Bio-nanocomposite-based packaging materials have gained significance due to their possible applications in food packaging. Cellulose acetate is a biopolymer obtained by acetylation of cellulose and has characteristics such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and high transparency. Introducing iron-based metal-organic frameworks offer good mechani...

Ayurvedic Medicine, or Ayurveda, is a traditional Indian health care system. Research into the medicinal plants utilised in Ayurveda is becoming a global endeavour, and large pharmaceutical companies are investing in novel drug discovery from Ayurvedic sources as a number of clinical studies have demonstrated efficacy of natural products from Ayurv...

Metal-Organic frameworks (MOFs) have been recently gaining much attention due to their larger surface area, thermal stability and tunable pore size. In this study, we synthesized Fe-based MOFs, MIL-88(Fe) (Material Institute Lavoisier). Moreover, a ternary photocatalyst MIL-88 (Fe)/Ag3PO4/GCN (MAG) was successfully pre�pared by mixing Fe-MIL-88(F...

Micropollutant (MP) contamination of water resources has sparked extensive environmental research. These MPs are frequently found in sewage, groundwater, wastewater, drinking water and surface water. This chapter gives the brief overview of the isotherms of MPs from aqueous solution from various adsorbents such as agricultural solid wastes, activat...

The biggest issue in the globe is the environmental pollution, mainly from heavy metals and minerals from industrial effluents. Their concentration has reached risky levels due to the widespread anthropogenic activities such as industrial operations, mining, agricultural processes, and industrial waste materials. Several adsorbents have been utilis...

The study of carbon-based materials (CBMs) have grasped the attention of scientists from various field of science all around the world, like bio-sensing, cancer therapy, drug delivery, etc. This is due to the unique physical, chemical, and biological properties which includes thermal, mechanical, electrical, optical, antibacterial and antimicrobial...

Bio-nanocomposite-based packaging materials have gained interest due to their possible applications in food packaging. Cellulose acetate (CA) is a biopolymer obtained by acetylation of cellulose and has characteristics such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and high transparency. Introducing Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) offer good mechanical...
