Welcome to

Darbha's research group

Environmental Nanoscience Laboratory

"Sustainable environment is essential for sustainable life"

Our laboratory is equipped with start-of-the-art instrumentation that is necessary to conduct experiments relevant to

Quantitative analysis of metals, metal nanoparticles present in water, wastewater, soils, plants and other environmental sample, with sample processing and digestion units

Measurement of hydrodynamic diameter of nano-sized particles with their zeta potential and point of zero charge

Characterization of fluorescence-labelled nanoparticles/nanoplastics, fluorophores, organic pollutants and identifying the humic substances from the aqueous and soil environments.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of plastics in environmental samples, surface functionalization of materials, and quantitative analysis of colored materials

Contact angle analyzer: For interpreting the degree of hydrophilicity of surfaces

Analysis of pesticides, Polychloro biphenyls, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, etc., sample extraction and concentration units

Elemental analyzer: CHNS/O analysis - qualitative and quantitative analasis of C,H,N,S,O of environmental samples such as soils

Development of nanocomposites (based on biochar, hydroxyapatite, charcoal, iron nanoparticles, etc)

To conduct contaminant transport (column) experiments in soils

Kits for real-time simultaneous monitoring of field parameters such as pH, T, TDS, Eh including geographical location

COD digester, fume hood, culture facility for algae

Shaker incubators for sorption experiments

UV shaker incubator for weathering of plastics

Other instrumental facilities within ENL
