The science of nanomaterials has taken giant leaps during the last three decades. Not only has the synthesis of nanomaterials become easier and more accessible, their integration in existing technologies is also becoming ...

Carbon nanomaterials (C.N.s) have received tremendous interest in nanotechnology due to their unique properties and flexible dimensional structure. The study of carbon-based nanomaterials (C.N.s) for biomedical applications ...

As sustainability becomes an increasingly important business factor, companies are looking for decision support tools to assess the impacts associated with their manufacturing operations and supply chain activities. Life ...

The dairy sector in India is the largest milk producer in the world. Substantial amounts of freshwater and energy are consumed during milk processing with concomitant impacts on sustainability. In this chapter, we study ...

The adsorption of a molecule at the liquid–vapor interface is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by several processes occurring at the molecular scale. In this chapter, we focus on the role of density fluctuations at ...

Aqueous formic acid (FA) catalytic dehydrogenation to hydrogen (H2) is a potential green H2 source under ambient conditions (in air). We show that commonly studied Pd nanoparticles supported on CeO2 provide low H2 selectivity ...

Materials Advances for Sustainable Environment and Energy: Theory, Status, and Challenges, book concisely summarise the possible ways to harvest hydrogen from water and also reduce CO2 into various hydrocarbons. A ...

Bechamp process is a well-known process for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds using zero valent iron powder and acid. Reduction of p-nitro toluene (PNT) to p-toluidine (PT) is a process of three steps in series, ...
