3D scaffolds based on aminolyzed poly(l-lactide) single crystals have suitable hydrophilicity and cytocompatibility toward fibroblast cell growth and adhesion.
The heterogeneous photocatalytic
desulfurization processes have been paid wide attention due to their
effectiveness in removing the condensed organo-sulfur compounds. Such
methods may gain greater consideration via utilizing the visible light
in general and sun spectrum in particular. This research work aims
to produce low sulfur diesel fuel through a catalyzed photochemical
route using nanoparticles of CdO under the visible-light irradiation.
Two various structures of CdO were prepared in this study by both
the chemical precipitation and autoignition techniques. The structural
and morphological characteristics of the obtained cadmium oxides were
determined via different tools of analyzes. The production of a low
sulfur diesel fuel was then investigated under various operating parameters,
such as type of light source, catalyst-to-feed dosage, and reaction
time. The effect of adding oxidizing agents at different concentrations
on the desulfurization process was also studied. After the maximum
sulfur removal had been detected under the optimum conditions, the
ultimate removal of sulfur was attained through a subsequent solvent
extraction step. A diesel fuel with a sulfur content of 45 ppm was
acquired at the end of this research study. A total sulfur removal
of 99.6 wt % was obtained because the original diesel fuel feedstock
has an overall concentration of the sulfur compounds of 11 500
ppm.
