Green Materials for Wastewater Treatment
No full textInternational audienceThis book reviews health hazards associated with wastewater use and water pollutants. Chapters present applications of green materials made of agricultural waste, activated carbon and magnetic materials for wastewater treatment. The removal of toxic metals using algal biomass and the removal of toxic dyes using chitosan composite materials are also discussed. The book includes reviews on the removal of phenols, pesticides, and on the use of ionic liquid-modified activated carbon for the treatment of textile wastewater
Photosensitization of ZnO nanowire-based electrodes using one-step hydrothermally synthesized CdSe/CdS (core/shell) sensitizer
No full textOne-step assembled CdSe/CdS (core/shell) quantum dots (QDs) were deposited onto ZnO nanowires (NWs) and characterized for their structure, morphology and optical analyses. As deposited ZnO NWs array were wurtzite in structure. During a single hydrothermal cycle a layer of ~4nm CdSe/CdS QDs was formed onto ZnO NWs and overgrowth evidenced with an additional 2-5 layers due to which, (a) absorbance density, and (b) Raman Shift of 1LO mode (from 286cm-1 to 296cm-1) increased and (c) the photoluminescence intensity of the near band-edge emission peak at ~379nm decreased. Due to more accumulation of CdSe/CdS, photoelectrochemical cells of ZnO-based photoelectrodes designed for 1-4 cycles of CdSe/CdS onto indium-tin-oxide substrate demonstrated increasing power conversion efficiency trend from 0.18% to 1.29% whereas, for 5th cycle power conversion efficiency, due to an increased series resistance, decreased to 1.12% on account of an accumulation of several QDs
Recent Developments in Adsorption of Dyes Using Graphene Based Nanomaterials
No full textDyes are frequently let out into the environment along with wastewater
sans necessary treatment. Fast, cost-effective, scientific and suitable elimination of
dyes from wastewaters has been an important problem for researchers. Adsorption
technique is a robust, well studied, widely employed and promising water treatment
method. In the last decade, nanocarbon based adsorbents have gained attention in
water treatment. These adsorbents are usually produced from low cost substrate and
are found to be highly efficient than other adsorbents. Recently, graphene based
nanomaterials are widely used as adsorbents to sorb various toxic organic contaminants
from aqueous solutions. It showed high efficiency due to its chemical
stability, structure, surface area and surface functional groups. So graphene are
called as ‘miracle material’. Recently nanographene composites are proven to be a
likely adsorbent for eliminating contaminants from the industrial effluents. In this
chapter, we have presented briefly the synthesis of graphene and its other variants
viz., GO, rGO and nano graphene composites. This chapter presents a small
introduction to adsorption principles and adsorption isotherms. It explains the
synthesis and use of nano graphene materials for the remediation of dyes. It also
consolidates the recent literature available for dye adsorption using graphene
materials and its mechanism
Social trauma and the mu-opioid system in depression
No full textThe overarching thesis under investigation is that the endogenous opioid system plays a key role in depression subsequent to traumatic childhood social experiences. This is suggested by the fact that animal work indicates that mu-opioids robustly mediate separation-distress, and that early social stressors lead to long term dysregulation in key related circuitries and neuroanatomical structures

The relationship between co-authorship, currency of references and author self-citations
No full textThis paper attempts to identify the relationship between co-authorship and the currency of the references and author self-citations in the key journals of environmental engineering. The results show that the self-citation rate of co-authored articles is higher than in single-authored articles. A statistically significant correlation is identified between the numbers of co-authors, the rate of author self-citing and the author self-cited; though it was a low correlation. The value of coefficient correlation between the number of co-authors and the author self-citing rate is slightly higher than that between the number of co-authors and the author self-cited rate, which indicates that the number of co-authors hold a stronger correlation with the self-citing rate than the self-cited rate. Meanwhile, self-citing references are found to be more up-to-date than references to others. The range of publication years of self-citing references is smaller than that of references to others, indicating that researchers tend to preferentially cite their own recent works. There is no significant difference in the latest references between self-citing references and the references to others. It might result from electronic journals that provide an easy access to the most current publications.補正完畢國外SSCIY紙本電子版HU
