CDs in biodegradation-based soil remediation under aerobic conditions
The non-toxic, biodegradable cyclodextrins (CDs) can solubilize poorly soluble organic contaminants such as PAHs, PCBs, chlorinated solvents, etc. via molecular
CD-enabled elektrokinetic extraction of pollutants from soil
The electrokinetic extraction process removes metals and polar organic contaminants from low-permeability soil, mud, sludge, and marine dredging by applying
Cyclodextrins in biodiesel production
The shortage in fossil fuels accelerated the research in production of biodiesel. Biodiesel is typically produced by transesterification of vegetable
Self-decontaminating biocatalyst against nerve gases
Chemical warfare agents (CWA) are one of the most brutal weapons created by mankind [1]. CWAs are inexpensive and are
Biodegradable nanofiber membranes for waste water decontamination
Novel biodegradable nanofilter membrane (BCD-PDA@PLA) was developed by electrospinning poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) nanofibers as the scaffold, which were then surface
CD-containing electrospun filtering media
A recently published book on electrospun filtering media contains a detailed overview on cyclodextrin-containing nanowebs used for water purification and
New books on cyclodextrins
Three new books on various aspects of cyclodextrin research and applications have been recently published. 1. Cyclodextrin Fundamentals, Reactivity and
