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 ...
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 ...
The thesis comprises four chapters. Chapter 1 highlights the general introduction of H2S and its role in biological systems. This chapter briefly discusses the production, metabolism, and biochemical pathways of H2S ...
The thesis mainly focuses on the isolation of phenol-degrading bacteria from oilcontaminated sites and their application in the biodegradation of phenolic and petroleum wastewaters. Firstly, two potential phenol-degrading ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Given the vulnerability of agricultural sector to variations in weather conditions, it will be one of the sectors most affected by climate change. This study assesses the state of climate change and variability in the ...
Flue gases emitted from coal-fired thermoelectric plants is responsible for up to 7% (v/v) of global CO2 emissions, about 10-15% (v/v) of the flue gases emitted from the power plants being in the form of CO2. Increased CO2 ...
This thesis is aimed to find a solution for one of the environmental problems viz. increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. The thesis focuses over this subject for the mitigation of CO2 through its utilization. ...
A primary objective of ecological monitoring programs is to detect changes in ecosystem functions and processes. Healthy ecosystem functions are the key components to balanced ecosystem services.
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 contents of this thesis have been divided into two chapters based on the results of experimental works performed during the complete course of the research period. the first chapter of the thesis again has been divided ...
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. ...
