The use of plant extract in the biosynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) can be an eco-friendly approach and have been suggested as a possible alternative to classic methods namely physical and chemical procedures. This study was designed to examine the structural chemistry of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using both conventional heating and microwave irradiation methods.To o...

In Japan, greenhouse gas emissions from rice production, especially CH4 emissions in rice paddy fields, are the primary contributors to global warming from agriculture. When prolonged midseason drainage for mitigating CH4 emissions from rice paddy fields is practiced with environmentally friendly rice production based on reduced use of synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, Japanese ric...

Environmental awareness continues to rise, and customers of all types are realizing the importance of eco-friendly products which are essential to protect our planet. Eco-designer creates designs that are demanded by markets. Green design rules are needed to support the implementation of environmental features in the practical design situation. Green design or Design for Environment (DfE) is a ...

Natural insecticides from plant origin against mosquito vectors have been the main concern for research due to their high level of eco-safety. Control of mosquitoes in their larval stages are an ideal method since Aedes larvae are aquatic, thus it is easier to deal with them in this habitat. The present study was specifically conducted to explore the larvicidal efficacy of different plant parts...

In this study, an eco-friendly process utilizing a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide along with autoclaving and sonication was developed, accomplishing both carbon nanotube size reduction and hydroxyl functionalization.

Silica supported phosphomolybdic acid, an eco-friendly heterogeneous catalyst, has been found to be highly efficient for Friedlander synthesis of quinolines in excellent yields. A variety of ketones afford the quinolines smoothly. The catalyst can be easily recovered and reused.

Nanostructured hybrids of graphene oxide and palladium were fabricated by means one-step solvent-free gas phase treatment with the aliphatic amines 1-octadecylamine 1,8-diaminooctane, followed in situ decoration liquid medium using chloride as precursor citric acid a mild environmentally friendly stabilizing reducing agent. The proposed synthesis method represents an eco-friendly alternative fo...
