1,3-Bis(cyanomethoxy)calix[4]arene capped CdSe quantum dots for the fluorogenic sensing of fluorene
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
Capping of 1,3-bis(cyanomethoxy)-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (CAD) onto CdSe quantum dots (QDs) was characterized by a fluorescence enhancement of the QDs (?em = 580 nm) upon surface interaction with the phenolic moiety of ...
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 ...
Soil Bacteria in Chlorpyrifos Biodegradation
(Krishi Sanskriti Publications, 2014)
The Chlorpyrifos is a broad spectrum organophosphate
insecticide used against various crop pests and household pests. The
excessive usage of this moderately hazardous pesticide adds up
residues to the environment and become ...
Multifaceted application of crop residue biochar as a tool for sustainable agriculture: An ecological perspective
(Elsevier, 2015)
Lignocellulosic crop residue biomass, in surplus, is of vital importance due to its multifaceted utilization potential on- and off-site to agricultural systems; therefore, its management is essential for sustainable ...
Mutagenic Effect in Vegetables by Pesticides
(Krishi Sanskriti Publications, 2013)
The advent of pesticides in vegetable crops is to control insects, pathogens and weeds aimed at increasing the crop yield, but the applied pesticides are not fully reaching the target pests. It escapes to environment or ...
Spatio – temporal variations of urban heat island over Delhi
(Elsevier, 2014)
Temporal and spatial trends of the surface urban heat island (UHI) formation over Delhi are examined with respect to aerosol load and land-cover variations. The study reveals that temperatures over Delhi are higher than ...
Sorptive removal of arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)] by fuller’s earth immobilized nanoscale zero-valent iron nanoparticles (F-nZVI): Effect of Fe 0 loading on adsorption activity
(Elsevier, 2016)
Fuller’s earth immobilized nanoscale zerovalent iron (F-nZVI 1–8) were synthesized by borohydride reduction method. The iron loading of fuller’s earth immobilized nZVI was varied from 5 to 50% (w/w) in these F-nZVI 1–8. ...
Assessment of uranium concentration in the drinking water and associated health risks in Eastern Haryana, India
(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2018)
Quantification of uranium in drinking water has great significance considering its effects on human health. Drinking water samples collected from different sources, viz., hand pumps, tube-wells, and public water supply ...
ADVANCES IN MICROBIAL BIODEGRADATION OF CHLORPYRIFOS
(Jerad Publications,, 2014)
Chlorpyrifos (O,O-diethyl O-3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl phosphorothioate) an organophosphate pesticide is one of the most commonly used insecticide, acaricide and termiticide in agriculture, households and public health. The ...
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 ...
