Abstract: This study aimed to model and optimize the design of a ceramic water filter using an experimental design approach. The ceramic filter was fabricated from raw clay sourced from the Sè region, while rice husk and sawdust, served as the pore-forming material. The optimization process began with a screening of 11 factors using a screening design, follo... Show More

Abstract: The effectiveness of electrochemical techniques in preventing and resolving wastewater contamination issues has been demonstrated. However, this method requires knowledge of the organic pollutant's (Oxacillin: OXA) electrochemical behavior before electrolysis. The aim of this study is to enhance comprehension of the electrochemical process of oxaci... Show More

Abstract: Recycling Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by hydrolysis using excess citric acid molecules as catalysts to generate H⁺ protonic acid sites had been undertaken. The products of this recycling process are PolyEster Citric Acid (PEAc), formed by the polyesterification of two citric acid molecules, Ethane Diol (ED) or ethylene glycol, and a new solid ...
