Article Synopsis
- Synthetic hematite nanoparticles are widely researched for various applications, but natural iron nanoparticles in freshwater ecosystems have been under-studied.
- A study in southern India identified natural iron nanoparticles in tropical freshwater, characterized by advanced techniques showing they exist as mesoporous, amorphous hematite microspheres.
- The presence of Bacillus cereus indicates a biogeochemical origin, enhancing understanding of these nanoparticles' ecological roles and suggesting their potential for industrial uses.
Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is a processed edible oil, which is removed from the mature coconuts. It is a colourless water insoluble liquid and obtained by the hot and cold extraction processes. The nutritional components of VCO are mainly contributed to by lauric acid, its primary content.

Thermochemical digestion is a rapid technology of biowaste management resulting in the instant production of organic fertilizer. Characterization and assessment of its suitability as an organic fertilizer is essential for recommendation for crop application. Biowaste and the thermochemical digestate were subjected to physicochemical and biochemical characterization and the compost maturity parameters assessed.
