With an estimated volume of 162 thousand metric tonnes in 2020, India is the world's largest producer of tamarind. The country is home to a number of tamarind species, and production is spread out across the country. Farmers and agro-industries continue to encounter numerous challenges in the...

This goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new coagulant extract from pumpkin seeds (PSC) for removing turbidity and organic compounds from different natural surface waters. Two design experiment methods, namely central composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM...

Various investigations have been carried out to evaluate the infrastructure’s augmented vulnerability owing to concrete carbonation persuaded by the changes in the environment during recent years. Due to global warming and its effect, carbon dioxide emission levels in the atmosphere get increased...

The world is witnessing a boom-in construction industry due to urbanization which leads to over-exploitation of primary resource to match the demands and also increase the land pollution. The advent of nano engineering technology has a significant impact on cementitious materials, particularly...

Tungsten (W) is an emerging contaminant because of its potential toxicity to humans, and biochar (BC) is widely used for soil heavy metal remediation. However, W-biochar-plant interactions remain unknown. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of rice-husk BC on W uptake by lettuce...

Developing an efficient sorbent for removing the highly toxic Cr(VI) is very important, which tackles the threat of Cr(VI) pollution to ecological environment and human health. Herein, a cationic covalent organic framework bearing cationic guanidine (named TATGCl) was synthesized from...

Tamarindus indica shell biochar is employed as an alternate adsorbent precursor for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. It investigated the Tamarindus indica shell biochar's capacity to absorb chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), and Lead (Pb). This study showed the extensive explored how...

The amount of waste is increasing daily; however, the available land area is limited. This problem can be overcome by segregating waste and other alternatives by accelerating landfill stabilization using landfill bioreactors. In this study, anaerobic bioreactor A with daily use of water and the...

Azo dye is a synthetic aromatic dye which are direct dye frequently used in textile industry to colour fibres. It also contributes to the damage of the environment. This study examines the adsorption biochar made from Annona reticulata to remove azo dye from textile wastewater. To improve the...

Groundwater sources play an important role in meeting the day today needs of the present generation. Frequent monitoring of the ground water source plays an important part. The aim of this study is to analyze the quality of the ground water in and around the solid waste dumpsite near Sathyamangalam...

Dimethoate is an organophosphate (OP) insecticide used in agriculture to kill insects. However, information on the effect of the insecticide on non-target organisms like phytoplankton is sparse. When dimethoate enters water ecosystems, it affects the photosynthesis of the phytoplankton cells. The...

The increasing industrialization and urbanization in recent times has led to a significant increase in heavy metal pollution in soil and sediment. The present study aims to evaluate the heavy metal contamination (HmC) in surface sediments collected from the Kosasthalaiyar River located between...

Earth is consisting of land, air and water. Air contains oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, other gases are present above the permissible limit, and it creates effects on human health. It is one of the most important public health issues due to development of urbanization...

Olive mill wastewater (OMWW) contains many phenolic compounds that if discharged without proper treatment, may lead to substantial risks to human health and deterioration of the environment and aquatic systems. In this study, an attempt was made to produce activated carbon from Rice Husk (RH). The...

The application of ceramic Nanofiltration (NF) membrane in brackish water treatment is increasing due to strict water quality standards. Ceramic NF is a widely used membrane process and has replaced reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in many applications due to lower energy consumption and higher flux...
