... 69 From the perspective of elemental release kinetics, the zeroorder model provides a better fit for the release of Ca and Mg from DAP-treated soil, indicating a slow and consistent release with a high correlation coefficient (R 2 = 0.97) for Mg. 70 Additionally, the Korsmeyer−Peppas model with a B value of 1.56 (>0.89) suggests a Super Case II transport mechanism 71 for Mg release. In contrast, Ca release from APP and KTPP treatments follows a first-order model, with KTPP showing a greater release due to larger kinetic constant B. 72 Mg release in APP and KTPP treatments, with B values ≤ 0.45, indicates a Fickian diffusional release mechanism, influenced more by initial release amounts than time. ...

... The MgO synthesis methodology is decisive in producing the material with the desired properties. Among the available description methods, the sol-gel method has gained prominence due to its effectiveness in production and being a low-cost process, as it uses little raw material and is viable on an industrial scale 4,5 . Furthermore, the possibility of adjusting the final material's properties by modifying property parameters opens the way to explore new characteristics and applications of MgO. ...

... This behavior gives rise to the formation of dimer and oligomer compounds where short metal-metal interactions occur, while solvent molecules may also participate in the formation of the chromophore [12]. Of course, exogenous factors like the reaction medium, the ligand substituents and the nature of the counterions play a role in determining the overall structure of metal benzoates [13][14][15][16]. ...

... The discontinuous phase in the composite consists of NPs of the bioMOF CaSyr-1 impregnated with ibuprofen. The pristine CaSyr-1 was synthesized following a recently reported green strategy based on the use of ethanol (EtOH) [18]. A supercritical CO2 (scCO2) method was chosen to encapsulate the ibuprofen drug into the bioMOF micropores, taking advantage of the high solubility of this compound in this fluid (ca. ...

... The band around 1487 cm −1 can be related to the C=N stretching vibration in Mn(III)Cl-COOH-TPOPP. The band located at 1007 cm −1 is attributed to asymmetric vibrations of the pyrrole ring because δ(C-H) vibrations strongly depend on the nature of the metal [51][52][53]. The bands present at around 2850 cm −1 and 2900 cm −1 are attributed in both compounds to the symmetrical and asymmetrical aromatic vibrations of C-H bonds [54]. ...

... This is the case despite experiments carried out in the laboratory showing encouraging results. Furthermore, reactor designs need optimization to enhance the interaction between TiO2 and sulfur-containing compounds, which will improve the efficiency of desulfurization [89]. Solar energy has the potential to be a viable source for photocatalytic desulfurization, which is a prospect in TiO2-based desulfurization [90]. ...
