The synthesis of silver nanoparticles using plant extracts is known as a green approach, as it does not require the use of high pressure, energy, high temperature, or toxic chemicals. The approach makes use of plant extracts in a process called bioreduction, which is mediated by enzymes, proteins, amino acids, and metabolites found in bark, seed, and leaf extracts, transforming silver ions into metallic silver....
This work evaluated the degradation of sugarcane vinasse with the production of biomass by Pleurotus sajor-caju CCB020, considering the combination of temperature and pH effects, using surface response methodology (RSM). A 22 complete central factorial composite experiment was used to analyze the results. The optimum temperature and pH values were respectively 27°C and 5.6 for maximum decolorization yield and 2...
