Naturally occuring Minerals that are used as fillers in the polymer industry. The present paper discusses the role of natural minerals as cost-effective, environment-friendly materials that improve the strength of the polymers, and improve their physical and mechanical properties of the polymer matrix. Commonly utilized minerals include calcium carbonate, talc, mica, silica, and phyllosilicates, which can constitute 10% to 60% of the polymer composite

Green hydrogen is progressively being identified as indispensable for decarbonising the dynamic global energy landscape. Since the electricity used to power electrolysers represents the dominant component of green hydrogen production costs, streamlining renewable energy (RE) costs is central to making green hydrogen affordable and accessible. In this context, the Capacity Utilisation Factor (CUF), the ratio of actual output to the maximum possible output at full capacity, serves as a robust metric to evaluate the performance of renewable energy plants in real-time.

 This paper focussed on the potential of naturally occurring nano-crystalline minerals in the area of energy production, medical applications, and environmental remediation, using their unique characteri

This paper discusses about the significance of naturally occuring nano-crystalline minerals  on the adsorption and entrapment of critical metals like rare earth and rare metals of National importance. 

In recent years Lithium has emerged as one of the most promising critical metals driving the global green  energy transition. It is extracted from geological resources including pegmatites, granites, clays, and brines. Here, we report a finding of high concentrations of Li (up to ~1000 ppm) in the Paleoproterozoic dolomite samples of the Papaghni Group, the Vempalle formation (1.9-2.0 Ga) of the Cuddapah Supergroup. High lithium concentrations are observed in samples from two drill cores in the Tummalpalle area, which is known for uranium mineralization.
