TL;DR: The optimum condition was obtained by using temperature of 556 degrees C, activation time of 2.33 h and chemical impregnation ratio of 5.24, which resulted in 93.08% of color and 73.98% of COD.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of layering patterns on the mechanical performance of hybrid composites was studied and compared with the pure EFB, pure jute composites and neat epoxy using flexural and impact testing.
Abstract: Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB)/jute fibre reinforced epoxy hybrid composites with different sequence of fibre mat arrangement such as EFB/jute/EFB and jute/EFB/jute were fabricated by hand lay-up method. The effect of layering patterns on the mechanical performance of the composites was studied. The hybrid composites are intended for engineering applications as an alternative to synthetic fibre composites. Mechanical performance of hybrid composites were evaluated and compared with the pure EFB, pure jute composites and neat epoxy using flexural and impact testing. The flexural properties of hybrid composite is higher than that of pure EFB composite with respect to the weight fraction of fibre, where as the impact strength of pure EFB composite is much higher than those of hybrid composites. The flexural results were interpreted using sandwich theory. The fracture surface morphology of the impact testing samples of the hybrid composites was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

TL;DR: In this paper, widely accepted methods of hydrotalcite preparation such as co-precipitation, urea hydrolysis, hydrothermal, sol- gel, microwave irradiation, steam activation and solvothermal have been selected and reviewed.
Abstract: In this paper, widely accepted methods of hydrotalcite preparation such as co-precipitation, urea hydrolysis, hydrothermal, sol – gel, microwave irradiation, steam activation and solvothermal have been selected and reviewed. Our review indicates that the nature of the divalent cations, the synthesis method, the calcination temperature and the nature of the interlayer species are determinant factors in shaping the surface properties of the layered double hydoxides. The basic strength of the surface base site and structural changes produced in the mixed oxides can be adjusted conveniently by varying the Al content during the synthesis. The combination of sol – gel with microwave irradiation during the gelling and crystallization steps has also been found to increase the surface area of the hydrotalcite-like compound.

TL;DR: P pumpkin seed hull (PSH), an agricultural solid waste, is proposed as a novel material for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions and it is found that for a short time period the rate of adsorption is controlled by film diffusion, however, at longer Adsorption times, pore-diffusion controls the rates.
