Research Interests

My research work in Analytical and Environmental Chemistry areas for toxic metals, dyes and pharmaceutical residues removal by using batch and column method coupled with analytical techniques, is internationally recognized. The adsorption technologies developed for the removal of pesticides, dyes and toxic metal ions from wastewater are of utmost importance. Research focuses on synthesis and fabrication of electrode materials, microbial fuel cells, preparing and synthesizing various polymeric sorbents (Chelating materials, Graphene Oxide and CNT) using different organic moieties, and bio-adsorbents for the remediation of environmental pollutants (trace metals, dyes, pesticides) from water and wastewater. I have published more than 100 articles including chapters, reviews, technical reports and papers. I have also edited Elsevier and Springer Nature books. I am guest editor of many international journals like Polymers MDPI, Journal of Chemistry Hindawi, Frontiers of Environmental Chemistry, Adsorption Science & Technology etc. H-index and citation in Scopus are 23 and 1917 and in Google scholar, H-index and citation are 26 and 2541.
