Effect of ionic strength and ionic interactions on the oxidation of Fe(II)

The rates of oxidation of Fe(II) in NaCl and NaClO ₄ solutions were studied as a function of pH (6 to 9), temperature (5 to 25°C), and ionic strength (0 to 6m). The rates are second order with respect to [H⁺] or [OH^–] and independent of ionic strength and temperature. The overall rate of the oxidation is given by

A review of bacterial cellulose: sustainable production from agricultural waste and applications in various fields

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a polymer with interesting conformation and properties. BC can be obtained in different shapes and is easily modified by chemical and physical means, so its applications in the production of new materials and nanocomposites for different purposes have been in the focus of many research projects. However, one of the major challenges to address in bacterium-derived polymer technology is to find suitable carbon sources as substrates that are cheap and do not compete with food production for achieving large scale industrial applications. Agricultural wastes are defined as the residues from the growing and processing of raw agricultural products such as crops, fruits, vegetables and dairy products. Their composition can vary depending on the type of agricultural activity and harvesting conditions, but these residues are suitable for the production of BC. The aim of this review is to give insight into the production of BC using agro-wastes and an overview of the most interesting and novel applications of this biopolymer in different areas i.e. environmental applications, optoelectronic and conductive devices, food ingredients and packaging, biomedicine, and 3D printing technology.
