Demand for safe, environmentally friendly and minimally processed food additives with
intrinsic technological (stabilizing, texturizing, structuring) and functional potential is already …

Surface engineered magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) were synthesized by facile soft-
chemical approaches. XRD and TEM analyses reveal the formation of single-phase Fe3O4 …

The costs and life cycle impacts of microalgae harvesting for biofuel production were
investigated. Algae were grown in semi-continuous culture in pilot-scale photobioreactors …

High concentrations of arsenic in groundwater continue to present health threats to millions
of consumers worldwide. Particularly, affected communities in the developing world need …

Abstract Electrocoagulation-electroflotation (EC-EF) process assisted with the mucilage of
Opuntia ficus indica (OFI) plant was investigated in order to enhance copper removal …

Growing population, increased economic activity and industrialization has not only created
an increased demand for fresh water but also resulted in severe misuse of this natural …

ABSTRACT Opuntia ficus-indica:(OFI) cladode mucilage was extracted using conventional
extraction (CE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), to test its effect on the efficiency of …

The aim of this study is the optimization of the effect of Opuntia ficus indica (OFI) pad juice on
the electrocoagulation–electroflotation (EC–EF) water treatment process by response …

New methods to remediate arsenic-contaminated water continue to be studied, particularly
to fill the need for accessible methods that can significantly impact developing communities …

Mucilage fractions extracted from Opuntia ficus-indica cactus were captured in calcium
alginate biobeads. The beads were tested as eco-friendly adsorbents to remove arsenic (As) …
