The objective of study is to test the role of access to finance between environment friendly technological adoption model for reshaping green consumer adoption pattern. For this, fuzzy-analytic approach is applied on Chinese model. The study findings highlighted that the environment friendly business initiatives must be maintained for longer durations to maintain environmental stability while time-honored techniques of controlling the environment evolve. In China, the technology acceptance model (TAM) in eco-friendly e-commerce increases consumer adoption goals for ecologically responsible items and creates new avenues for securing funding. The theoretical underpinnings of this study come from the fields of rational choice and planned behavior. Fifteen Chinese e-commerce professionals provided information for the research. Pythagorean fuzzy (PAHP) and FTOPSIS techniques are used to predict the results. The research results provide light on how TAM shapes the mindset, values, and goals of eco-conscious online shoppers in China, allowing them to get financial access while also helping to preserve the country's natural resources. Both theoretical and practical suggestions suggested directions to the key stakeholders to obtain financial access so that green consumer adoption may enhance for towards the adoption of environment friendly technology models.

The bioremediation method is considered an economical and environmentally friendly strategy for the remediation of oil-contaminated soils. However, some oil field areas have extreme environmental conditions that make it difficult to establish microbes for bioreme-diation. In this study, bacteria were isolated from oil-contaminated soils of the Dehloran oil fields, which have very harsh soil and weather conditions.

Ectoine is a high-value protective agent with extensive applications in the fields of fine chemicals and biopharmaceuticals, and it is naturally synthesized by Halomonas in extreme environment, however, the current production level cannot meet the growing market demand. In this study, we aimed to develop an efficient and environmentally friendly ectoine production process using Bacillus licheniformis as the host organism. Through introducing ectoine synthetase gene cluster ectABC from Halomonas elongate, as well as optimizing ectABC expression by promoter and 5'-UTR optimization, ectoine titer was increased to 0.

Electronic address:

Silk/polyamide fabric inherits the advantages of natural and synthetic fibers, making them remarkable in textile and garment field. However, the use of synthetic chemicals for color construction and functionalization of silk/polyamide fabrics is problematic because of their non-renewable resources and harmful effects on the environment. Furthermore, achieving even color construction of silk and polyamide fibers in one bath is challenging due to their significant differences in chemical structure and surface properties.

State Key Laboratory of Environment-friendly Energy Materials, Sichuan Co-Innovation Center for New Energetic Materials, CAEA Innovation Center of Nuclear Environmental Safety Technology, School of National Defence Science & Technology, Southwest University of Science and Technology, Mianyang 621010, China.

With the development of the nuclear industry, the direct discharge of uranium-containing wastewater has become increasingly harmful to the environment. A novel graphene oxide-supported and phosphoric-crosslinked chitosan gel bead (C-PGCB) with excellent uranium uptake capability was successfully fabricated to treat uranium-containing wastewater. The experimental results showed that the introduction of PO and CO bonds through phosphoric acid crosslinking could greatly improve the capturing ability of chitosan-based materials, which could reach 97.
