EMERGING POROUS NANOPARTICLES
FROM BIOWASTES AND ITS
APPLICATIONS
D
ue to ever-growing human progress specially in technology has left many
wastes behind. Segregating the biowastes is big headache and due this
environment is heavily polluted. Working in this sector is utmost importance
for keeping future generation healthy. Time has arrived to treat biowastes in
to useful manner so that one can adopt waste to wealth approach. Porous
nanoparticles are having unique advantage due to their porous structure.
Obtaining porous structure is the state-of-the-art technology and it offers
many benefits for various applications. Carbon nanospheres from biowastes
are having inbuilt porous structure due to their lignocellulosic nature present in
biowastes. These emerging porous nano-structures from biowastes has been
used extensively in energy, water and health. Present talk summarizes the
overview of such porous nanostructures and their characterization along with
unique applications in supercapacitors, waste water treatment, antimicrobial
studies etc. This method offers low cost devices to the market, highly stable,
easy bulk production and environmentally friendly.
