Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient removal of Chromium(VI) from aqueous solution using chitosan grafted graphene oxide (CS-GO) nanocomposite
Melvin S. Samuel,Jayanta Bhattacharya,Sankalp Raj,Needhidasan Santhanam,Hemant Kumar Singh,N. D. Pradeep Singh +5 more
TL;DR: The nano-microstructural investigation validates the successful adsorption of Cr(VI) on CS-GO nanocomposite and proves the material is recyclable up to 10 cycles with the minimum loss in adsorbent capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solution using a magnetic chitosan/graphene oxide composite and its toxicity studies.
Melvin S. Samuel,Sk. Sheriff Shah,Jayanta Bhattacharya,Kalidass Subramaniam,N. D. Pradeep Singh +4 more
TL;DR: The adsorption mechanism of MCGO composite material was well described by Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second order kinetic model, with a high regression coefficient and the material was applied for the removal of lead metal from aqueous solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens; Application for cytotoxicity effect on A549 cell line and photocatalytic degradation of p-nitrophenol.
TL;DR: The study elucidates the AgNPs synthesized using cellfree culture supernatant can be used for the elimination of hazardous pollutants from wastewater and exhibits significant activity on A549 cells, which was dosedependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on prospective production of biofuel from microalgae
Ramya Ganesan,S. Manigandan,Melvin S. Samuel,Rajasree Shanmuganathan,Kathirvel Brindhadevi,Nguyen Thuy Lan Chi,Pham Anh Duc,Arivalagan Pugazhendhi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review summarizes the utilization of algae as the resilient source for biofuel and validates the different stages in generation of biofuels and provides a clarity on III generation bio-fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on biochar production techniques and biochar based catalyst for biofuel production from algae
Nguyen Thuy Lan Chi,Susaimanickam Anto,Tharifkhan Shan Ahamed,Smita S. Kumar,Sabarathinam Shanmugam,Melvin S. Samuel,Thangavel Mathimani,Kathirvel Brindhadevi,Arivalagan Pugazhendhi +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors comprehensively reviewed the biochar based catalyst for fuel production, and the reason for choosing biochar catalyst to fuel production was discussed and the mechanism by which the bio-char catalyst facilitates the fuel production were given for better understanding.
