Metal-Organic Frameworks, Synthesis, Characterization and Environmental Applications
Abstract: Clean energy gases such as H2 and CH4 are considered as promising candidates for the replacement of traditional fossil fuels. While gas storage is a difficult issue to challenge, the existence of toxic pollutant gases has posed a more thought-provoking concern. Recently, considerable research efforts have been devoted to developing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for the effective and energy-efficient separation, storage, or capture of the related gases. In this article, we …

Overview on the Synthesis and Characteristics of Polystyrene
Abstract: Polystyrene, a synthetic aromatic polymer, is one of the most wide spread polymers in the world. The monomer is styrene (vinylbenzene)- a petroleum based liquid hydrocarbon. Polystyrene can be solid or foamed. It was first discovered by a German apothecary Edmon Simon as far back as in 1839 from the resin of Turkish sweet gum trees. Polystyrene is formed by a polymerization method known as chain growth. Physically, it is …

Model Analysis of Bacteria Growth Rate in Polluted Stagnant Water Environment
Abstract: The Total Bacteria Count (TBC) analysis was carried out to investigate growth rate of microorganism in the stagnant water media. The analysis was also conducted to ascertain if the polluted water media can favour the growth bacteria, and hence, assist in the degradation Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) content in water. The bacteria growth was slow from day 1 up to day 56, but began to increase rapidly between 70th and …

Eco-Friendly Smoking – A Clean Smoke for the Benefits of Climate and Foodstuffs
Abstract: The clean smoke smoking process protects the environment and ensures safe food. Smoking is indeed one of the oldest methods for preserving food; however, it is not quite the healthiest or the most beneficial to the environment. Despite all that tradition, a number of pollutants, primarily ash, tar and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are produced from smouldering wood, penetrate the food along with the smoke and are subsequently consumed. …
