Oil palm male flowers (PMFs), an abundant agricultural waste from oil palm plantation in Thailand, have been utilized as an alternative precursor to develop nanoporous carbons (NPCs) via microwave-assisted pyrolysis combined potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation. The influences of relevant processing variables, such as activating agent ratio, microwave power, and activation time on the specific pore characteristics, surface morphology, and surface chemistry of PMFs derived nanoporous carbons (PMFCs) have been investigated to explore the optimum preparation condition. The optimum condition under a microwave radiation power of 700 W, activation holding time of 6 min, and activating agent ratio of 2:1 obtained the PMFC with the highest Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area and total pore volume approximately of 991 m2/g and 0.49 cm3/g, composed of a carbon content of 74.56%. Meanwhile, PMFCs have a highly microporous structure of about 71.12%. Moreover, activating agent ratio and microwave radiation power indicated a significant influence on the surface characteristics of PMFCs. This study revealed the potential of oil palm male flowers for the NPCs’ production via microwave-assisted KOH activation with a short operating-time condition.

<p>with a variation of NaOH catalyst concentration has been done. The purpose of this study was to determine the concentration of NaOH catalyst in the synthesis of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-on using MAOS method which produced optimal yield. The synthesis of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-on using benzaldehyde and acetophenone was carried out using the MAOS method with NaOH catalyst. The variation of NaOH catalyst concentration was 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. Microwave radiation was carried out at 140 watts for 20 seconds. The purity of the synthesized 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-on was tested by melting point, TLC, and gas chromatography. The structure of the synthesized 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-on was characterized by FTIR, GC-MS and NMR. The results showed that the compound 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-on can be synthesized from benzaldehyde and acetophenone using MAOS method. The obtained yield at varying catalyst concentrations of 10, 20, 30 and 40% were (50.58±1.84%, (69.20±1.58)%, (84.55±1.50)% and (90.60±0.96)%, respectively. The concentration of 40% NaOH catalyst produces the most optimal yield of synthesis products.</p><p> </p>

Background: Medicinal plants consist a rich source of natural pharmacologically active compounds. The aim of the current work, was the study and optimization of the extraction conditions of phenolic constituents from important medicinal and aromatic plants, id. Sideritis raeseri, Sideritis scardica and Origanum vulgare, implementing microwave assisted extraction technique. Methods: Optimization was based on various parameters affecting extraction procedure, such as the duration of microwave radiation, the ratio of plant material mass to the solvent, the type and the concentration of the solvent. Results: The results revealed that 10 min of microwave radiation provided the maximum extraction yield of the phenolic constituents. The ratio of the plant material mass and the solvent had minor effect to the extraction efficiency. Conclusion: The examined solvents provided an extraction yield of phenolic constituents following the order: EtOH<MeOH<H2O<MeOH:H2O (80:20, v/v)<EtOH:H2O (60:40, v/v), in the case of Sideritis raeseri and Sideritis scardica and the order: H2O<MeOH:H2O (80:20, v/v)<EtOH:H2O (60:40, v/v) < MeOH<EtOH in the case of Origanum vulgare.

YAG and Yb:YAG transparent ceramic nanopowders for laser crystal were synthesized by microwave-assisted alkoxide hydrolysis precipitation method. The YAG and Yb:YAG nanopowders were characterized by differential thermal analysis and thermo gravimetric analysis (DTA-TG), infrared spectrum (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The results show that the crystallizing temperature of the precursor of YAG and Yb:YAG is about 930 °C. The pure phase YAG and Yb:YAG nanopowders can be obtained at microwave radiation power of 385 W, microwave radiation time of 30 min and sintering temperature of 1100 °C. The average particle size of YAG is about 120 nm. Yb:YAG is uniform sphere and the average sizes is about 100 nm. The intensity of luminescence of Yb:YAG nanopowders decreased with the increasing of microware time. The maximum luminous intensity of the Yb:YAG nanopowders can be obtained when the microwave radiation is 30 min.
