZIF films have demonstrated remarkable capabilities due to their zeolite-like characteristics. In a recent study by Elsayed et al. (2024) published in the Journal of Solid State Chemistry, the team explored the precise control of ZIF-67 film properties through water-based cathodic electrochemical deposition. The research sheds light on the techniques, challenges, and outcomes of this novel approach, offering insights into optimizing film properties for various applications.
Development of heavy metal passivators in residue fluid catalytic cracking process (2022)
The growth of residual fluid catalytic cracking (RFCC) heavily relies on the advancement of heavy metal passivation technology. Residue fluid catalytic cracking processes often contain higher concentrations of heavy metals like Ni, V, and Fe compared to gas oils. Salahshour et al. (2022) delved into this pressing issue in their study published in the Journal of Composites and Compounds. By developing effective heavy metal passivators, the researchers aimed to address the challenges posed by these elements and enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the RFCC process, opening new avenues for future research and application.
Antimicrobial Activity of Lipopeptide Biosurfactants Against Foodborne Pathogen and Food Spoilage Microorganisms and Their Cytotoxicity (2021)
Lipopeptide biosurfactants produced by Bacillus sp. were investigated for their antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms in a study led by Kourmentza et al. (2021), published in Frontiers in Microbiology. The research highlighted the efficacy of these biosurfactants against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Additionally, the study evaluated the cytotoxicity of the lipopeptide biosurfactants, providing valuable insights into their potential applications in food safety and preservation. This work contributes to the growing body of knowledge on natural antimicrobial agents and their role in combating foodborne illnesses and spoilage.
