      Laboratory Intern at Material Research laboratory KIIT university

      As a laboratory intern, I have worked on the following research areas: Management of solid Agro waste like rice straws through its utilisation and towards the processing of value added materials like cellulose which will further be employed as a metal supported catalyst for showing the photocatalytic reaction, adsorption and antibacterial effects . The obtained cellulose could further be employed as a smart textile material like cellulose sheet. We synthesised reduced graphine oxide through modified Hummers method. I co_authored a review paper titled "Advancing pharmaceutical wastewater treatment :A comprehensive review on application of photocatalytic membrane reactor_based hybrid approaches" It was published in the Journal of water processing Engineering, Elsevier (impact factor :07). One research paper will be communicated very soon based on Adsorption of malachite green from synthetic solution using activated heated treated clay Show less
