About
Prasad Puthiyillam is an emerging leader in environmental nanotechnology and water remediation, with a focused expertise in the development of sustainable, low-cost adsorbents for dye-contaminated wastewater treatment. His most impactful contribution to date is the pioneering application of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) for the removal of brilliant green dye from aqueous media. In his landmark 2021 study, he demonstrated that this naturally abundant, minimally toxic nanomaterial can serve as an exceptionally efficient adsorbent, systematically elucidating the critical factors influencing adsorption capacity, kinetics, and equilibrium through rigorous isotherm and kinetic modeling. This work, which has garnered 25 citations, established a novel, cost-effective pathway for tackling industrial dye pollution. Puthiyillam’s research bridges fundamental materials science with practical environmental engineering, offering scalable solutions for water purification. His innovative use of halloysite nanotubes marks a significant step forward in the search for greener, more accessible remediation technologies, positioning him as a promising voice in the field of applied nanoscience for environmental sustainability.
