Functionalized nanofibers in gas sorption process: a critical review on the challenges and prospective research.

Air pollution has become the most important environmental and human health threat as it is accounting for about 7 million deaths across the globe every year. Particulate matter (PM) derived from the combustion of fossil fuels, biomass, and other agricultural residues pollutes the atmospheric air which affects the quality of the environment and poses a great threat to human health. Ecological imbalance, climatic variation, and cardiovascular and respiratory problems among humans are significant extortions due to PM pollution.

Sustainable organic waste management using vermicomposting: a critical review on the prevailing research gaps and opportunities.

Logistic growth of human population, exponential rate in agronomic industries and feeble waste management practices have resulted in the massive generation of organic wastes. Vermicomposting is one of the eco-biotechnological practices to efficiently transform them into stable and nutrient-rich organic manure with the synergetic actions of earthworms and soil microbiota. Vermicompost, a derivative product has the desirable physicochemical traits such as excellent porosity, buffering actions, aeration and water holding capacity.

Metanil Yellow dye adsorption using green and chemical mediated synthesized manganese ferrite: An insight into equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics.

Green Manganese Ferrite (GMF) and Chemical mediated Manganese Ferrite (CMF) were designed and prepared via in situ co-precipitation method and their adsorption potential was compared using the model dye, Metanil Yellow (MY). Previously, an extract of aquatic macrophyte and metal chloride were employed for the development of ecofriendly GMF. Alternatively, CMF has been synthesized through chemical co-precipitation from metal chloride precursors.

Transdermal drug delivery systems for the effective management of type 2 diabetes mellitus: A review.

Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by either insufficient insulin production or the inability to take it up for the glycemic regulation in the human body. According to WHO reports, T2DM will be the seventh-largest syndrome resulting in mortality by 2030. To tackle this chronic metabolic disorder, the person with diabetes population depends on subcutaneous administration (Sub-Q) of insulin and certain oral hypoglycemic drugs.

Fenalan Yellow G adsorption using surface-functionalized green nanoceria: An insight into mechanism and statistical modelling.

In the present study, green nanoceria (gNC) was synthesized and surface-functionalized (sf-gNC) with amine moieties through chemical means and used as an adsorbent for the removal of Fenalan Yellow G (FYG) from the aqueous solution. Prior to the adsorption process, the optical, structural and textural characteristics of the nanomaterial ensured the presence of highly crystalline and monodisperse nanoceria with the functionalized amine group on their surfaces. The effects of the independent variables of the FYG removal process including initial solution pH, adsorbent dose, initial adsorbate concentration and time were examined for the percent removal.
