Sustainable Bio-Based Adsorbents for Simultaneous and Efficient Removal of Hazardous Dyes from Aqueous Solutions.

Dyes provide a notable environmental issue as a result of their intrinsic poisonous and carcinogenic characteristics. An estimated 60,000 metric tons of dyes has been discharged into the environment, leading to a substantial increase in water pollution. The mitigation of these dyes is a substantial and intricate challenge.

β-Carotene laden antibacterial and antioxidant gelatin/polyglyceryl stearate nano-hydrogel system for burn wound healing application.

Worldwide, burn wounds are severe health issues prone to bacterial infections and challenging to treat with traditional wound dressings. Therefore, a highly desirable biological macromolecules-based wound dressing with good antioxidant, antibacterial, biocompatible, and a large surface area is required. Herein, aim to develop a biological macromolecules-based physically cross-linked gelatin/polyglyceryl stearate/graphene oxide (GPGO) hydrogel to treat burn wounds.

A novel sinusoidal design for an electrocoagulation reactor followed by an electro-Fenton reaction and a porous ceramic filter for the treatment of polluted waters.

In this research work, a novel design of an electro-Fenton reactor for the treatment of polluted water was investigated. In addition to the reactor with iron electrodes, a ceramic filter was also used. An electrical circuit was designed to change the cathodes and anodes every 24 s via an electrical relay between the electrodes.

Nanoporous hydrogel absorbent based on salep: Swelling behavior and methyl orange adsorption capacity.

This study used the gas-blowing method to develop a nanoporous hydrogel using poly (3-sulfopropyl acrylate-co-acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) grafted onto salep. The synthesis of the nanoporous hydrogel was optimized by various parameters for maximum swelling capacity. The nanoporous hydrogel was characterized using FT-IR, TGA, XRD, TEM, and SEM analyses.

Role of Alkylamines in Tuning the Morphology and Optical Properties of SnS Nanoparticles Synthesized by via Facile Thermal Decomposition Approach.

The present study reported the synthesis of SnS nanoparticles by using a thermal decomposition approach using tin chloride and thioacetamide in diphenyl ether at 200 °C over 60 min. SnS nanoparticles with novel morphologies were prepared by the use of different alkylamines (namely, octylamine (OCA), dodecylamine (DDA), and oleylamine (OLA)), and their role during the synthesis was explored in detail. The synthesized SnS nanostructures were characterized using an array of analytical techniques.

Comprehensive Review on Zeolite-Based Nanocomposites for Treatment of Effluents from Wastewater.

All humans and animals need access to clean water in their daily lives. Unfortunately, we are facing water scarcity in several places around the world, and, intentionally or unintentionally, we are contaminating the water in a number of ways. The rise in population, globalization, and industrialization has simultaneously given rise to the generation of wastewater.

Hydrogel-Based Adsorbent Material for the Effective Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater: A Comprehensive Review.

Water is a vital resource that is required for social and economic development. A rapid increase in industrialization and numerous anthropogenic activities have resulted in severe water contamination. In particular, the contamination caused by heavy metal discharge has a negative impact on human health and the aquatic environment due to the non-biodegradability, toxicity, and carcinogenic effects of heavy metals.

Synthesis of SnS₂ Nanoparticles and Their Application as Photocatalysts for the Reduction of Cr(VI).

The present study reports the synthesis of SnS2 nanoparticles with different morphologies via a facile thermal decomposition approach.
