Algal polysaccharides for 3D printing: A review
Mandal Shovon, Negi Gurpreet Kaur, Corcoran Alina A, Agrawal Ruchi, Dubey Mukul, Hunt Ryan W
| 2022
Algae hold particular promise as a feedstock for biomaterials, as they are capable of producing a wide variety of polymers with the properties required for 3D printing. However, the use of algal polymers has been limited to alginate, agar, carrageenan, and ulvan extracted from seaweeds. Diverse algal taxa beyond seaweeds have yet to be explored. In this comprehensive review, we discuss available algal biomaterials, their properties, and emerging applications in 3D printing techniques.

3D printing by fused deposition modeling (FDM) is an advanced additive manufacturing technology for making thermoplastic-based structures. Several studies have recently investigated 3D printing of polylactic acid (PLA) with biomass resources like cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and whole biomass. Such biodegradable composites are better for the environment and can be used to replace non-biodegradable composites in a variety of applications. Therefore, a deep understanding of printing such biocomposites is needed for supporting such manufacturing.

Assessment of the adverse effect of crop residue burning on respiratory health: a case study of Patiala, India
Uttreja Mahima , Ghosh Sujit Kumar, Krishnan Anand, Lal Kanhaiya , Sehgal Meena
| 2022
Crop residue burning (CRB) is one of the top contributors to ambient air pollution (particulate matter 2·5 [PM2·5]) in north-western India. Despite the magnitude of the problems associated with high particulate amounts, there are few epidemiological data in India on the associated health effects of CRB, focusing on rural populations. The present study was conducted to quantify the effect of PM2·5 from CRB on the respiratory health of agricultural community in the Nabha block in Patiala, India.
Harnessing the potential of microalgal species Dunaliella: A biofuel and biocommodities perspective
Kalra Rishu, Gaur Suchitra; Goel Mayurika
| 2022
Dunaliella is a green microalgae genus that has been studied most significantly due to its ability to produce substantial amounts of industrial pigments, lipids, glycerol, vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Dunaliella's characteristic include the ability to survive in extreme saline conditions, tolerance to high temperatures, wastewater treatment, biofuel production, a unique production of secondary metabolites, and more, making this organism an ideal candidate for commercial use. Furthermore, one of the Dunaliella species, D.
Bio-Synthesis of Aspergillus terreus Mediated Gold Nanoparticle: Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, Antifungal and In Vitro Cytotoxicity Studies
Mishra Rahul Chandra, Kalra Rishu, Dilawari Rahul , Goel Mayurika, Barrow Colin J.
| 2022
Gold nanoparticles (GNP) were bio-fabricated utilizing the methanolic extract of the endophytic isolate Aspergillus terreus. The biosynthesised gold nanoparticles (GNP023) were characterised using UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis); transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The bio-fabricated GNP023 displayed a sharp SPR peak at 536 nm, were spherically shaped, and had an average size between 10–16 nm.

| 2022
Still, in the current period, non-renewable energy sources have contributed to fulfi ll the current energy requirement and it causes the deficit of available stocks with emission of pollutant byproducts components. In recent years, efforts were made to harness the sustainable/ renewable fuels from renewable sources/ waste, complex organic matters, including biomass at global level. Researchers have put attention on harnessing energy from wastewater and MFCs systems.
Green transformation in the iron and steel industry in India: Rethinking patterns of innovation
Mallett Alexandra and Pal Prosanto
| 2022
There is growing acknowledgement that industrial processes including the production of iron and steel are a pivotal area ripe for technological change if we are to effectively decarbonize, while concurrently industrialize countries of the Global South in a sustainable way. Innovation is an important element in advancing green (decarbonizing and reducing the environmental footprint) steel production. A narrow view of green steel production points to incremental changes that reduce carbon and other environmental footprints.
