The Developed System of Continuous Utilization of Carbon Dioxide, Enrichment of the Atmosphere with Oxygen and Production of Biofuel Using the Resulting Concentrate of Rapidly Multiplying Microalgae
Abstract: It is known that microorganisms, such as microalgae, during photosynthesis utilize carbon dioxide and enrich the atmosphere with oxygen. Microalgae, on the other hand, can be converted into biofuels by extracting fatty acids from macromolecules known as lipids. Recovery of this fatty acid traditionally requires the removal of most of the water from the microalgae resulting in biomass slurry. The method developed earlier permitted to obtain a high-quality concentrate of …

pH-Responsive Smart Polymer Nanocomposites for Anti-Corrosive Coatings
Abstract: Metallic corrosion under adverse marine and industrial conditions imposes gigantic financial burdens and risks worldwide. Conventional waterproofing waterborne epoxy has passive barrier protection, but is also inherently microporous, lacking intrinsic repair ability against mechanical damage and thus rapidly decays. This is a critical gap that this work tries to bridge by designing a new pH-responsive hybrid polymer nanocomposite by using polyethyleneimine-tannic acid-cerium functionalized boron nitrate nanosheets with chitosan-capped mesoporous silica …

E-Waste Toxicity and Its Environmental Impact, Challenges, and Solutions for Sustainable Waste Management in India
Abstract: Introduction: E-waste describes any electronic component that is obsolete or no longer functional. The ever-increasing public concern of e-waste in India stems predominantly from the aggressive expansion of the electronics industry along with insufficient recycling and disposal practices. Lead, mercury, and cadmium in e-waste pose serious risks to human health and the environment by polluting air, soil, and water. Informal recycling methods further exacerbate these hazards through unsafe practices. This …
