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 ...
Removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution: a comparative study of cone biomass of “Picea smithiana” and activated charcoal
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The present work investigates comparative adsorption efficiency of powdered cone biomass of Picea smithiana (PCBP) and activated charcoal (AC) for removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr) (Cr(VI)) from aqueous solution. The ...
Role of soil physicochemical characteristics on the present state of arsenic and its adsorption in alluvial soils of two agri-intensive region of Bathinda, Punjab, India
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
Purpose: Arsenic (As) contamination of groundwater has received significant attention recently in district Bathinda, due to consequent health risk in this region. Soil is the one of the primary medium for arsenic transport ...
Removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution using biomass derived fly ash from Waste-to- Energy power plant
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
Fly ash from the agricultural waste-based Energy Power Plant has been studied for the adsorption of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)]. In order to maximize the Cr(VI) removal from simulated aqueous solutions, effects of various ...
Arsenic Induced Alteration in Macromolecule Concentration and Antioxidant System in Two Improved Rice Varieties
(Tamil Nadu Scientific Research Organization (TNSRO), 2016)
Arsenic contamination of rice has been highlighted as major issue throughout the world as it is a staple food for millions. The aim of study was to analyze the effect of different concentration of arsenic on the germination, ...
Biosensors for breast cancer diagnosis: A review of bioreceptors, biotransducers and signal amplification strategies
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)
Breast cancer is highly prevalent in females and accounts for second highest number of deaths, worldwide. Cumbersome, expensive and time consuming detection techniques presently available for detection of breast cancer ...
Essential oils and their constituents as anticancer agents: A mechanistic view
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)
Exploring natural plant products as an option to find new chemical entities as anticancer agents is one of the fastest growing areas of research. Recently, in the last decade, essential oils (EOs) have been under study for ...
Phytotoxic effects of volatile oil from Artemisia scoparia against weeds and its possible use as a bioherbicide
(Elsevier, 2010)
A study was conducted to assess the bioherbicidal activity of volatile oil hydrodistilled from Artemisia scoparia Waldst et Kit. (red stem wormwood; Asteraceae) against five weed species, viz. Achyranthes aspera, Cassia ...
Bioherbicidal potential of essential oil from leaves of Eucalyptus tereticornis against Echinochloa crus - galli L.
(Crop Protection Research Centre, 2014)
The present study was undertaken to explore the bioherbicidal potential of essential oil(EO)(25 to 250μg/ml) from Eucalyptus tereticornis against one of the major weed of rice (Oryza sativa L.), i.e. Echinochloa crus - ...
Arsenic induced physiological changes in improved varieties of rice grown in Malwa region of Punjab
(Society for Advancement of Human and Nature (SADHNA), 2015)
Rice is a major staple food throughout the world. However metal contamination of rice has been recognized as a new disaster on large scale. Two rice cultivars viz PR 116 and PR 118 were grown in vitro to study the effect ...
