Abstract The column performance of silica‐coated, amino‐functionalized, superparamagnetic nanoparticles co‐integrated with Cynodon dactylon and Murraya koenigii plant extracts for the removal Cu II ions was evaluated. were used as sorbent materials in fixed‐bed studies, effects inlet concentration, adsorbent bed depth, flow rate analyzed. Breakthrough time calculated various concentrations, depths bed, volumetric rates. Models such Thomas, Yoon‐Nelson, depth model evaluated to determine...
Treatment and safe disposal of tannery saline wastewater, a primary effluent stream that is generated by soaking salt-laden hides skin one the major problems faced leather manufacturing industries. Conventional treatment methods like solar evaporation ponds land composting are not eco-friendly as they deteriorate ground water quality. Though, this waste comprised high concentration dissolved proteins presence salinity (1-6 % NaCl wt) makes it non-biodegradable. Enzymatic positive...
Synthesis of non-toxic, eco-friendlier and sustainable photocatalyst promotes advanced oxidation process in wastewater treatment. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using the chemical co-precipitation technique with aid glycerol as cross-linker to enhance stability. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy evaluates presence hydroxyl, carboxyl zinc entities whereas these elemental constituents oxygen affirmed through energy dispersive x-ray analysis. The crystalline nature particle was...
Petrochemical plastics have become a basic requisite in today's world. Their production has increased dramatically since the last few decades owing to increase their demand. Sustainable green produced from polylactic acid proven be an alternative conventional pertaining tendency of biodegradability; they are disintegrated by microorganisms and utilized as carbon sources plants other primitive organisms. Rhizopus species is appropriate for biosynthesis lactic acid, which raw material could...
Immobilised magnetic nanoparticles are extensively used owing to their superparamagnetic nature, surface interaction, and binding specificity with the appropriate portentous substances. The present research focuses on development of a portentous, robust carrier, which integrates silica-coated amino-functionalised nanoparticle (AF-MnP) plant extracts Cynodon dactylon (L1) Muraya koenigii (L2) for stable enhanced removal hazardous hexavalent chromium pollutant in wastewater. Vibrating sample...
Organic acids such as citric acid, itaconic acid and oxalic synthesised by Aspergillus niveus were used for the bioleaching of metals from waste printed circuit boards. Bioleaching valuable was performed in one-step, two-steps spent medium approaches using A. niveus. In absence boards (WPCBs), dry cell weight higher when compared with presence WPCBs. Variations observed different particle sizes. The increase synthesis found at a reduced size (60–80 mesh) reached maximum titre (22.35 ± 0.87...
Filamentous fungi from the genus Aspergillus are of high importance for production organic acids. Itaconic acid (IA) is considered as an important component synthetic fibers, resin, plastics, rubber, paints, coatings, adhesives, thickeners and binders. niveus MG183809 was isolated soil sample (wastewater unit) which collected Avadi, Chennai, India. In present study, itaconic successfully produced by A. submerged batch fermentation. fermentation process, various low-cost substrates like corn...
Chemical recycling of polyethylene terephthalate, known as PET, has been the subject increased interest a valuable feedstock for different chemical processes. In present work, an attempt made to depolymerize PET yield Terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (EG). This process leads complete depolymerization its monomers, carried out by waste in reactor 92% conversion will be obtained at 90 degrees Celsius. post-consumer bottles via alkaline hydrolysis. At end, wastes into terephthalic is...
