Alternative binders that can be processed in water are still in the early stages of development for more efficient and sustainable supercapacitors. However, their electrochemical performance is still below average. This study uses heat-moisture-treated starch (starch HMT) as a binder for reduced graphene oxide (rGO) supercapacitors. Starch HMT has been fabricated at 120 °C. The XRD diffractogram exhibits peaks at 2θ angles of 15°, 17°, 22°, and 24°. The 2θ values indicate that potato starch is of type B. FTIR spectra show the formation of OH, C–O–C, C-O, C–O–C, and C-H bonds. SEM images show cracks in the morphology. Electrochemical testing shows a specific capacity of 230 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g. The charge–discharge stability of the electrodes at 5000 cycles is 90%. These results offer a framework for developing electrode materials and binders for supercapacitors.

Coal is used to produce fuels, chemicals, and other high-value-added products to improve efficiency. Activated carbon (AC) derived from coal is an important part of coal’s resource utilization and is high-value-added. This study presents relevant research on AC derived from coal, including raw material selection, preparation methods, modification techniques, and regeneration methods. The potential applications of AC derived from coal for the adsorption of contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceutical compounds, and organic and inorganic compounds, are reviewed. One of the advantages of using AC derived from coal in wastewater treatment is high adsorption, low cost, and sustainability.

The residue produced during the extraction of aluminum from bauxite ore via the Bayer process is known as red mud (RM), with 0.5–2.5 t of RM generated for each ton of alumina produced. Due to its highly alkaline nature (pH = 10.0–12.5), RM poses significant environmental threats and requires large storage areas. To address this environmental concern and develop sustainable way to utilize RM, extensive research has been conducted in fields such as soil remediation, metal recovery, steel production, catalytic reactions, cheap adsorbents for pollutant removal, ceramics, brick production, and pigment and slag additives for paint production. While early studies on metal recovery from RM focused on the recovery of metals such as Fe and Al, recent years have seen an increase in research on Sc recovery from RM, as RM is now recognized as an important source for Sc. This review examines in detail methods such as direct acid leaching, bioleaching, acid baking, and water leaching used for Sc recovery from RM. Additionally, data on the recovery of not only Sc but also other metals from RM are presented.

LiDAR (light detection and ranging) sensors use laser beams to calculate distances in the surroundings. These sensors can be applied to a wide range of tasks, and they are frequently helpful in tasks like building 3D maps, navigating airplanes, robots, conducting mining operations, and automated driving. High-resolution distance measurements are taken by LiDAR sensors, but they also gather environmental data. This information aids in locating, identifying, and quantifying things and their surroundings. The iPhone 12 Pro, which Apple released in 2020, was evaluated for accuracy with various geometric shapes and its capacity to recognize indoor environments. Free of charge 3D Scanner and the Clirio Scan application were employed in this situation. However, it was found that the root mean square error and mean error in indoor mapping were ±1.41 cm and-0.56 cm in 3D Scanner and ±3.94 cm and-0.60 cm in the Clirio Scan application, respectively, despite the findings obtained showing low accuracy in scanning small geometric objects due to the scanning difficulty. Clirio does not reject the null hypothesis in the t-test that was conducted. The accuracy of the LiDAR sensor in indoor mapping has been shown to be more promising than that of small items. In order to evaluate the reliability and reusability of the indoor mapping application according to reference measurements, intraclass correlation test was performed and the results were determined to be reliable.

Activated carbon was prepared from hazelnut shell by chemical activation. In practice, activation was provided K2CO3 and K2CO3 + H3BO3 treatment with hazelnut shell. In order to find the optimum activated carbon, different K2CO3 (15 %, 30 % and 45 %) and H3BO3 (3%, 5% and 10%) concentration, activation temperature (500, 600, 750, 900°C) and carbonization time (30, 60 and 120 minute) was employed. The produced activated carbon samples, moisture content, ash content, carbonization yield, iodine number, hardness, surface area, mercury porosimetry, SEM and adsorption capacity were studied to determine the optimum sample. As a result of studies, optimum activated carbon was obtained at 5% boric acid and 30 % potassium carbonate acid concentration, 900°C carbonization temperature and 60 minute carbonization time. The obtained iodine number of activated carbon 1009.71 mg/I2, surface area 780.31 m2/g was determined. Also made hardness and adsorption tests produced results of high hardness of the active carbon (93.33 %) and was found to have high adsorption capacity. Due to having low moisture and ash content with high surface area, hardness, of hazelnut shell is considered to be a potential raw material for producing activated carbon.
