Herein, a novel binary graft copolymeric flocculant [St-g-(PAAm-co-PMETAC)] has been developed using starch, polyacrylamide (PAAm) and poly (2-methacryloyloxy ethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride) (PMETAC). The copolymer has been synthesised by grafting of PAAm and PMETAC chains on starch backbone using free radical polymerization. FTIR and H NMR spectral analyses have been used for structural confirmation of developed copolymer. Determination of molecular weight reveals that after grafting of PAAm and PMETAC on starch, the molecular weight as well as radius of gyration have been increased as compared to pristine starch. The surface morphologies of starch and St-g-(PAAm-co-PMETAC) have been assessed by FESEM analysis. TGA/DTG along with MS analyser is able to track the pre-specified compounds over the entire period of degradation temperature. The synthesised graft copolymer i.e. St-g-(PAAm-co-PMETAC) demonstrates brilliant efficiency as flocculant towards the treatment of blast furnace effluent generated in integrated steel plant.

In recent years, increased attention has been given to the effective use of chitin nanofibers (ChNFs). We have developed a method to fabricate thinner chitin nanomaterials, called scale-down chitin nanofibers (SD-ChNFs), by a bottom-up procedure at the nanoscale level, with subsequent disintegration by electrostatic repulsion. The surface modification of SD-ChNFs is anticipated to provide new properties and functions for their practical applications.

In order to meet global food requirement, innovation in agricultural techniques and pesticide delivery system will be required for sustainable food supply with minimal harmful impact on environment. This article discusses the synthesis of hydrogels for use in controlled release formulations (CRFs) to increase agricultural output while reducing ecotoxicity and health risks. These hydrogels were designed by graft-copolymerization reaction of polyacrylamide and polyvinyl sulfonic acid onto agar-alginate marine polysaccharides.

In order to solve the shortcomings of a single flocculant, the inorganic-organic hybrid flocculant SiO-CTS-DMDACC was successfully prepared by grafting copolymerization of chitosan (CTS), dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (DMDACC), and silicon dioxide (SiO). The performance of SiO-CTS-DMDACC in treating papermaking wastewater was investigated, and the mechanism of the flocculation process was analyzed. The results showed that the crystallinity of chitosan was reduced due to the introduction of DMDACC and SiO.

Lignin-based porous carbon, a derivative of lignin, is acknowledged for its cost-effectiveness, stability, and environmental sustainability. It exhibits significant adsorption capacity for the removal of heavy metals and in wastewater treatment, rendering it a highly esteemed adsorbent material. However, the potential of lignin-derived porous carbon for the capture of iodine in environmental contexts has yet to be thoroughly investigated.

Fast-charging lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the key to solving the range anxiety of electric vehicles. However, the lack of separators with high Li transportation rates has become a major bottleneck, restricting their development. In this work, the electrochemical performance of traditional polyethylene separators was enhanced by coating AlO nanoparticles with a novel green binder.
