TL;DR: In this article, superhydrophobic and transparent zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited by a simple and cost effective spray pyrolysis technique (SPT) onto the glass substrates at 723 K from an aqueous zinc acetate precursor solution and its effect on structural, morphological, wetting and optical properties of ZnO thin films was studied.

••
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-step acid-base catalyzed sol-gel process with a novel precursor, methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), followed by supercritical drying was used for the synthesis and characterization of flexible and super-hydrophobic silica aerogels.

TL;DR: It is observed from FTIR for aerogels that increase in concentration of silylating reagent resulted increase in hydrophobicity, which leads to increase in contact angle for water from 123° to 155° but leads to decrease in surface free energy from 5.5892 to 0.3073 mJ/m(2).

TL;DR: Toxicity studies with a plant bioassay and acute tests indicated that the PUF-immobilized microbial consortium favors detoxification of the dye and textile effluents.
Abstract: A microbial consortium that is able to grow in wheat bran (WB) medium and decolorize the carcinogenic azo dye Congo red (CR) was developed. The microbial consortium was immobilized on polyurethane foam (PUF). Batch studies with the PUF-immobilized microbial consortium showed complete removal of CR dye (100 mg·L−1) within 12 h at pH 7.5 and temperature 30 ± 0.2 °C under microaerophilic conditions. Additionally, 92% American Dye Manufactureing Institute (ADMI) removal for real textile effluent (RTE, 50%) was also observed within 20 h under the same conditions. An upflow column reactor containing PUF-immobilized microbial consortium achieved 99% CR dye (100 mg·L−1) and 92% ADMI removal of RTE (50%) at 35 and 20 mL·h−l flow rates, respectively. Consequent reduction in TOC (83 and 79%), COD (85 and 83%) and BOD (79 and 78%) of CR dye and RTE were also observed, which suggested mineralization. The decolorization process was traced to be enzymatic as treated samples showed significant induction of oxidoreductive enzymes. The proposed biodegradation pathway of the dye revealed the formation of lower molecular weight compounds. Toxicity studies with a plant bioassay and acute tests indicated that the PUF-immobilized microbial consortium favors detoxification of the dye and textile effluents.
