Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Functionalized Carbon Nanodots from Cashew Nut Skin Waste for Bioimaging

Eco-Friendly Synthesis of MgO Nanoparticles from Orange Fruit Waste

Green synthesis of nanoparticles supports reuse, reduce and recycle concept towards the environmental friendly synthesis and also produce the good results compare to chemical methods in some of the cases. MgO nanoparticles can be prepared by solution combustion synthesis using citric acid is a fuel. The same citric acid is available in the nature in so many form just like tamarind, lemon and or...

Amphiphilic antioxidants from "cashew nut shell liquid" (CNSL) waste.

Hydrogenated cardanol and cardols, contained in industrial grade cardanol oil and obtained by distillation of the raw "cashew nut shell liquid" (CNSL), are easily transformed into efficient 4-thiaflavane antioxidants bearing a long alkyl chain on A ring and a catechol group on B ring.

Large scale synthesis of photoluminescent carbon nanodots and their application for bioimaging.

Carbon nanodots (CDs) have been synthesized at gram scale with a high yield (41.8%) by carbonization of sucrose with oil acid in one simple step. The synthesized CDs are monodisperse with a narrow size distribution (average 1.84 nm in size), and show a high fluorescence quantum yield (21.6%) without passivation. The PL intensity of the obtained CDs is pH independent over a range of 2-8. Besides...

Carbon Nanodots: Dual‐Color‐Emitting Carbon Nanodots for Multicolor Bioimaging and Optogenetic Control of Ion Channels (Adv. Sci. 11/2017)

PROCESSING OF CASHEW NUT (Anacardium occidentale L.) AND CASHEW NUT SHELL LIQUID WITH SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER

In this work, our objective was to examine methods for processing cashew nut shell liquid and cashew shell with carbon dioxide and water. Supercritical CO2 was applied for extraction of split cashew shells and near-critical water was applied for reaction of the cashew shell material. In the extractions, it was found that a pressurization-depressurization step that was approximately 1 h gave ext...
