OPTICAL AND PHOTOCATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF BR-DOPED BIOCL NANOSHEETS WITH RICH OXYGEN VACANCIES AND DOMINATING {001} FACETS

Optical and Photocatalytic Properties of Br-Doped BiOCl Nanosheets with Rich Oxygen Vacancies and Dominating {001} Facets

Crystal facet engineering and nonmetal doping are regarded as effective strategies for improving the separation of charge carriers and photocatalytic activity of semiconductor photocatalysts.In this paper, we developed a facial method for fabricating oxygen-deficient Br-doped BiOCl nanosheets with dominating {001} facets through a traditional hydro

Struvite Precipitation as a Means of Recovering Nutrients and Mitigating Ammonia Toxicity in a Two-Stage Anaerobic Digester Treating Protein-Rich Feedstocks

Accumulation of ammonia, measured as total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), a product of protein decomposition in slaughterhouse wastes, inhibits the anaerobic digestion process, reducing digester productivity and leading to failure.Struvite precipitation (SP) is an effective means to remove TAN click here and enhance the buffering of substrates.Different M

Strouhal number analysis for the swimming of little penguin (Eudyptula minor): Proof of efficient underwater propulsion

Penguins are the utmost specialized wing-propelled divers as their flapping action is accountable for the entire underwater propulsion.However, numerical evidence of how efficient their underwater propulsion is has not been studied to date.Literature sources suggest that propulsive efficiency peaks when the Strouhal number (St) ranges between 0.2 a
