A CuAl-layered double hydroxide/hydrochar (CuAl-LDH/HC) composite derived from Pennisetum setaceum was synthesized and evaluated for Congo Red (CR) removal from aqueous solutions. Hydrochar was prepared via hydrothermal carbonization and subsequently integrated with CuAl-LDH using a coprecipitation method. Structural and surface properties were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDX, and BET anal…
Research on SiO2 extraction has been done from sugarcane bagasse using hydrothermal methods with variation NaOH concentration of 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0 M and calcination methods with temperature variation of 800, 900 and 1000ºC. Characterization of SiO2 extracted carriedovt using XRD analysis, FT-IR, and silica surface area calculation using the methylene blue adsorption method. The results of cha…
