| Abstract | Lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane) is an organochlorine pesticide and a Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP). Lindane residues have been detected in drinking water sources and development of viable methods for their removal is a global priority. Iron based nanomaterials have been shown to effectively transform chlorinated organic compounds. However, their uses in the treatment of drinking water and beverages have toxicity concerns. In the present study, FeS nanoparticles were synthesized by the wet chemical method and were stabilized using a polymer from the basidiomycetous fungus, Itajahia sp. The stabilized nanoparticles could degrade lindane (5 mg/l) with an efficiency of 94% in 8 h. In a subsequent microbiological treatment, residual lindane, its partially degraded intermediates as well as the stabilizing polymer could be completely degraded in 1 h. The latter process facilitated aggregation of FeS, which could be easily removed by filtration. This novel integrated nano-biotechnological method holds the promise of providing an efficient, safe, and cost-effective solution to the problem of removal of chlorinated pollutants from water sources. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
