Photocatalytic performance of Co3O4/Na-Alginate nanocomposite for the dynamic removal of direct red 31 dye: Degradation and mechanical pathways
Nanomaterials in the environment: applications and effects
This study examines the use of Co3O4 nanocomposite as a photo-catalyst in aqueous solution for photocatalytic degradation of dyes under UV. It has been observed that substrate concentrations, catalyst, pH, oxidant present and temperature, effect on dye degradation. The characterization of...
Effective removal of Direct Orange 26 dye using copper nanoparticles synthesized from Tilapia fish scales
Nanomaterials in the environment: applications and effects
The performed work reports the manipulation of a collective local surplus solid (fish scales of tilapia) for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles. The technique was so customary to establish to be green, clean for the environment, and less expensive. Copper nanoparticles were synthesized using...

Nanotechnology is the newest and one of the most promising areas of research in modern medical sciences. Metal nanoparticles possess extraordinary optical, thermal, chemical properties and are being widely used in industrial, electronics, and biomedical fields. It has presented its potential to...
Eco-friendly isolation of tannin based natural colorant from coconut coir (Cocos nucifera) for dyeing of bio-mordanted wool fabric
General
Due to hazardous effluent load of synthetic dyes, the global community is now seeking inclusion of natural products particularly green dyes and pigment in various fields. Current study has been concerned with utilization of eco-friendly tools for isolation of colorants from plant wastes such as...
Ecofriendly dyeing of microwave treated cotton fabric using reactive violet H3R
Green Chemistry and Sustainable Development
The urge of environmental friendly techniques in textile processing is gaining much attention due to high risks of effluent load causing eco-imbalance. For the present study, the cotton fabric and Reactive Violet H3R dye solution were treated with microwave radiation for 2, 4, 6, 8 & 10 min. at...
