Green fabrication of ZnO nanoparticles using Eucalyptus spp. leaves extract and their application in wastewater remediation
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
The present study explored removal of carcinogenic cationic and anionic dyes from aqueous medium using green fabricated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). The ZnO-NPs were synthesized employing biogenic green reduction ...
Optimization of Pb (II) and Cd (II) adsorption onto ZnO nanoflowers using central composite design: isotherms and kinetics modelling
(Elsevier B.V., 2018)
This study focused to optimization and screening of parameters for the adsorption of Cd (II) and Pb (II) onto ZnO nanoflowers. These were synthesized by low temperature hydrothermal methods. The surface properties of ZnO ...
Vermicomposting of lignocellulosic waste: A biotechnological tool for waste management
(CRC Press, 2017)
Rapid urbanization and increment in global population have resulted in huge waste mass generation. A significant portion of solid waste is biodegradable in nature, of which a considerable fraction is lignocellulosic biomass. ...
Applications of Fe3O4@AC nanoparticles for dye removal from simulated wastewater
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
This study deals with the removal of cationic dyes from the simulated wastewater using Fe3O4 nanoparticles loaded activated carbon. Fe3O4@AC nanoparticles were synthesised using co-precipitation methods. The Fe3O4@AC ...
Natural Radioactivity in Soil, Associated Radiation Exposure and Cancer Risk to Population of Eastern Haryana, India
(Geological Society of India, 2019)
This study was undertaken to quantify the natural radioactivity in soil and associated radiation exposure to the inhabitants residing in Sonipat district, Haryana, India. A total of 120 soil samples were collected from 30 ...
Application of EDTA modified Fe3O4/sawdust carbon nanocomposites to ameliorate methylene blue and brilliant green dye laden water
(Academic Press Inc., 2019)
This work explored the potential of magnetic sawdust carbon nanocomposites for cationic dyes removal from aqueous medium. EDTA modified magnetic sawdust carbon nanocomposites (EDTA@Fe3O4/SC ncs) were prepared by biogenic ...
Green synthesized SiO2@OPW nanocomposites for enhanced Lead (II) removal from water
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
The orange peel waste (OPW) was chemically spiked with silica nanospheres, to develop a novel, nanocomposite (SiO2@OPW) with enhanced adsorption capacity for heavy metals. The dispersion of silica nanospheres into orange ...
Optimization of cadmium(II) removal from water using sunflower waste carbon-a statistical approach
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2020)
In this study, a statistical experimental strategy was used to optimize the Cd(II) adsorption by chemically treated stems of Helianthus annuus (sunflower). The maximum cadmium adsorption was found at 100 mg/L when a dose ...
Development of iron oxide/activated carbon nanoparticle composite for the removal of Cr(VI), Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution
(Elsevier B.V., 2018)
Iron oxide (Fe3O4) and iron oxide/activated carbon (Fe3O4/AC) were fabricated by co-precipitation method for the removal of Cr(VI), Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution in batch mode. These nanoparticles were ...
