Abstract
Cotton textiles modified with copper compounds have a documented mechanism of antimicrobial action against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was pronounced interest in finding new solutions for textile engineering, using modifiers and bioactive methods of functionalization, including introducing copper nanoparticles and complexes into textile products (e.g. masks, special clothing, surface coverings, or tents). However, copper can be toxic, depending on its form and concentration. Functionalized waste may present a risk to the environment if not managed correctly. Here, we present a model for managing copper-modified cotton textile waste. The process includes pressure and temperature-assisted hydrolysis and use of the hydrolysates as a source of sugars for cultivating yeast and lactic acid bacteria biomass as valuable chemical compounds.

Abstract
In the present work, for the first time, green chemically synthesized and stabilized Co3O4 nanoparticles were employed for catalytic conversion of isopropyl alcohol to acetone by dehydrogenation of IPA. Plant extract of Rosmarinus officinalis was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent for this synthesis. The biosynthesized Co3O4 nanoparticles were annealed at 450℃ followed by their physiochemical characterizations through XRD, SEM, AFM, and FTIR. Size distribution information collected through XRD and AFM back each other, and it was found to be 6.5 nm, having the highest number of nanoparticles in this size range. While SEM confirms the self-arranging property of synthesized nanoparticles due to their magnetic nature, furthermore, the biogenic Co3O4 nanoparticles were studied for their catalytic potential to convert isopropyl alcohol to acetone with the help of a UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The highest photocatalytic conversion of 99% was obtained in time period of 48 s. For the first time ever, nanoparticles were used for 5 cycles to evaluate their recyclable nature and conversion fell from 99 to 86% and the end of the 5th cycle. Later anti-bacterial activity against 3 Gram-positive and 3 Gram-negative strains gave the highest inhibition value of 99% against Streptococcus pneumoniae at 500 µg/mL. Finally, a cytotoxicity study on synthesized nanomaterials was carried out by exposing freshly drawn human macrophages to them. It was found that even at the highest concentration of 500 µg/mL, the nanoparticles showed only 28% lysis.

Acetone Prospect as an Additive to Allow the Use of Castor and Sunflower Oils as Drop-In Biofuels in Diesel/Acetone/Vegetable Oil Triple Blends for Application in Diesel Engines. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25122935. [PMID: 32630602 PMCID: PMC7356534 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25122935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2020] [Revised: 06/22/2020] [Accepted: 06/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
The present paper investigates the feasibility of using acetone (ACE) in triple blends with fossil diesel (D) and straight vegetable oils (SVOs) as alternative fuel for diesel engines. In this respect, ACE is selected as an oxygenated additivedue to its favorable propertiesto be mixed with vegetable oils and fossil diesel. In fact, the very low kinematic viscosity allows reduces the high viscosity of SVOs. ACE’s oxygen content, low autoignition temperature, and very low cloud point and pour point values highlight its possibilities as an additive in D/ACE/SVO triple blends. Moreover, ACE can be produced through a renewable biotechnological process, an acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation from cellulosic biomass. The SVOs tested were castor oil (CO), which is not suitable for human consumption, and sunflower oil (SO), used as a standard reference for waste cooking oil. The viscosity measurement of the ACE/SVO double blend was considered crucial to choose the optimum proportion, which better fulfilled the specifications established by European standard EN 590. Moreover, some of the most significant physicochemical properties of D/ACE/SVO triple blends, such as kinematic viscosity, cloud point, pour point, and calorific value, were determined to assess their suitability as fuels. The blends were evaluated in a conventional diesel generator through the study of the following parameters: engine power, smoke emissions, and fuel consumption. Despite the low calorific value of ACE limits its ratio in the mixtures due to engine knocking problems, the experimental results reveal an excellent performance for the blends containing up to 16-18% of ACE and 22-24% of SVO. These blends produce similar engine power as to fossil diesel, but with slightly higher fuel consumption. Considerable reductions in emissions of air pollutants, as well as excellent cold flow properties are also obtained with these triple blends. In summary, the use of these biofuels could achieve a substitution of fossil diesel up to 40%, independently on the SVO employed.

In-situ DRIFT investigation of photocatalytic reduction and oxidation properties of SiO 2@α-Fe 2O 3 core-shell decorated RGO nanocomposite. Sci Rep 2020; 10:2128.

Abstract
In this work, SiO2@α-Fe2O3 core-shell decorated RGO nanocomposites were prepared via a simple sol-gel method. The nanocomposites were prepared with different weight percentages (10, 30, and 50 wt %) of the SiO2@α-Fe2O3 core-shell on RGO, and the effects on the structural and optical properties were identified. The photocatalytic reduction and oxidation properties of the nanocomposites in the gas phase were assessed through the reduction of CO2 and oxidation of ethanol using in-situ diffuse-reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT). The prepared nanocomposite with (30 wt %) of SiO2@α-Fe2O3 showed superior photocatalytic activity for the gas phase reduction of CO2 and oxidation of ethanol. Enhancement in the activity was also perceived when the light irradiation was coupled with thermal treatment. The DRIFT results for the nanocomposites indicate the active chemical conversion kinetics of the redox catalytic effect in the reduction of CO2 and oxidation of ethanol. Further, the evaluation of photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction performance of nanocomposites was acquired by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and the results showed a significant improvement in the onset-potential (–0.58 V) for the RGO (30 wt %)-SiO2@α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite.
