Enhancing resource recovery from acid whey through chitosan-based pretreatment and machine learning optimization.

Bioresource technology
Acid whey, a dairy byproduct with low pH and high organic content, presents disposal challenges but also potential for resource recovery. In this study, chitosan gel was synthesized and evaluated for turbidity reduction of acid whey. Machine learning...

Design and synthesis of a new recyclable nanohydrogel based on chitosan for Deltamethrin removal from aqueous solutions: Optimization and modeling by RSM-ANN.

International journal of biological macromolecules
In this study, a new magnetic biocompatible hydrogel was synthesized as an adsorbent for Deltamethrin pesticide removal. The optimal conditions and adsorption process of Deltamethrin by chitosan/polyacrylic acid/FeO nanocomposite hydrogel was studied...

A Bio-Inspired Magnetic Soft Robotic Fish for Efficient Solar-Energy Driven Water Purification.

Small methods
Solar-driven water evaporation is a promising solution for global water scarcity but is still facing challenges due to its substantial energy requirements. Here, a magnetic soft robotic bionic fish is developed by combining magnetic nanoparticles (Fe...

Synthesis and characterization of Fe(III)-doped beta-cyclodextrin-grafted chitosan cryogel beads for adsorption of diclofenac in aqueous solutions: Adsorption experiments and deep-learning modeling.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Diclofenac (DCF) is frequently detected in aquatic environments, emphasizing the critical need for its efficient removal globally. Here, we present the synthesis of Fe(III)-doped β-CD-grafted chitosan (Fe/β-CD@CS) cryogel beads designed for adsorbing...

Deep Learning Used with a Colorimetric Sensor Array to Detect Indole for Nondestructive Monitoring of Shrimp Freshness.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Intelligent colorimetric freshness indicator is a low-cost way to intuitively monitor the freshness of fresh food. A colorimetric strip sensor array was prepared by -dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (PDL)-doped poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and chitosan (Chit...

Chitosan-based magnetic bioadsorbent beads from eucalyptus sawdust waste for the Direct Violet-51 dye remediation: Eco-friendly strategy and statistical optimization.

International journal of biological macromolecules
In the present study, a new application was proposed for the eucalyptus sawdust waste, which is an environmental passive. Three adsorbent materials composed of chitosan (CS), sawdust (CSW), and magnetic beads (CSWF) were developed and used for the Di...

Chitosan-gum arabic embedded alizarin nanocarriers inhibit biofilm formation of multispecies microorganisms.

Carbohydrate polymers
Biofilm formation by microorganisms is a serious clinical problem that leads to drug failure. Nanocarriers (NCs) have shown good potential for controlling drug-resistant biofilms, although the effective penetration and retention of NCs in biofilms is...

Biomimetic sharkskin surfaces with antibacterial, cytocompatible, and drug delivery properties.

Biomaterials advances
Fighting with the infection is one of the most challenging and costly burdens of the healthcare system. Several types of antibiotics and antibacterial agents have been designed and used in combating this dilemma. Nevertheless, the overuse of drugs an...

Evaluation of Free Available Chlorine of Sodium Hypochlorite When Admixed with 0.2% Chitosan: A Preliminary Study.

The journal of contemporary dental practice
AIM AND OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the changes in free available chlorine (FAC) when 6% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is admixed with irrigants 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), and 0.2% chitosan i...
