Globally, agricultural lands are polluted by nanoplastics and microplastics (NPs MPs) entering the soil through organic fertilizers to amend soil, use of treated sewage water for irrigation, atmospheric deposition. Therefore, comprehending impact NPs MPs on crops is crucial. Contemporary scientific research indicates that undergo bioaccumulation within plant tissues, adversely affecting crops' physiology, biology, genetics, significantly reducing germination growth/productivity rates. In...
Gray cotton fabric shows hydrophobic characteristics due to presence of non-cellulosic impurities in outermost layers fiber. In the present study, atmospheric pressure plasma treatment for removal from gray is investigated. treated with air dielectric barrier discharge at different time interval, and characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Different species formed are identified using optical...
In the present work, polyester film and fabric were exposed to dielectric barrier discharge in air at atmospheric pressure increase wettability dye uptake properties. The surface of treated samples was analyzed using contact angle goniometer, scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. plasma characterized electrically optically understand chemistry. Significant improvement substrate substantial decrease water after treatment attributed formation polar functional...
Water pollution, driven by the discharge of dyes from industrial processes, poses a significant environmental and health hazard worldwide. Methylene blue, common dye, constitutes particular concern due to its persistence toxicity. Conventional wastewater treatment methods often struggle effectively remove such contaminants. In this study, we introduce novel approach utilizing polysulfone-based composite membrane incorporating pretreated jute fibers copper nanoparticles for removal methylene...
The prevalence of microplastics (MPs) in food items is significant concern due to their potential cause various human health issues when ingested. Milk and dairy products are widely consumed for nutritional value have been found contain MPs, as evidenced by numerous research studies. This review paper examines the current contamination levels MPs breast milk, well evaluates environmental impact analytical methods used analysis. highest milk up 2590 MPs/L. Hence policymakers should enforce...
Abstract This current investigation explored the thermal conversion process of castor wood into biochar, which was subsequently harnessed for removing naproxen from pharmaceutical industrial effluent via adsorption. Surface composition analyses conducted through scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X‐ray, laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy, and Fourier‐transform infrared studies unveiled presence nano MgO particles within adsorbent material. Employing optimization techniques such...
Iron-modified biochar was prepared using woody biomass of Tectona grandis Linn f. for the removal tetracycline from an aqueous solution. The characterized by Fourier transformed infra-red spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscope, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. FTIR results showed predominant peaks that confirm alignment iron oxide on surface biochar. Similarly, iron-modified constitutes a graphite sheet-like structure with irregular projection fit XPS further provided evidence...
Objective: The present study address an environment friendly solution for leather dyeing by using at-mospheric pressure non-thermal plasma to improve natural dyeing. Keywords: Plasma, atmospheric pressure, non-thermal, dyeing, surface modification, improvement in color depth.
Abstract Lotus fibers/textile products have gained interest in recent years as a sustainable alternative of man‐made textiles well natural cellulose fibers. is an important cash crop; lotus fibers are derived from stem residues left pond after harvesting which otherwise considered waste. Though the chiefly composed to cellulose, non‐cellulosic impurities intrinsically present causing problems during processing and finishing. In this study, application cellulase enzyme explored for...
Abstract This study investigated the effect of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma on physicochemical and antibacterial properties ahimsa silk fabric. The fabric was pre-treated for 1–5 min with DBD in ambient air. leaf extracts Camellia sinensis (Green Tea) Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi) were applied to impart an finish. Wettability, SEM, AFM, tensile strength analyses demonstrated increased hydrophilicity surface roughness a slight reduction mechanical strength. Both ATR-FTIR XPS indicated...
