Rhizosphere bioremediation is a plant assisted bioremediation which has multiple effects in the bioremediation process due to symbiotic association of mycorrhizal fungi, bacteria, actinomyces along the root zone in the mycorhizal soil. Rhizosphere considered as an Ecological Reme [....] » Read More
Strain sensors in the form of Buckypaper (BP) infiltrated with various polymers are considered a viable option for strain sensor applications such as structural health monitoring and human motion detection. Graphene has outstanding properties in terms of strength, heat and curren [....] » Read More
The bacterial community structure along with their role in predicted metabolism in the wastewater of Indian Paper Industries is poorly understood. In the present work, effort has been made to characterize the bacterial diversity using 16S (V3-V4 region) rRNA gene amplicon sequen [....] » Read More
The research aims to carry out the fixed-bed column study of phenol removal from wastewater by low-cost natural bioadsorbent neem leaves. The neem leaves were characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR and BET analyzers. The optimum pH of the phenol solution was determined by batch experime [....] » Read More
Ammonia is a potential hydrogen and energy carrier. It has a high capacity for hydrogen. As an energy carrier, ammonia is considered as energy-dense and zero-carbon green fuel. Industrially, ammonia is synthesized by the Haber-Bosch process using iron-based catalyst. The signific [....] » Read More

A global transition to low carbon technologies is required to mitigate the effects of climate change. According to the world resource institute, the energy sector contributed 72% of the global human made greenhouse emissions in 2020. To combat the rising CO2 emission from the tr [....] » Read More
Antibiotics are widely used in aquaculture, stockbreeding, and human medicine. They are of great concern as many of them can induce bacterial resistance and resistant genes even at environmental concentrations. Recently, antibiotics have been detected worldwide in surface waters [....] » Read More
Copper slag (CS) is an industrial by-product from the pyro-metallurgical process of copper. Even though CS is a nonhazardous material, the enormous yearly production (2.2 tons of CS for every ton of copper produced) makes it to be considered as a serious concern in environmental [....] » Read More
Title : Green chemistry offers non-carcinogenic organic semiconductors for thin film transistors
Cristian Ravariu, Universitatea Politehnica Bucuresti, Romania
Few successful semiconductors used in Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFT) are pentacene, tetracene, Alq3. However, these traditional organic semiconductors are based on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as precursors, with a high toxic - carcinogenic potential during the t [....] » Read More
Title : CalAlSil™ Zeolite geopolymers – Green nanotechnology that replace carbon and energy intensive materials
Leon Burgess, Technology Director CalAlSil®, Australia
Zeolite geopolymers are formulated using nano-sized colloids of combined metal oxides to provide a green alternative to concrete, brick and fiberglass. While suspended in an aqueous solution, CalAlSil™’s nano-colloids contain sufficient chemical potential to cure to s [....] » Read More
Title : CO2 capture process of the tomakomai CCS demonstration project
Takashi Sasaki, Plant Engineering Dept, Japan CCS Co Ltd, Japan
The Tomakomai CCS Demonstration Project was launched in FY2012 by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), aiming for the practical use of CCS in Japan around 2020. Between FY2012 to FY2017, the project was commissioned to Japan CCS Co, Ltd (JCCS) by METI, and from FY2 [....] » Read More
Title : Molecular-scale design of novel materials for organic photovoltaics and electronics
Michael Zharnikov, Heidelberg University, Germany
The increasing demands for energy consumption worldwide and environmental issues trigger the development of green, renewable energy sources. These demands can be potentially met by organic photovoltaics (OPV), which, in its turn, relies on design of individual building blocks of [....] » Read More
