Kadam, Avinash A.,Jang, Jiseon,Jee, Seung Cheol,Sung, Jung-Suk,Lee, Dae Sung Elsevier 2018 Carbohydrate polymers Vol.194 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were modified with supermagnetic Fe<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> (M-HNTs) and functionalized with chitosan (CTA) (termed as M-HNTs–CTA). Furthermore, M-HNTs–CTA were cross-linked using glutaraldehyde and applied for covalent laccase immobilization (M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I>). Facile-synthesized modified HNTs were structurally characterized by scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analyses. M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I> exhibited 92.74 mg/g of laccase immobilization capacity and 92% of activity recovery. Biochemical properties of M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I> exhibited higher pH and temperature stabilities, with exceptional reusability capabilities until the 11<SUP>th</SUP> cycle. Moreover, M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I> exhibited 87% of 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS)-mediated Direct Red 80 (DR80) decolorization. By the 11<SUP>th</SUP> cycle, M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I> exhibited 33% DR80 decolorization. Therefore, M-HNTs–CTA can function as CTA-modified supermagnetic nonreactors for immobilization of biomacromolecules. The investigated M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I> are thus biocompatible and environment-friendly biocatalysts for degradation of textile waste, such as DR80, and can be rapidly retrieved from aqueous solution by a magnet after decontamination of environmental pollutants.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Chitosan (CTA)-functionalized supermagnetic HNTs (M-HNTs) were synthesized. </LI> <LI> Laccase (<I>Lac</I>) was covalently immobilized on M-HNTs–CTA. </LI> <LI> M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I> exhibited better biocatalysis than free laccase. </LI> <LI> M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I> exhibited excellent degradation of Direct Red 80 (DR80). </LI> <LI> Repeated cycles of DR80 degradation confirmed sustainable and greener biocatalysis. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Remediation of engineered-nanomaterials is an up-coming major environmental concern. This study demonstrates adsorptive-remediation of cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoO NPs) from the water. The α-cellulose-fibers were extracted from waste-paper biomass (WP-αCFs) and magnetized with Fe<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> NPs (M-WP-αCFs). The XRD, FT-IR, and TGA were performed for detailed characterization of the newly developed bioadsorbent. The M-WP-αCFs was then applied for adsorptive remediation of CoO NPs. The adsorptive kinetics of CoO NPs adsorption onto the M-WP-αCFs reveals the pseudo-second-order model. The various adsorption isotherm studies revealed Langmuir is a best-fit isotherm. A prominently high adsorption capacity <I>q<SUB>m</SUB> </I> (1567 mg/g) corroborated extraordinary adsorptive potential of M-WP-αCFs. Furthermore, CoO NPs were adsorbed onto M-WP-αCFs were analyzed by the XPS, VSM, and TEM. Therefore, this study gave rise WP biomass extracted and rapidly-separable nano-biocomposite of ‘M-WP-αCFs’ with a high-capacity for CoO NPs remediation and can be further applied in remediation of several other engineered-nanomaterials.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Office paper waste (WP) extracted α-cellulose fibers (αCFs) was magnetized. </LI> <LI> M-WP-αCFs presented an effective adsorptive-remediation of CoO NPs from the water. </LI> <LI> The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order rate model. </LI> <LI> Langmuir adsorption isotherm model was best fit to the experimental data. </LI> <LI> M-WP-αCFs can be effective for remediation of engineered NPs from the water. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Facile synthesis of pectin-stabilized magnetic graphene oxide Prussian blue nanocomposites for selective cesium removal from aqueous solution

Kadam, A.A.,Jang, J.,Lee, D.S. Elsevier Applied Science 2016 Bioresource technology Vol.216 No.-

This work focused on the development of pectin-stabilized magnetic graphene oxide Prussian blue (PSMGPB) nanocomposites for removal of cesium from wastewater. The PSMGPB nanocomposite showed an improved adsorption capacity of 1.609mmol/g for cesium, compared with magnetic graphene oxide Prussian blue, magnetic pectin Prussian blue, and magnetic Prussian blue nanocomposites, which exhibited adsorption capacities of 1.230, 0.901, and 0.330mmol/g, respectively. Increased adsorption capacity of PSMGPB nanocomposites was attributed to the pectin-stabilized separation of graphene oxide sheets and enhanced distribution of magnetites on the graphene oxide surface. Scanning electron microscopy images showed the effective separation of graphene oxide sheets due to the incorporation of pectin. The optimum temperature and pH for adsorption were 30<SUP>o</SUP>C and 7.0, respectively. A thermodynamic study indicated the spontaneous and the exothermic nature of cesium adsorption. Based on non-linear regression, the Langmuir isotherm fitted the experimental data better than the Freundlich and Tempkin models.

Review on Modeling of Vapor Compression Chillers: District Cooling Perspective

Kadam Sambhaji T.,Hassan Ibrahim,Rahman Mohammad Azizur,Papadopoulos Athanasios I.,Seferlis Panos 대한설비공학회 2020 International Journal Of Air-Conditioning and Refr Vol.28 No.2

Energy consumption and its associated consequences can be reduced by implementing district cooling strategies that supply low temperature water to a wide range of end users through chillers and distribution networks. Adequate understanding, performance prediction and further optimization of vapor compression chillers used widely in district cooling plants have been a subject of intense research through model-based approaches. In this context, we perform an extensive review of different modeling techniques used for predicting steady-state or dynamic performance of vapor compression liquid chillers. The explored modeling techniques include physical and empirical models. Different physical models used for vapor compression chillers, based on physics laws, are discussed in detail. Furthermore, empirical models (based on artificial neural networks, regression analysis) are elaborated along with their advantages and drawbacks. The physical models can depict both steady- and unsteady-state performance of the vapor compression chiller; however, their accuracy and physical realism can be enhanced by considering the geometrical arrangement of the condenser and evaporator and validating them for various ecofriendly refrigerants and large system size (i.e., cooling capacity). Apparently, empirical models are easy to develop but do not provide the necessary physical realism of the process of vapor compression chiller. It is further observed that DC plants/networks have been modeled from the point of view of optimization or integration but no efforts have been made to model the chillers with multiple VCR cycles. The development of such models will facilitate to optimize the DC plant and provide improved control strategies for effective and efficient operation.

Phosphomolybdic Acid Supported on Silica Gel as an Efficient and Reusable Catalyst for Cyanosilylation of Aldehydes

Kadam, Santosh T.,Kim, Sung-Soo Korean Chemical Society 2008 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.29 No.7

Phosphomolybdic acid supported on silica gel (PMA-$SiO_2$) is an efficient catalyst for the activation of TMSCN for the facile cyanosilylation of various aldehydes. Cyano transfer from TMSCN to aldehyde proceeds smoothly at rt in presence of 0.8 mol % of PMA-$SiO_2$ leading to a range of cyanosilylether in excellent yield (mostly over 93%) within short reaction time (30 min). The catalyst can be recovered and reused several times without loss of activity.
