Summary: This study aimed to optimize the preparation of sugarcane bagasse-sewage sludge compositional activated carbon and evaluate its characteristics. Results showed that the compositional activated carbon had a maximum BET surface area of 490 m(2) g(-1) when prepared using ZnCl2 at 4 M, with an activation temperature of 500 degrees C, and a sewage sludge to sugarcane bagasse ratio ranging from 7:3 to 8:2. The material also exhibited a high adsorption capacity for cadmium, indicating its potential as a sorbent material for cadmium removal. Overall, the preparation of activated carbon from sugarcane bagasse and sewage sludge offers a viable solution to the disposal problem of both materials.

Summary: In this study, nitrogen fixation in water was achieved using an AC-driven non-thermal atmospheric pressure nitrogen plasma jet, with the addition of Mg, Al, or Zn to increase the rate of nitrogen reduction to ammonia. The plasma-activated water, with and without metal ions, was found to enhance germination and growth in corn plants significantly, leading to increased chlorophyll and protein contents in leaves. This suggests that non-thermal plasma reactors could be an effective tool to improve seed germination and seedling growth.
