International seminar on the topic of “Sovereignty of Nanotechnology in Environmental Sustainability "

  • Convenor: Dr. Sushila Singhal

  • Date of the program: 19 December 2019

  • No. of participants: More than 150

  • Invited Speaker: Professor Ajay Mishra, College of Engineering, Science and Technology, University of South Africa, Johannesburg

  • Description: Prof. Ajay Mishra, chief guest of the event, addressed the current and emerging issues relating to water quality and water scarcity in his talk “Sovereignty of Nanotechnology in environmental sustainability”. He focused on the development of nanotechnology techniques including enhanced membrane materials and adsorbents for the water treatment/purification and desalination. He also discussed about the development of novel nanomaterials as adsorbents, or the removal of metal ions for water purification and understanding the fate of these engineered nanoparticles in the environment.
