ABSTRACT Cooking oil is an indispensable ingredient in everyday family cooking. The oil after use is often discharged directly into wastewater systems, leading to risks of environmental pollution, water pollution, clogging of drainage systems... In recent years, water hyacinth plants have been considered weeds, floating on rivers, canals, ponds and lakes, obstructing the circulation of boats and preventing water flow. Water hyacinth plants are often found in large rivers and almost no one cares about their uses, making them truly wasteful. Realizing the flexibility of water hyacinth when dried, it can be woven into pieces with good absorbent properties, our team has researched using water hyacinth as a material to absorb used cooking oil that is discarded into the environment. school. The research uses the main methods of experimental method and sample analysis method in its research. The result is that a product that absorbs discarded cooking oil scum is formed and is tested for cooking oil contaminated water with results consistent with QCVN 14:2008/BTNMT. The purpose of the research is to find effective products to absorb discarded cooking oil to save costs and contribute to environmental protection. The problem of using naturally available materials to create products that absorb cooking oil scum at the same time solves two current environmental problems. The research is a preliminary result, so there are still many shortcomings. We hope that in the future there will be further research to make the product more and more perfect

Advanced materials have been of interest in recent years because of their outstanding properties that bring many useful applications to humans, they can be highly compatible with alternative materials. In particular, coating materials on HAp base increase the biocompatibility of HAp. In this study, we synthesize TiO2/HAp composite materials using the sol - gel method. Samples were made under different synthesis conditions in terms of HAp/TTIP ratios: (1:1); (1:1.5); (1:2); (1:2.5); (1:3). Factors affecting the synthesis process, such as the incubation time and pH of the solution, were also investigated. The optimal conditions for the synthesis process are the ratio HAp/TTIP: 1 gram HAp with 2 ml TTIP; stirring time: 16 hours; pH of the gel solution: pH = 0.5, as determined from the analysis of the X-ray diffraction spectrum and SEM surface morphology. The research results are the basis for research on biomedical materials.

Investigating the characteristics of the three-step sorption of Sc on armchair silicene nanoribbons is the aim of this study. Since absorbed energy is the largest of the bridge, hollow, valley, and top positions, the hollow position is selected first. The structural state of the second step has an energy of adsorption of 4.18 Å and a bond length of 2.36 Å for Si-Si. Finally, ASiNRs with a high Sc atom had their 1.25 Å surface modified. Adsorbed ASiNRs resulted in new materials with semi-metal and magnetic characteristics, suggesting potential use in spintronic and electronic devices in the future.

In this work, we focus on investigating ill-posed problems (according to the definition given by Hadamard) in the topic of its application. Specifically, we present some theories about the properties of the ill-posed problem in image processing. By using discrete Fourier transform and fast Fourier transform methods, we present several results on image processing topic. Finally, some illustrative examples are presented through algorithms running on Python software.

In the paper, we investigate the structure and electronic properties of the pristine germanene nanoribbon and four adsorption configurations of 1F and 2F on the substrate of germanene nanoribbon. We obtained the parameters of the most stable structures of pristine germanene nanoribbon and four adsorption configurations. The band structure and the density of state and the part density of state for each element were also obtained. Findings show the adsorption configuration of 1F-GeNR.bridge has no band structure, while other configurations are semimetals with band gap from 0.175eV to 0.67eV; both four adsorption configurations are chemisorption and non-magnetic. The charge distribution of all configurations also was investigated; it showed that there is a charge shift from Ge atoms towards F atoms due to their electronegativity difference.

Abstract: The article is based on data from the research program "Greater Mekong Subregion Flood and Drought Risk Management and Mitigation Project (ADB-GMS1)" jointly implemented by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the Vietnam Institute of Water Resourches Research in Tien Giang and Dong Thap province. The results show that, in recent years, due to the increasingly severe global climate change, the intensity of various types of natural disasters occurs more frequently, irregularly and with greater intensity. This has greatly affected the production, daily life and properties of the people in the vulnerable areas. To reduce the impact of various types of disasters on people living in vulnerable areas, it is necessary to combine two types of solutions in disaster prevention, namely construction solutions and non- construction solutions. In which, non-construction solutions play a very important role, namely, people living in communities are considered as the main actors in preventing and mitigating disaster risks occurring in the community.

Applying first-principles calculations, the investigation of the geometrical and electronic properties of Pr adsorption armchair silicene nanoribbons structure has been established. The results show that the bandgap doped Pr has been changed, which is the case for chemical adsorption on the surface of ASiNRs; this material became metallic with the peak of valance band contact fermi level. Moreover, the survey to find the optimal height 1.82 Å of Pr and 2.24 Å bond length Si-Si, and Si-Si-Si bond angle 108005’, energy adsorption is -7.65 eV, buckling is 0.43 Å with structure stability close to the pristine case, has brought good results for actively creating newly applied materials for the spintronic and optoelectronics field in the future.

Heavy metal pollution is a major problems in the environment. The impact of toxic metal ions can be minimized by different technologies, viz., chemical precipitation, membrane filtration, oxidation, reverse osmosis, flotation and adsorption. But among them, adsorption was found to be very efficient and common due to the low concentration of metal uptake and economically feasible properties. In this review paper, Fe–Mn binary oxide incorporated into diatomite (Fe/Mn-diatomite) was prepared by a simple coating method , and removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. The effects of three independent variables including initial ion concentration, removal time, and adsorbent dosage were investigated on the maximum adsorption of Cu (II). The optimum conditions for the adsorption of Cu(II) was obtained: 75 ppm of initial ion concentration, 150 min of removal time and 1.5 g/l of adsorbent. The maximum removal efficiencies of Cu(II) was obtained 86.25%. The results showed that Fe/Mn-diatomite was apable of treating copper metal in wastewater.
