An efficient, scalable and sustainable method for the quantitative deprotection of the tert-butyl carbamate (N-Boc) protecting group is described, using down to near-stoichiometric amounts of hydrogen chloride gas in solvent-free conditions. We demonstrate the ex situ generation of hydrogen chloride gas from sodium chloride and sulfuric acid in a t...

Staphylococcus aureus is considered a priority pathogen due to its increasing acquisition of antibiotic resistance determinants. Additionally, this microbe has the ability to form recalcitrant biofilms on different biotic and inert surfaces. In this context, bacteriophages and their derived lytic proteins may be a forward-looking strategy to help c...
Nutrient enrichment in water bodies, and its detrimental consequences, are a well known and worldwide environmental problem. Agricultural activities are identified as an important source of diffuse losses of phosphate and nitrate because of the leaching out fertilizers from agricultural fields. This study encompasses the implementation of an end-of...

Silicon recovery from diamond wire saw silicon powder (DWSSP) waste is of great significance for increasing production profits and alleviating hazardous effects on the ecological environment. The purity of recovered silicon powder is determined by the purification efficiency during acid leaching pretreatment. Because the metallic impurities present...

Sustainable green energy technologies have paid much attention to the development of a solar-driven seawater desalination technique due to its ecofriendly and efficient desalination performance. We propose a novel hybrid hydrogel consisting of conducting polymer of polypyrrole (PPy) and polyvalent cations crosslinked alginate (Alg) with strong repu...
Supergravity technology is an efficient method for the separation of trace elements from Al-Mg alloys made of their scraps. This study investigated the enrichment and separation behavior of impurities from Al-Mg alloy using supergravity technology under various conditions. After supergravity enrichment, nonmetallic inclusions and precipitated inter...
