In situ reductive regeneration of zerovalent iron nanoparticles immobilized on cellulose for atom efficient Cr( VI ) adsorption
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)Zerovalent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) (11.8 ± 0.2% w/w) immobilized on microcrystalline cellulose (C-nZVI) were synthesized and studied for Cr(VI) sorption. The material showed good atom economy for Cr(VI) adsorption (562.8 ... -
In situ reductive regeneration of zerovalent iron nanoparticles immobilized on cellulose for atom efficient Cr(vi) adsorption
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)Zerovalent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) (11.8 - 0.2% w/w) immobilized on microcrystalline cellulose (C-nZVI) were synthesized and studied for Cr(vi) sorption. The material showed good atom economy for Cr(vi) adsorption (562.8 ... -
Inactivation of bacterial pathogenic load in compost against vermicompost of organic solid waste aiming to achieve sanitation goals: A review
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)Waste management strategies for organic residues, such as composting and vermicomposting, have been implemented in some developed and developing countries to solve the problem of organic solid waste (OSW). Yet, these ... -
The Indian perspective on the harmful substances found in sanitary napkins and their effects on the environment and human health
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023-04-06)In this study, hazardous substances in 5 different brands of sanitary napkins being used in India have been analysed through gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GCMS). Concentration of chemicals such as volatile organic ... -
Influence of anion induced proton abstraction on Cu(II) adsorption by alginic acid
(Elsevier B.V., 2015)Alginic acid (AA) synthesized by acidification of commercial sodium alginate was investigated for its Cu(II) adsorption efficiency in the presence of different counter ions. The results of batch adsorption studies indicated ... -
Influence of Fertilizer industry wastewater on the germination behavior of barley (Hordeum vulgare) grains
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)Industries generate enormous amount of wastewater. Increased water crisis problems, coupled with stringent regulatory standards for wastewater disposal has necessitated the need for better wastewater treatment options. ... -
Influence of stocking density on the vermicomposting of an effluent treatment plant sludge amended with cow dung
(Springer Verlag, 2016)This paper reports the effect of earthworm population density on the vermicomposting of effluent treatment plant sludge of a bakery industry. Four waste mixtures containing 0, 10, 20, and 30?% sludge along with cow dung ... -
