Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleKMnO4 Modified Carbon Prepared from Waste of Pineapple Leaf Fiber Production Processing for Removal of Ferric Ion from Aqueous SolutionSumrit Mopoung, Thaksaphon BuntermKMnO4 modified carbon materials from waste of pineapple leaf fiber production processing were prepared and characterized. The effects of % weight of KMnO4 (0-5 %wt) and carbonization temperature (500-700°C) were studied by SEM-EDS, XRD, FTIR and BET. The KMnO4 modified waste carbon was used for Fe3+ removal from aqueous solutions. The effects of KMnO4 modification, contact time, pH and loading … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 25 Jun 2016 · 7,687 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiotechnological Approaches for Production of High Value Compounds from Bread WasteSaima Haroon, Anu Vinthan, Leonardo Negron et al.A growing global population has led to an increasing demand for food processing industries and consequently the generation of large amounts of food waste. This problem has intensified due to slow progress in the development of effective waste treatment and disposal strategies. Food waste such as bread waste is a reservoir of complex carbohydrates, proteins and lipids which have the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 14 Jun 2016 · 8,200 accessesView PDFCite
