Capture, isolation and electrochemical detection of industrially-relevant engineered aerosol nanoparticles using poly (amic) acid, phase-inverted, nano-membranes
(Elsevier, 2014-08-30)
Workplace exposure to engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) is a potential health and
environmental hazard. This paper reports a novel approach for tracking hazardous
airborne ENPs by applying online poly (amic) acid membranes ...
Biofunctionalized poly (amic) acid membranes for absolute disinfection of drinking water
(Elsevier, 2014-12)
The integration of biological building-blocks with synthetic nanomaterials may permit
unprecedented ability to detect, disinfect and completely remove pathogens in water.
We hereby described the synthesis of biodegradable, ...
Reactivity, Characterization of Reaction Products and Immobilization of Lead in Water and Sediments using Quercetin Pentaphosphate
(RSC, 2016)
Lead is currently ranked the number one heavy metal pollutant with
maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 0.015 mg/L. The use of organicsolvent
free methods to immobilize lead from the environment is attracting
the attention ...
Green Remediation of Carbamazepine from Water Using Novel Magnetic Iron Modified Carbonized Baggasse: Kinetics, Equilibrium and Mechanistic Studies
(SCIENCE DOMAIN, 2017-03-15)
Baggasse derived biochar magnetically modified with iron (α-Fe2O3-CBG) was fabricated,
characterized and applied as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of carbamazepine (CBZ), a
pharmaceutically active compound which ...
Reduction of Hexavalent Chromium Using Naturally-Derived Flavonoids
(American Chemical Society, 2012)
Quercetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid that is known to form complexes with metals; a process that reduces the environmental availability of toxic metals such as chromium. We hereby report the first evidence of the ...
Catalytic Reduction of Hexavalent Chromium using Nanostructured Polyamic Acid
(American Chemical Society, 2014)
This paper provides a survey of conventional and emerging techniques that are available for characterizing engineered nanoparticles in complex matrices. Techniques that were considered include microscopy (TEM, SEM, HRTEM, ...
A New Substrate for Alkaline Phosphatase Based on Quercetin Pentaphosphate
(2014-05-22)
We describe the characterization and application of quercetin pentaphosphate (QPP), a new
fluorimetric substrate for the detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. QPP exhibits
major absorbance peaks at 260/ 410 ...
Environmental Applications of Poly(amic acid)-based Nanomaterials
(Electronic Supplementary Material (ESI) for Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 2011)
Photometric sensing of heavy metal ions using a naphthoquinodimethyl-bis-thioamide dye: Selectivity & photophysics of the metal organic complexes
(Elsevier, 2022)
As Mother Nature is experiencing catastrophic environmental pollutions from both natural sources and anthropogenic activities, many scientists have been working around the clock to develop environmentally benign and ...
Synthesis of mesoporous akaganeite functionalized maize cob biochar for adsorptive abatement of carbamazepine: Kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics
(Elsevier, 2022-09-01)
In this work, akaganeite (β-FeO(OH)) impregnated maize cob biochar (Fe-MCB) was prepared by direct hydrolysis, and its adsorptive potential was tested against aqueous solutions of carbamazepine (CBZ), an emerging contaminant. ...
