This work focuses on the bioinspired synthesis of various spherical and tailor-made nanoparticles using reducing and capping agents present in the leaves extract of the Psidium guajava (guava) plant. These bioinspired ...
The thesis is compiled into seven chapters, which comprises the introduction, review of literature, experimental findings, a summary of the work and future prospects.
Chapter 1 presents a brief introduction to the design ...
The isolation, screening and identification of potential indigenous biosurfactant-producing and oil-utilizing bacterial strains were carried out from the formation water as well as soil sample of the Assam oil reservoir. ...
The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (ERC) is a promising technique for storing energy and producing carbon-based chemicals from CO2. The concentration of CO2 is increased from 280 to 416.3 ppm (43.3%) over the ...
The global biotherapeutics market has been tremendously growing with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%, and is expected to reach a total sales value close to half a trillion USD within the next five years. The ...
The presence of dyes, including azo functional group (-N=N-) containing dyes, in industrial wastewater is one of the major causes of water pollution. This report showcases the functional role of azoreductase from Chromobacterium ...
In summary, the thesis has some substantial and promising results in the domain of sustainable environmental chemistry and engineering where environmentally toxic organic compounds or cations/ anions are captured by a ...
Different pollutants arising from natural and anthropogenic sources have contaminated our nature and have grave impact on human health. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous pollutant which cause great ...
Due to rapid economic development over the past few decades, global energy consumption has intensified continuously, causing not only greenhouse gas emissions, but also energy shortage, and in some areas even energy crises. ...
Today, amidst the rapidly expanding urbanized world, around 54% of the world’s population lives in cities. The concept of ‘Green Design’ has now become a new trend for the development of sustainable cities. With the ...
The current thesis emphasizes sustainable strategies to achieve an industrial titer of bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass via biochemical conversion route. Preliminarily, structural carbohydrates content ...
Poly aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) along with nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms are the main impurities in the fuel oil. These PAHs are the primary cause for air pollution due to the release of SOx and NOx during combustion of ...
Composting of biological waste is mainly governed by the diversity of microorganisms working intermittently or in succession in order to carry out the biochemical reactions for their metabolism. The rotary drum composting ...
Water hyacinth is considered to be the world’s worst aquatic due to its phenomenal reproduction potential. It can grow within a week and cover an entire freshwater body by forming thick dense mats. These thick dense mats ...
Heavy metals are extensively used for several applications, and as a consequence of which these metals are discharged into the environment from different sources. Owing to their non biodegradable and non persistent nature, ...
Adsorption technique for wastewater treatment is considered to be the most economically feasible method. Various literatures reported the removal of dyes, heavy metals, etc., by adsorbents such as activated carbon, fly ...
Phenol is a xenobiotic released in wastewaters of industries as coal industries, phenol manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, dying, petrochemicals, pulp mill etc. Owing to high ecological toxicity risks of phenol it is considered ...
