Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

A better future for humanity demands improved chemical processes that are more efficient and able to use several types of feedstocks, with less environmental damage. Expansion of drought is one of the adverse effects of climate change that affects crop and livestock production in many countries of the world. Another area explores environmental remediation by trapping organic compounds produced, the carbon industry, and carbon dioxide and other hazardous gases, such as NO, NO2, NH3 and volatile organic compounds. Liquid wastes containing heavy metals is also another challenge to the environment. Nano-fertilizers play a vital role in the improvement of production in the wide array of crops, The nutrient use efficiency of conventional fertilizers hardly exceed 30–35 %, 18–20 %, and 35–40 % for N, P, and K respectively, which remained constant for the past several decades, Nano-fertilizers are known to release nutrients slowly and steadily for more than 30 days which may assist in improving the nutrient use efficiency without any associated ill-effects. The production of zeolite/nitrogen and phosphorous sources nanocomposites was performed under a mild condition using environmentally friendly raw materials as a new green chemistry method. as a smart fertilizer to improve crop yield and soil productivity.
