Abstract A novel and sustainable tandem‐catalysis system for asymmetric synthesis is disclosed, which fabricated by bio‐inspired self‐assembly of artificial arthropod exoskeletons (AAE s) or fungi cell walls ( AFCW containing two different types catalysts (enzyme metal nanoparticles). The heterogeneous integrated enzyme/metal nanoparticle AAE / systems, contain chitosan as the main structural c...

Biochar application can influence soil nitrogen (N) cycle through biological and abiotic processes. However, studies on comprehensive examination of the effects biochar microbially mediated N-cycling processes (N mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, fixation) N fate (i.e., plant uptake, N2O emission, leaching) are warranted. Therefore, aim this study was to examine transformation, mi...

One concern for recycle and reuse of scrap tires is the leaching of tire constituents (organic and inorganic) with time, and their subsequent potential harmful impacts in environment. The main objective of this study was to examine the leaching of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved nitrogen (DN), and selected inorganic constituents from scrap tires. Different sizes of tire chips and crum...

Urea hydrolysis is widely used in agriculture, environment and other engineering fields, among which urease contained beans can catalyze urea hydrolysis. The activity of legume plant leaching solution (LPLS) was investigated, including soybeans, black beans, mung red as well soybean hulls, leaves, stems pods. For the high economic efficiency, most suitable for agricultural fields than soybean-r...

The leaching reaction kinetics of weathered crust elution-deposited rare earth with mixed ammonium salts was studied. The in uence of concentration of reagents and particle size of ore on leaching rate was investigated. The results showed that the di usion process and leaching rate could be improved by increasing reagents concentration and decreasing leaching owing rate and particle size. The l...

Quasi-dynamic leaching characteristics of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) from raw and solidified air pollution control (APC) residues were examined via a nine-time multiple leaching test. The effect of injected activated carbon in the APC residues on the PCDD/F leachability was also evaluated. When humic acid solution was used as a leachant, the leaching concentra...

In this study various leaching technologies were applied to extract heavy metals from sludge from the printed circuit board process. These methods included traditional acid extraction (TAE) and microwave assisted treatment (MAT). The target heavy metal was copper. Experiments were performed to determine the acid the leaching efficiency by changing operating conditions, including acid type and c...

A novel energy-saving hydrometallurgical recovery process for copper from electronic scrap employing the Cu(I)-ammine complex has been presented on the basis of a thermodynamic consideration. In order to experimentally explore the feasibility of the leaching stage in this process, the copper leaching behavior from a printed circuit board (PCB) in ammoniacal alkaline solutions has been investiga...

Remediation of heavy metal polluted sediment by extracting the metals with sulfuric acid can be performed as follows: abiotic suspension leaching, microbial suspension leaching, abiotic solid-bed leaching, and microbial solid-bed leaching. Abiotic leaching means that the acid is directly added, while microbial leaching means that the acid is generated from sulfur by microbes (bioleaching). Thes...
