Coimmobilized enzymes as versatile biocatalytic tools for biomass valorization and remediation of environmental contaminants - A review.

Due to stringent regulatory norms, waste processing faces confrontations and challenges in adapting technology for effective management through a convenient and economical system. At the global level, attempts are underway to achieve a green and sustainable treatment for the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass as well as organic contaminants in wastewater. Enzymatic treatment in the environmental aspect thrived on being the promising rapid strategy that appeased the aforementioned predicament.

Biosensor for heavy metals detection in wastewater: A review.

Pollution due to heavy metals is a global issue in recent years. Initially, there were fewer contaminants, which has increased exponentially owing to rapid industrialization and various anthropogenic activities. Toxicity due to heavy metals causes a lot of health problems and organ system failure in human beings.

Lab-on-a-chip technologies for food safety, processing, and packaging applications: a review.

The advent of microfluidic systems has led to significant developments in lab-on-a-chip devices integrating several functions onto a single platform. Over the years, these miniature devices have become a promising tool for faster analytical testing, displaying high precision and efficiency. Nonetheless, most microfluidic systems are not commercially available.

Analysis on the removal of emerging contaminant from aqueous solution using biochar derived from soap nut seeds.

For clearing pollutants and emerging contaminants like ciprofloxacin-500mg from wastewaters generated from pharmaceutical industries, soapnut seeds biochar was synthesized and used as an adsorbent for the effective removal process. Tubular furnace operated under nitrogen gas environment was used to synthesize biochar. The batch analysis were carried out successfully to study the removal mechanism and the removal efficiency of the chosen pollutant.

Investigation of EG-BiS nanorods photocatalytic activity under visible light for dye degradation from aquatic system.

BiS, 5 ml EG-BiS, and 10 ml EG-BiS were synthesized by employing solvothermal route. X-ray diffraction, UV-vis absorption, photoluminescence, Raman, scanning electron microscopic studies confirmed the structural, optical, morphological behaviors. The XRD pattern of BiS, 5 ml EG-BiS, and 10 ml EG-BiS was correlated well with JCPDS # 65-2435.

Surface improved agro-based material for the effective separation of toxic Ni(II) ions from aquatic environment.

In this present study, a novel and low cost surface improved material was prepared from the farm waste material (Borassus flabellifer male inflorescence) and its surface was enhanced by the sulphuric acid treatment to intensify the Ni(II) ions adsorption. The adsorption individualities such as availability of functional groups, essential elements and the exterior side and structural properties of the material were assessed by the FT-IR, EDX, SEM and XRD investigation. The impact of varied adsorption influencing parameters on Ni(II) ions adsorption was studied and optimized as pH - 6.
