Nanobiotechnology emerged as integration of nanotechnology and biotechnology for developing bioactive, biosynthetic and eco -friendly technology for synthesis of nanomaterials. Nanostructures have great demand in areas such as chemistry, catalysis, electronics, energy, and medical applications. Metallic nano-particles are normally synthesized by wet chemical synthesis techniques using the toxic and inflammable chemicals. Present research work on preparation of silver nano-particles by green nano synthesis method and has advantages over conventional methods involving chemical agents which can cause environmental toxicity. The synthesis technique is a cost effective and environment friendly technique for green nano synthesis of silver nano-particles from varying concentrations of AgNO3 solution and extract of Carica papaya fruit of different concentrations which acts as reducing and capping agent. Characterizations has been done using UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, XRD, particle size analyser and SEM with EDX. Antimicrobial activity was done using Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas.

In this study, an industrial method is provided for the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles by a simple and economical wet chemical precipitation reaction between Zinc Chloride (ZnCl2) and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) at low temperatures less than 80 °C. In first step, Small quantity of ZnO powder is produced in laboratory scale. As-synthesized lab-scale ZnO powders were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Orthogonal experiments were performed to find out the optimal conditions for the maximum yield of ZnO powder. In second step, the process flow diagram (PFD), material & energy balance and design of reactor were done on the basis of lab-scale data. Overall, this research work proposes that ZnO powder can be manufactured easy and economical method which can be used for various branches of industry: rubber, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, textile, electronic etc.

Abstract The hydrocarbon extraction and exploitation using state-of-the-art modern drilling technologies urge the use of biodegradable, environment-friendly drilling fluid and drilling fluid additives to protect the environment and humanity. As more environmental laws are enacted and new safety rules implemented to oust the usage of toxic chemicals as fluid additives, it becomes inevitable that we re-evaluate our choice of drilling fluid additives. Drilling fluids and its additives play a crucial role in drilling operations as well as project costing; hence, it is needed that we develop cost-effective environment-friendly drilling fluid additives that meet the requirements for smooth functioning in geologically complex scenarios as well as have a minimal ecological impact. The current research work demonstrates key outcomes of investigations carried out on the formulation of a sustainable drilling fluid system, where groundnut husk is used as a fluid loss additive and a rheological modifier having no toxicity and high biodegradability. Cellulose was generated from groundnut husk at two varying particle sizes using mesh analysis, which was then compared with the commercially available PAC at different concentrations to validate its properties as a comparable fluid loss retarder additive as well as a rheological modifier. In the present work, various controlling characteristics of proposed groundnut husk additive are discussed, where comparison at different concentrations with a commercially available additive, PAC, is also validated. The API filtration losses demonstrated by the (63–74) µm and the (250–297) µm proposed additive showed a decrease of 91.88% and 82.31%, respectively, from the base mud at 4% concentration. The proposed husk additives acted as a filtrate retarder additive without much deviation from base rheology and with considerably higher pH than the base mud. This investigation indicates that the proposed fluid loss additive and rheological modifier can minimize the environmental hazards and have proved to be a cost-effective eco-friendly alternative in this challenging phase of the hydrocarbon exploration industry.

A simple wet-chemical synthesis method was developed to fabricate Zinc oxide micro-rod clusters. The synthesis process involved the rapid dilution of a zinc-bearing alkaline solution at 150°C in a convection oven on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. The synthesis was carried out by immersing an unseeded ITO substrate in a mixture of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O) and hexamethylenetetramine ((CH2)6N4) aqueous solution. The obtained sample was annealed at 400°C for 2 h. The structural, morphological and optical properties of the synthesized ZnO microstructures were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, respectively. The ZnO rod clusters are hexagonal phase of the wurtzite structure. The crystal grain sizes of the films were found to be 72.6, 84.3 and 66.3 nm for the (100), (002) and (101) crystal planes, respectively. The optical bandgap of the ZnO was determined to be 3.147 eV.

There is a substantial amount of literature dealing with many aspects of synthesis and characterization of pure and doped binary compounds including Mn-doped ZnO which has been widely studied due to its superb properties as a dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS). Aspects concerning doping limits for these compounds is an important stage in the search for new materials. Samples of Zn1-xMnxO nanocrystal were synthesized at temperatures of 180 °C and 200 °C using wet or liquid phase synthesis method. Dopant concentrations x=0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 per cent were studied. Powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of the samples were analyzed with a view to determining the onset of secondary phases and hence the solubility limit of the dopant. The solubility limit for Mn in ZnO samples synthesized at temperature of 200 °C is realized at x <20%. For samples synthesized at temperature of 180 °C, the solubility limit is x <0.5%.

Barium titanate nano-particles were prepared by heating the mixture of barium hydroxide aqueous solution and titania derived from the hydrolysis of Tetra-n-butyl Titanate [Ti-(O-C4H9)4]. The well-crystallized cubic phase BaTiO3 fine particles were obtained by heating at more than 328 K for 24 h. The morphology and size of the obtained nano-particles depended on the heating temperature and the reaction molar ratio Ba/Ti. In addition, the secondary particles with the larger size were obtained at a lower heating temperature. It is considered that the nucleation process of BaTiO3 depended on the heating temperature and the reaction concentration.
