Abstract The assessment of the comparative effect of biosal (phytopesticide), deltamethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin (pyrethroids) were made against two fodder pests, Hermolaus modestus and Hermolaus ocimumi by filter paper impregnation method. The activity of total protein contents, GPT (glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) and GOT (glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase) were affected in Hermolaus modestus and Hermolaus ocimumi against biosal, deltamethrin, and lambda cyhalothrin. The activity of total protein contents in H. modestus was 31.053%, 4.607%, and 24.575%, against biosal, deltamethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin, respectively. The activity of total protein contents was observed as 24.202%, 15.25%, and 56.036% against deltamethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, and biosal, respectively in H. ocimumi. The activity of GOT was observed as 98.675% for biosal 33.95% for deltamethrin and 83.619% for lambda-cyhalothrin in H. modestus. The GOT activity was estimated in H. ocimumi as 78.831%, 47.645%, and 71.287% against biosal, deltamethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin, respectively. The efficacy of GPT enzyme against biosal, deltamethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin was calculated as 89.26%, 73.07%, and 47.58%, respectively in H. modestus. The H. ocimumi showed GPT activity as 77.58% for biosal, 68.84% for deltamethrin, and 52.67% for lambda-cyhalothrin, respectively.

The fast depletion of fossil fuels has attracted researchers worldwide to explore alternative biofuels, such as biodiesel. In general, the production of biodiesel is carried out via transesterification processes of vegetable oil with the presence of a suitable catalyst. A mixed metal oxide has shown to be a very attractive heterogeneous catalyst with a high performance. Most of the mixed metal oxide is made by using the general wetness impregnation method. A simple route to synthesize silane-modified mixed metal oxide (CaO-CuO/C6) catalysts has been successfully developed. A fluorocarbon surfactant and triblock copolymers (EO)106(PO)70(EO)106 were used to prevent the crystal agglomeration of carbonate salts (CaCO3-CuCO3) as the precursor to form CaO-CuO with a definite size and morphology. The materials show high potency as a catalyst in the transesterification process to produce biodiesel. The calcined co-precipitation product has a high crystallinity form, as confirmed by the XRD analysis. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). The mechanism of surface modification and the effects of the catalytic activity were also discussed. The biodiesel purity of the final product was analyzed by gas chromatography. The optimum biodiesel yield was 90.17% using the modified mixed metal oxide CaO-CuO/C6.

Copper catalysts have been extensively studied for CO oxidation at low temperatures. Previous findings on the stability of such catalysts, on the other hand, revealed that they deactivated badly under extreme circumstances. Therefore, in this work, a series of KCC−1-supported copper oxide catalysts were successfully prepared by impregnation method, of which 5% CuO/KCC−1 exhibited the best activity: CO could be completely converted at 120 °C. The 5% CuO/KCC−1 catalyst exhibited better thermal stability, which is mainly attributed to the large specific surface area of KCC−1 that facilitates the high dispersion of CuO species, and because the dendritic layered walls can lengthen the movement distances from particle-to-particle, thus helping to slow down the tendency of active components to sinter. In addition, the 5% CuO/KCC−1 has abundant mesoporous and surface active oxygen species, which are beneficial to the mass transfer and promote the adsorption of CO and the decomposition of Cu+–CO species, thus improving the CO oxidation performance of the catalyst.

Biochar from spent malt rootlets was employed as the template to synthesize hybrid biochar-ceria materials through a wet impregnation method. The materials were tested for the activation of persulfate (SPS) and subsequent degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX), a representative antibiotic, in various matrices. Different calcination temperatures in the range 300–500 °C were employed and the resulting materials were characterized by means of N2 adsorption and potentiometric mass titration as well as TGA, XRD, SEM, FTIR, DRS, and Raman spectroscopy. Calcination temperature affects the biochar content and the physicochemical properties of the hybrid materials, which were tested for the degradation of 500 μg L−1 SMX with SPS (in the range 200–500 mg L−1) in various matrices including ultrapure water (UPW), bottled water, wastewater, and UPW spiked with bicarbonate, chloride, or humic acid. Materials calcined at 300–350 °C, with a surface area of ca. 120 m2 g−1, were the most active, yielding ca. 65% SMX degradation after 120 min of reaction in UPW; materials calcined at higher temperatures as well as bare biochar were less active. Degradation decreased with increasing matrix complexity due to the interactions amongst the surface, the contaminant, and the oxidant. Experiments in the presence of scavengers (i.e., methanol, t-butanol, and sodium azide) revealed that sulfate and hydroxyl radicals as well as singlet oxygen were the main oxidative species.

The effects of reaction temperature on the hydrocarbon composition of biofuel produced in hydrocracking of Cerbera manghas oil with Ni-Zn/HZSM-5 catalyst were investigated. The incipient wetness impregnation method was applied to prepare the Ni-Zn/HZSM-5 catalysts. Furthermore, the properties of catalysts were measured by X-ray diffraction, atomic absorption spectrometry, and nitrogen physisorption. Hydrocracking process was carried out in Parr USA pressure batch reactor at pressure of 20 � 5 bar after flowing H2 for 1 h. The reaction with a catalyst/oil ratio of 1 g/150 mL proceeded at various temperatures of 350, 375 and 400 �C for 2 h. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was�used to analyze biofuel. The most abundant hydrocarbon compounds in biofuel were identified as pentadecane and heptadecane (a major diesel fuel compound) with a different amount at different reaction temperatures. It can be said that the hydrodecarboxylation/decarbonylation routes were the predominant reaction pathways and oxygen removal occurred during hydrocracking. The Cerbera manghas oil can be recommended as a promising biofeed to produce the gasoil as an alternative transportation fuel.

In this study, a laccaic acid-modified TiO2 photocatalyst (Lac-TiO2) was prepared via an impregnation method with 0.50, 1.00, 2.50, and 5.00 wt.% laccaic acid. The products’ physical properties were examined through X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nitrogen adsorption/desorption, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. A possible photocatalytic mechanism was also proposed. XRD patterns revealed the anatase phase of TiO2 and Lac-TiO2 samples. High-magnification FE-SEM images showed that the TiO2 and Lac-TiO2 samples exhibited spherical-like structures. XPS results complementarily confirmed the presence of Ti, O, and C as the main elements of the Lac-TiO2 samples. Interestingly, the DRS spectra of the Lac-TiO2 samples extended into the visible region. FTIR spectra presented the characteristic bands of TiO2 and hydroxyl groups on the TiO2 surface. Instead of hydroxyl groups, the characteristic bands of laccaic acid were observed on the surface of the Lac-TiO2 samples. The photocatalytic properties of the Lac-TiO2 samples were evaluated in terms of methyl orange degradation under visible light irradiation. The Lac-TiO2 samples showed higher photocatalytic performance than the TiO2 sample.
