The optical, structural, morphological, surface, thermal characteristics biosynthesized nanoparticles were investigated UV, FTIR, SEM, DLS, BET, TGA-DSC analysis. phase formation presence nanocrystalline TiO2 revealed by XRD pattern. FTIR analysis conjugation, Ti–O O–H vibrational bands....

Here, we reported the synthesis of ZnO/Alg bionanocomposite and analyzed photocatalytic degradation efficiency for MB MO dyes under UV light. We also performed optimization studies using RSM-CCD method obtained 98% efficiency.

The River Yamuna is one of the largest rivers in northern India. It serves as a major source potable water to National Capital Delhi. A study was carried out monitor and quantify three common antibiotics surface water, with help Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) coupled Mass spectrophotometer (MS/MS)-based method. All river locations research area were sampled triplicate determine significant presence from local areas, hospitals, drug manufacturing facilities, residential areas....

In this study, we aimed to observe how different operating parameters influenced the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB, cationic dye) and bromophenol Blue (BPB, anionic over ZnO/CuO under visible light irradiation. This further corroborated optimization study employing response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD). The synthesis nanocomposite was carried out using co-precipitation method. synthesized samples were characterized via XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM,...

This study investigates the effect of fly ash (FA) on Pithecellobium dulce (Roxb) Benth. trees growing at three different locations. FA stress caused significant changes in leaf attributes like sugar, protein contents, photosynthetic pigments, nitrate content and reductase activity foliar tissues plants a highly contaminated site, as compared to low-pollution site. Lower rates stomatal conductance (SC) were observed P. leaves under conditions that drastically reduced net rate (PN); however,...

The movement of emerging pollutants, particularly antibiotics, from surface water to crops through the process plant uptake poses a significant public concern related agricultural utilization untreated and biosolids. It is essential consider potential risk inadvertent human exposure accumulation drug residues in fresh food crops, case various green vegetables. Nowadays, environmental research mainly focusing on bioaccumulation threat posed by pharmaceutical residues, especially antibiotics...

Here, we report the fabrication of nZVI by wet chemical technique in presence ethanol using ferric iron and sodium borohydride as reducing agents under ambient conditions. The obtained particles are mainly a zero-valent oxidation state do not undergo significant for several weeks. structural morphological parameters were investigated UV, XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, DLS analysis. optical nature, bandgap energy, absorption edge all revealed UV–visible spectrum. phase development crystallinity shown...

Herein, a magnetic biochar adsorbent based on Pyrus pyrifolia discarded peels impregnated with precursor FeCl3·6H2O was fabricated and probed as low-cost for toxic cationic dye methylene blue (MB). The textural characterization of (PMBC) obtained from BET analysis exhibited its mesoporous nature SBET 133.960 m2/g. physicochemical characteristics PMBC were elucidated using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX TEM techniques. impregnation FeCl3 has significant impact the microstructure which resulted in...

This study involves the fabrication of a novel, sustainable, and economically viable adsorbent ceria/rice flour/montmorillonite nanocomposite (Ce-R-MMT) for decontamination Cr( vi ) Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) from aquatic phase.

In order to identify the most suitable method for estimation of nanosulfur studying its residue dynamics, present work was taken up. HPLC and GC methods were explored analysis. A comparative study existing analytical quality control undertaken. UV spectrophotometry superior with lower LOD when compared GC-MS, which not satisfactory due breakage catenated S20 into S6 S8 . The has been validated by analyzing various formulations known concentrations. recovery ranged from 80.71 109.51% 82.31...

This study defined a facile, inexpensive, and benign method to fabricate silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Tradescantia pallidum var. purpurea aqueous leaves extract for the first time. A UV–vis spectrum showed that evaluated was promising green synthesis of SNP, with highest peak absorption between 450 550 nm. The phytochemicals present in plant acts as capping stabilization agent were confirmed by FTIR analysis. EDX proved presence Ag while SEM AgNPs spherical shape. TEM revealed average...

We have isolated three pyridine base alkaloids namely ricinine ( C1 ), N ‐demethylricinine C2 ) and 4‐methoxy pyridine‐3‐carboxylic acid C3 from methanolic extract of Riccinus Communis leaves investigated corrosion inhibition effect on mild steel in 0.5 HCl solution using the weight loss electrochemical techniques (Galvanostatic polarization EIS). Polarization resistances calculated EIS measurements are good agreement with those obtained alternating current (AC) measurements. The samples...
