Modelling extraction kinetics of betalains from freeze dried beetroot powder into aqueous ethanol solutions

Rahul Kumar et al.

Summary: The extraction kinetics of betalains from freeze dried beetroot powder into aqueous ethanol solutions is modeled, considering the balance between release from the solid phase and chemical degradation in the extract phase. The obtained mathematical model shows that the concentration of betalains initially peaks and then decreases with time. Experimental validation of the model is conducted for different temperature, ethanol concentration, and particle size combinations. The ratio of betacyanin to betaxanthin is approximately 1 at lower temperatures but decreases at higher temperatures.

Pyrolysis kinetics of the hydrothermal carbons derived from microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization of food waste digestate

Xiaodi Xie et al.

Summary: This study investigates a strategy combining microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization (MHTC) pretreatment with subsequent pyrolysis for the treatment of food waste digestate (FWD). The MHTC pretreatment effectively converts FWD to hydrothermal carbons (HCs) and improves their fuel properties. Thermal decomposition experiments reveal that the pyrolysis behavior of FWD-derived HCs is similar to that of platform biomass. Kinetic analysis determines the activation energy and reaction mechanism for the pyrolysis of FWD and HCs.

Screening of ionic liquids as sustainable greener solvents for the capture of greenhouse gases using COSMO-RS approach: Computational study

Nazrul Islam et al.

Summary: With the growth of the world's population, urbanization, and industrialization, the production of greenhouse gases has also increased. It is necessary to capture these gases to reduce their levels in the atmosphere due to their harmful impact on the environment and livelihoods. Conventional solvents for capturing greenhouse gases are toxic, expensive, and generate additional waste. Ionic liquids (ILs) provide a sustainable alternative as green solvents due to their excellent properties. However, screening millions of ILs is time-consuming and inconvenient. This study used the COSMO-RS technique to pre-screen 720 ILs combinations and identified suitable cations and anions for capturing greenhouse gases.
