Novel Soybean soapstock Biodiesel Synthesis through Esterification/Transesterification Reactions using Multiple Solvents 4-13
Mbah Chinedu Gabriel
Soybean soapstock (SS) a by-product from the soybean processing food chain can serve as a viable feedstock for biodiesel production. This viability can be attributed to its low costs and high conversion rates. Biodiesel from this feedstock requires both esterification and transesterification...

Microbial Nitrogen Transformation in Hyporheic–riparian Zones: Integrating Molecular Ecology and Biogeochemical Perspectives 37-56
Sadiq Bishir
,
Hyporheic–riparian zones (HRZs) function as critical biogeochemical hotspots, where dynamic exchanges between surface water and groundwater establish steep physicochemical gradients that regulate nitrogen (N) cycling at the terrestrial–aquatic interface. Here, we synthesises advances in the...
