The reduction in size leads to the introduction of novel electrical, mechanical, chemical and optical properties in materials. The properties of nano ZnO are of particular interest because of its multi-dimensional applications ...

Dissimilatory Iron Reducing Bacteria (DIRB) in specific has found wide range of application in biobeneficiation for removal of iron impurities from different ores and in bioremediation for detoxification of heavy metals, ...

Rice husk ash is an agro-waste of rice milling industries produced more than 20 million tons per annum globally, causing various environmental and public health issues. The first part of this study attempted to analyse its ...

The perovskite semiconductors, having intrinsic polarization induced by the non-centrosymmetric metal center, have superior ability for the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. In order to exploit this highly ...

The growth of single phase polycrystalline multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) with increasing sintering temperature has been studied. A new process of synthesis has been adopted to observe the effect of low sintering temperature ...

In the present work, Mo coating (S1) and Mo-TiN coatings with varied compositions (S2: Mo-5 wt% TiN, S3: Mo-10 wt% TiN, and S4: Mo-15 wt% TiN) were deposited using atmospheric plasma spray system on to Al-Si substrate. The ...

Composites of Al-graphene (0.2-0.6 wt%) were successfully prepared by solid state technique. Powder composites were prepared by ball milling technique. Ball milling was carried out under argon atmosphere. 4 hrs of milling ...

Metals are generally produced from ores. The extraction processes involve carbon in one form or other, due to thermodynamic advantages. The extraction process emits a lot of detrimental CO2, responsible for the greenhouse ...

Discontinuous silicon carbide particle (SiCp) impregnated aluminium matrix composites were developed following stir casting method and subjected to thermal treatment under T6 condition. Optical micrographs of the composite ...

Traditionally, Iron is produced from reduction of different high/medium grade iron ores by carbothermic reduction using carbon, which is mainly obtained from coking coals. The use of coal produces a large amount of CO2. ...
