Heavy metals are quintessential to maintain various biochemical and physiological functions in living organisms when present in very low concentration; however, they become noxious when they exceed certain threshold ...

Heavy metal contamination in wastewater from different industries and agricultural sources pose a serious threat to the environment. Therefore, there is urgency to explore a viable and cost effective method to resolve this ...

There is an intense research interest on the development of a bio- inspired strategy for synthesizing magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) composite materials decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) because of their applications ...

Humic substances are considered as the most important part of soil. Different types of humic substances are humic acid (HA), fulvic acid (FA) and humate. Humic substances (HS) are produced from microbial degradation, ...

Three different composite photocatalysts of clay and ZnO with the composition of 12:88, 25:75 and 50:50, respectively have been prepared. Clay was used as support and Zinc acetate was used as precursor of ZnO. ZnO was ...

Diamides are one of the most important compounds in chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Conventionally, diamides are prepared from dicarboxylic acids and amines or diamines via activated dicarboxylic acids and their ...

In the light of precedent and current developments, there is preference for the development of new bioorganometallic metallodendrimers. Dendrimers and Metallodendrimers are highly branched, globular, multivalent, monodisperse ...

This thesis is composed with the aim of use of resources and management of waste betel nut husk fiber (BNHF) in a more sustainable way. In this research work betel nut (Areca catechu) husk fiber reinforced thermoplastics ...

Hydrogels are hydrophilic three-dimensional highly cross-linked polymer which has wide applications in a variety of fields but the inherent weak mechanical properties make them unsuitable for many practical applications. ...

Microwave irradiation has become a very convenient tool in organic synthesis. Microwave technology in organic chemistry has been explored extensively within the last decade. A Biginelli one-pot three-component reaction ...
