For the legalization movement, hemp provides a useful rhetorical tool: It is billed as an environmentally friendly, versatile crop with economy-boosting potential, and its illegality highlights the futility of prohibition while underscoring the benefits of legalization.
Engineered wetland systems are a passive treatment technology which are versatile, environmentally-friendly, and cost-effective for the remediation of acid mine drainage (AMD) and leachate.
Plasma surface treatment is an environmentally benign, fast and versatile technology.
It can also be used as a bio-inspired, versatile and environmentally friendly processing route for porous materials and composites.
Since polyethylene glycol (PEG) is one of the most versatile biopolymer, environmentally benign and already used in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries, much of the research interest has been focused on developing new methods of PEGylation.
Since treatment of polymers or composites by non-thermal plasmas is a fast, versatile and environmentally friendly surface modification technique, the plasma treatment of C3D/EP composites is investigated in this paper.
Due to the exclusion of sophisticated synthesis of PEG containing stabilizers, additional surfactants, or reducing agents, this approach provides a remarkably simple, versatile, and environmentally benign protocol to prepare PEGylated noble-metal nanocrystals.
When successfully combined with a versatile and environmentally benign solvent system such as supercritical fluids (SCFs), continuous processing can be seen to be suitable for a wide variety of reactions (hydrogenation, hydroformylation, alkylation, etc).. which can be conducted efficiently in an environmentally sensitive way.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative, metabolically versatile and environmentally ubiquitous bacterial species that is capable of surviving in a variety of animal and plant hosts and causing opportunistic infections in humans.
Hypervalent iodine reagents have found wide application in organic synthesis as versatile, efficient, and environmentally sustainable reagents.
