Abstract Eco‐friendly biochar derived from the cost‐effective and easily accessible agricultural waste corncob has been utilized as an adsorbent for decolorization of real textile dye wastewater (RTDW). Slow pyrolysis was done in a temperature range 450–550 °C with consistent heating rate to produce biochar. The yield reduced increasing pyrolysis. Chemical treatment (BC) sulfuric acid improve adsorption efficiency. Batch studies were carried out RTDW by varying key reaction parameters order...

This study examined the knowledge gap and adoption of improved makhana cultivation technology in Bihar. The research utilized a descriptive design focused on four districts viz. Purnia, Katihar, Darbhanga, Madhubani. During 2022–24, eight villages were purposively selected from these blocks which included Pipra Birpur Purnea block, Mirzapur Lachhmipur Barari Ballupur Kishunpur Bhadurpur Chanuraganj Simra Jhanjharpur block. 120 sample, with fifteen growing farmers randomly chosen each...

Abstract The current study employs the microbial desalination cell (MDC) and uses cost‐effective bio‐based polymeric membranes. membrane was developed using flowering plant Delonix regia flower pod powder (DRF), which then mixed with polyurethane (PU) (Control MDC). addition of filler material, glass derived from waste (DRFG), to DRF: PU (50:50 v/v) mixture in a ratio 1:1 (Test MDC) done due presence silicates elemental composition powder, will lead improved hydration, power densities, ion...

The study aimed to identify the factors that influence entrepreneurial behaviour of Makhana growers. During 2022-24, data were collected from 120 growers across four leading districts (Purnea, Darbhanga, Katihar, and Madhubani) in Bihar using a structured schedule. Various socio-economic characteristics farmers analyzed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS). findings revealed more than three-fifths (67.50%) makhana possessed medium behavior followed by 19.16 per...

Abstract The present study aims at integrating Constructed Wetland using biochar as matrix with Microbial Fuel Cell (CW‐MFC) and evaluating its effect on textile wastewater (TW) treatment in the form of removal COD, Color TDS along Bioelectricity generation. Two vertical down flow systems CW‐MFC were investigated for TW system reusability (with without corn cob biochar) batch mode retention time 10 days cycles. performance (CW‐MFC−A) was better than (CW‐MFC−B) terms parameters treatment,...

In this work the energy recovery in microbial fuel cell was studied by electrically stacking its three individual units into series and parallel arrangements. The power output higher 2.07 14.77 times than respectively. rate of degradation dye wastewater order Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) < stack stack. corn cob biochar used as an additive MFC to improve efficiency unit. addition 0.5 g enhanced 38.6 mW/m2 from 0.47 unit without additive. simultaneous COD reduction, TDS reduction decolourisation...

Abstract The increased use of estrogens in modern livestock farming has caused them to enter the environment and they have become a serious human health concern. Studies suggested that animal waste treatment using bio‐electrochemical systems may reduce their environmental impact. Bio‐electrochemical hold great potential as green bioenergy conversion utilizing different bio‐wastes feedstock. present work involves development laboratory‐scale microbial fuel cell (MFC) for energy generation...

Abstract This paper describes the potential of waste biomass derived biochar for improvement in dye wastewater treatment a microbial fuel cell (MFC). The complete MFC, an energy generating unit, was made with products order to demonstrate that low cost alternatives are available replicate positive results. Waste corncob produced after acid modification has been evaluated as supplement MFC real (RDW). two doses sulfuric modified (SA‐MCB), (0.5 g and 1 g) blank (without any dose) were assessed...

Abstract The key operational constraints of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology in achieving its due potential are high cost electrodes and difficulties scaling up. To address these issues, carbonized corncob anodes were prepared modified with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) to increase oxygenated functional groups favoring extracellular electron transfer between microbes electrodes. Compared MFC anode without any modification, that is, bare anode, single chambered 20% H exhibited excellent...

Abstract Bananas comprise essential nutrients which can be used for a variety of purposes. This study aims at the preparation bio-stimulating fertilizer from banana peels. Different physical and chemical characterizations extracted biofertilizer were performed. The peels was applied to black gram crop grown in plant microbial fuel cell (PMFC). According results, an increase dose peel extract caused germination rate increase. After 7 days planting, improved 12% (control without biofertilizer)...
