Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials have been reported that can be efficiently applied for biomass upgrading, however, their utilization on real wood degradation is limited. In this study, Zr- and Cu-ion contained MOF-818 materials were modified by microwave heating to decrease their crystallinity and particle size, consequently, increasing the...

Fluctuating essential oil prices are still a problem today. Citronella and patchouli are the leading commodities of essential oils in West Sumatra. Extraction of essential oils usually uses traditional methods, but this method has disadvantages such as long extraction time, large energy consumption, and low yield. One innovative solution to overcom...

Tea waste powder (TWP) is one of the potential biomass waste to recover valuable chemicals and materials. The prime objective of this work is to investigate the role of acid pretreatment on TWP. Diluted acids (HCl, H3PO4, CH3COOH, and H2SO4) were used to soak the TWP to understand the role of acids on bond cleavage and chemicals formation. One gram...
The emergence of bio-based carbonaceous materials for various applications has attracted significant attention during the last few years. Here, we report a rapid, efficient, and reproducible microwave-assisted synthesis of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with identical features irrespective of the nature of biomass waste investigated. The synthesized ...
Glycoamphiphiles have attracted considerable interest in a broad range of application fields owing to their solution and bulk-state self-assembly abilities. Despite their importance, the straightforward synthesis of glycoamphiphiles consisting of a hydrophilic carbohydrate linked to a hydrophobic aglycone remains one of the major challenges in glyc...

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by a different of fungi. Among these toxins, the most common in animal feed and human food is aflatoxin, which poses a threat to human health, causing cancer. Our study aims to find a way to reduce mycotoxin in some crop using ozone (O3), ultraviolet (U.V.) radiation, and microwave radiation. The result...
The demulsification by microwaves of liquid-liquid systems for metal recycling was experimentally andnumerically investigated. Strongly ionic aqueous phases with high conductivities and typical organic phases,both representative of industrial ones, were used. Experimental microwave demulsification was achieved in boththe W/O and O/W systems at the ...

In this study, Apple Juice was extracted from previously green apple fruits, neutralized by blanching using a microwave oven, before the extracted juice was fermentation at a temperature of (4)°C for a period of (30) days, and compared with the juice of untreated fruits (a comparison sample). PPO (Polyphenol oxidase) in Apple fruits with the treatm...
In this work, I address the challenge of controlling quantum computers and simulators based onultra-cold Rydberg atom architectures. Two hardware designs are explored: single atoms and smallatomic ensembles, utilizing Potassium-39 (39K). I detail quantum gate protocols, including a newone for dipolar Rydberg interaction. Experimental methods for pr...
The quinazoline heterocycle, as a pharmacophore, is significant in recent anticancer drug discovery and in natural products containing the piperazino[2,1-b]quinazolin-3,6-dione core. Compounds like anacine and its derivatives, found in marine Sponge-derived Penicillium species, show promising biological activities. However, their synthesis presents...
