Adsorption is a desirable, environmental friendly strategy for eliminating toxins from industrial effluents using natural resources. The effectiveness of phytofiltering an industrially significant chemical: Acridine orange dye aqueous media utilizing inexpensive Arachis hypogaea (peanut) bio-waste as adsorbent has been studied in this work. major principle study surface chemistry that made biosorption possible by tuning number adsorption-related variables, including contact duration the...
A novel thermoacidophilic pullulan-hydrolyzing enzyme (PUL) from hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis (TK-PUL) that efficiently hydrolyzes starch under industrial conditions in the absence of any additional metal ions was cloned and characterized. TK-PUL possessed both pullulanase α-amylase activities. The highest activities were observed at 95 to 100°C. Although active over a broad pH range (3.0 8.5), optima for 3.5 acetate buffer 4.2 citrate buffer. stable several hours...
Significance The ability of an animal to sense what eat, such as carbohydrate-rich food, well reject food that may be disadvantageous or even deadly is essential for survival and adaptation metabolic demands compounded by continuous changes in the environment. Here we investigate evolutionarily conserved pathways central either choosing rejecting nutrients based on neuronal system interactions between internal signals external milieu. These are likely necessary perform quick immediate...
Redistribution of anions and cations creates an electrical imbalance in ice grown from electrolyte solutions. Movement acidic basic ions cooling solutions can permanently change the pH frozen unfrozen parts system, largely. The extent associated with freezing is determined by solute concentration cooling. In present work, redistribution hydrogen, hydroxyl, carbonate, bicarbonate was studied during directional batch aqueous systems. Controlled employed vertically as well radially each case,...
Several reports suggest obesity and bipolar disorder (BD) share some physiological behavioural similarities. For instance, obese individuals are more impulsive have heightened reward responsiveness, phenotypes associated with BD, while patients become at a higher rate earlier age than people without BD; however, the molecular mechanisms of such an association remain obscure. Here we demonstrate, using whole transcriptome analysis, that Drosophila Ets96B, homologue obesity-linked gene ETV5,...
The native peels of two cheap, locally available adsorbents, watermelon (PWM) and water chestnuts (PWC), were chemically processed with different chemicals as modifying agents for the determination assessment their adsorption ability removal clearance harmful, venomous, pernicious Congo red (CGR), an acidic nature anionic dye, from aqueous system. In successive batch experiments, citric acid-treated CPWM CPWC have shown more promising performance than raw untreated peel counterparts due to...
Abstract Agro-waste materials have carboxylic and phenolic groups that play the main role in metal adsorption. The advantages of these include easy availability, low cost, reasonable removal capacity. One (usually considered as waste) is pea waste (pods). Present work comprises adsorption chromium from aqueous solution using powder pods garden peas (Pisum sativum) batch. Important parameters like adsorbent dose, pH, contact time, agitation speed were studied. Adsorption equilibrium was...
A rapidly growing problem for life on earth is contamination of fresh water which addressed in this article. By taking a glimpse the causes contaminations, persistent organic pollutants, especially synthetic dyes got prominent role. Here, out commonly used techniques, adsorption using plant wastes was chosen phytofiltration such dyes. natural adsorbent from source selected and processed with acid, characterized FTIR SEM then checked efficacy cationic dye brilliant green. Phytofiltration done...
AbstractTextile industries use large amounts of water as well dyes. These dyes containing are then discharged into the bodies causing a significant role in pollution. Brilliant Green dye contributes to many harmful diseases related respiratory and gastrointestinal tract. In this study, Symplocos racemosa (SR) agro-waste was chemically treated with acid (SR-HCl) base (SR-NaOH) used for removing Dye (BGD) on batch scale. They were characterized by SEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD, TGA DSC. Optimized...
This paper aims to explore the mediating role of employee’s organizational commitment in links between politics employee job involvement and performance. Hypotheses were tested using questionnaire data obtained from employees public sector organizations Pakistan. Using random sampling method 200 questionnaires was distributed 150 returned (75% response rate). The results this study analysis show that negatively effeted commitment, performance played partially mediation as well also partial...
In this work, we explored the adsorptive detoxification potential of titania–bentonite clay composite for removing a cationic dye (crystal violet) from aqueous medium. Fresh sample were prepared by impregnated method, followed spectroscopic characterization SEM, FTIR, and EDX. After that, in batch studies removal examined. The results under optimum conditions showed that material has 96% elimination capacity. Maximum crystal violet was 49.26 mg/g, following Pseudo-second order kinetic model...
Soil texture is considered as an important environment factor for agricultural growth. It the most essential part soil classification in large scale. Today precise information scale of great demand from various stakeholders including scientists, environmental managers, land use planners and traditional users. With increasing properties fine spatial resolution made laboratory methods inadequate. In addition costs analysis with precision agriculture systems are more expensive than methods....
Pakistan is an agricultural country producing plenty of fruits, like: mango, banana, apple, peaches, grapes, plums, variety citrus fruits including lemon, grapefruit, and oranges. So far the peels most are usually wasted not properly utilized anywhere. In this work, banana grapefruit converted into biochar by slow pyrolysis under controlled supply air used for sequestering cyanide ions from aqueous medium after chemical modification with ZnCl2 sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The modified was...
The use of biopolymers and synthetic adsorbents for wastewater treatment is gaining more importance due to their ease preparation nontoxic nature. This study focuses on developing a new biopolymeric composite using Polyaniline leafy mulch mango plants (PANI/ML) applied remove an anionic dye, i.e.: Direct Red-28 from water lab scale. Samples were characterized by various spectrochemical methods, like FT-IR, UV–Vis, SEM analysis, then used adsorption studies. Results indicated that PANI/ML...
