Evaluation of Kinetic Parameters of Total PetroleumHydrocarbon Degradation Using Grape Leaf as Nutrientto Catalyze the Reaction
Abstract: The outcomes of the research are to determine and evaluate the kinetic parameters of total petroleum hydrocarbon degradation using grape leaf as nutrient to catalyze the reaction. The application of the Michaelis–Menten model equation in combination with the Lineweaver–Burk Plot theoretical conceptual techniques was adopted in handling the computation of the functional parameters and coefficients of the system. The impact of bio-remediant dosage was monitored, and the kinetic parameters were …

Overview of Influence of Biomass Pretreatment: Hydrolyzed vs Unhydrolyzed on BioH2 Yield
Abstract: Infact, overview on the potential of the hydrolyzed and unhydrolyzed biodigester system to produce biohydrogen (BioH2) gas using wood saw dust material obtained from Nigeria was examined with respect to the influence of the biomass build-up as well as related to the pretreatment property. The production of hydrogen gas was influenced by the pH and particle size of the wood saw dust and both the hydrolyzed and unhydrolyzed biodigester yielded …

Evaluation of Coconut Coir Feasibility as Fluid Loss Control Material in Comparison with Commonly Used NUTPLUG
Abstract: This work centers on decreasing drilling fluid loss circulation by using coconut coir as a loss circulation material. Millions of dollars are invested yearly to counteract lost circulation and its consequences, including clogged pipes, blowouts, and abandoned wells. Drilling mud was formulated with varied percentages of coconut coir and nut plugs, which were utilized as loss circulation materials to minimize or decrease drilling fluid loss. The two materials being compared …

Sonochemical Synthesis of Copper Nanoparticles:Process Fundamentals, Scale-Up Challenges, andIndustrial Opportunities
Abstract: The sonochemical synthesis of copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) has emerged as a powerful and widely investigated strategy in nanomaterials research, owing to the unique physicochemical conditions generated during ultrasonic irradiation. Acoustic cavitation induced by sonication produces transient microenvironments characterized by extremely high local temperatures, pressures, and rapid cooling rates, which collectively enable efficient reduction of copper precursors into nanoscale particles. These conditions cannot be easily achieved through conventional synthetic routes, …

Smart Wastewater Treatment Plant Modeling Using ANN And ASM1 MATLAB Simulation
Abstract: Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are necessary infrastructure for protecting the environment and public health, but modeling and predicting performance has been an ongoing challenge for engineers working within a WWTP and regulators of the environment. For many years the Activated Sludge Model No. 1 (ASM1) has been the standard for simulating biological treatment processes, but the conventional implementations in MATLAB do not provide the user-friendly interface, the predictive intelligence, or …
