Articulating Precarious Waters: A Critical Review of Pharmaceutical Contaminants, Their Pathways, and Ecological–Health Risks in the Aquatic Systems of Bihar, India

By Krishna Roy, Umakant Kumar, Amrita Raj Bharti, Animesh Kumar, and Shashi Prabha Dubey

Abstract: The article examines the emerging yet under-documented issue of pharmaceutical contaminants in Bihar’s aquatic environment, focusing on their types, occurrence, sources, and implications for ecology and human health. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products-including antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, beta‑blockers, and hormones – are conceptualized as pseudo-persistent pollutants because continuous inputs from households, healthcare facilities, and…

Chemical Engineering Aspects of Carrageenan Hydrogel–Silver Composite Systems: Synthesis, Structure, and Performance

By Sakshi Chaudhary, Bibhas K. Bhunia, and Jayanand Manjhi

Abstract: This review presents a green chemistry-driven strategy for the synthesis, design, and chemical engineering of carrageenan-based hydrogel matrices embedded with green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for advanced biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Silver nanoparticles were fabricated through an environmentally benign route employing natural biopolymeric reducing and stabilizing agents, eliminating the need for hazardous chemical reagents and minimizing…

Chemical Processing in the E-Kidney Filtration Revolution

By Heena T Shaikh and IR. Dr. Kazi Kutubuddin Sayyad Liyakat

Abstract: The convergence of bioengineering and advanced materials science has catalyzed groundbreaking innovations in renal replacement therapies, most notably in the development of the electronic kidney (e-kidney). Central to the functionality of this compact, wearable filtration system is the integration of in situ chemical processing mechanisms that emulate the nuanced biochemical regulation of the human nephron.…

Evaluation of Kinetic Parameters of Crude Oil Remediation Using Bio-Stimuant of Mint Leaf (Mentha piperita)

By Abraham Peter Ukpaka, Victor Chukwuemeka Ukpaka, Joy Chukwuemeka Peter Ukpaka, and Ukpaka Chukwuemeka Peter

Abstract: Kinetic parameters of crude oil degradation as related to total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) were evaluated. The experiment was set-up using crude oil, loamy soil polluted and addition of bio-stimulant (nutrient based substance). The depletion of the pollutant was monitored within the contact time of 7 to 35 days. At intervals of 7 days samples were…

Getting Rid of Carbon: A New Direction for the Chemical Industry

By V. Basil Hans

Abstract: The chemical industry is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions due to its reliance on fossil-based feedstocks, energy-intensive processing routes, and long-lived capital infrastructure. Achieving international climate targets therefore requires deep decarbonisation across the entire chemical value chain, a transition complicated by technological limitations, economic risks, and systemic operational barriers. This article critically…
