Biogas production from organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) not only helps in solid waste management but also combat the food vs fuel dilemma. The presence of lignocellulosic material and other complex compounds in OFMSW hinder biogas production. Therefore, pretreatment is an essential step to increase the hydrolysis rate by converting...

The present study describes preparation of cellulose incorporated magnetic nano-biocomposites (CNPs) by using cellulose as base material. The prepared CNPs were characterised by SEM, EDAX, TEM, XRD, and FT-IR and found to exhibit an intrinsic peroxidase-like activity with a Km and Vmax of 550 μM and 3.8 μM/ml/min, respectively. The CNPs exhibited h...

Mercury (Hg), the environmental toxicant, is present in the soil, water, and air as it is substantially distributed throughout the environment. Being extremely toxic even at low concentration, its remediation is utterly important. Therefore, it is necessary to detoxify the contaminant within the acceptable limits before threatening the environment....
