With the purpose to investigate effect of integrated nutrient management (INM) on yield in Cauliflower, Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L., cv. Sabour Agrim, research was conducted using Randomized Block Design with 9 treatments replicated thrice from March 2021 May 2021. The trial comprised different treatment combinations consisting varied sources nutrients including in-organic, organic and bio-fertilizers. parameters like gross curd weight (0.96 kg), marketable (535 g), per plot (13.36...
Carbon deposition on a catalyst surface is detrimental to the dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction. The addition boron (B) found be effective in lowering carbon deposition. In this study, bimetallic Ni, Co catalysts over MgAl2O4(MA) [B–(Ni–Co)/MA] with different Ni/Co ratios are synthesized by NaBH4 reduction method and examined for DRM at 600 °C atmospheric pressure. plays crucial roles reducing metal salt metal, incorporating B, enhancing dispersion active metallic species one-step...
A cocatalyst plays an essential role in photoassisted hydrogen generation, and it is almost inevitable component of a photocatalyst. Costly noble metal (e.g., Pt) cocatalysts exhibit irreplaceable efficiencies, finding suitable replacement challenging proposition. Controlled synthesis nanoparticle on semiconductors at the nanoscale level one most promising approaches to accomplish Pt equivalent activity. Herein, photodeposited metallic Ni-based containing small amount (<2 atom % with respect...
Emulsion Liquid Membrane (ELM) separation technique is an effective procedure for the removal of Chromium (VI) ions from wastewater stream. In present study, effect changes different parameters such as pH feed solution, stirring speed, and emulsification time, carrier concentration, surfactant on presence other metal ions, are systematically investigated. The membrane phase consists kerosene with hexane diluant, Aliquat 336 extractant, sorbitan mono-oleate (span 80) surfactant. 1 (N) Sodium...
Abstract The effect of electrolyte (NaCl salt) during chromate (Cr2O3 −2) ion separation from effluent by Micellar enhanced ultrafiltartion (MEUF) and leakage cationic surfactant Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) in permeate stream has been studied. It is revealed that though (NaCl) reduces the critical micelles concentration surfactant, but with increase NaCl feed, decreases chromium efficiency increases CPC permeate. ionic strength aqueous medium adsorption (chemisorption) negatively charged...
Abstract Dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction is advantageous in producing syngas with a low H 2 /CO, relevant to many industries. Effect contact time on catalytic activity and carbon deposition studied for DRM using Ni−Al catalysts, along the effect metal loading, temperature, reactant partial pressure (CO /CH 4 ). Maximum CH conversion (58 %) CO (59 were achieved at higher 4.009 kg‐cat . h/kg CH4 A maximum 46 % was 1023 K 0.134 Higher an excellent yield due RWGS increased (Ni) loading...
Herein, we synthesized a series of catalysts comprising iron (Fe), and nickel (Ni) supported on γ-Al
ABSTRACTTo obtain insight into the effect of promoter–support interactions in CO2 reforming CH4, a series Ni and Ni–Co (3:1) catalysts were prepared over modified-MgAl2O4 MgAl2O4. The samples characterised investigated for dry methane reactions at 873 K 1 atm. From XRD, it appears that CaO, specified amount, is an appropriate modifier to retain active metallic phase catalyst also prevents formation solid solution itself with metal oxides during synthesis. activity results, enhancement...
A rapid and simple method for assessing water soluble fungicides based on the principles of fungicide's ability to inhibit germination fungal spores has been described. The relationship between concentration fungicide extent inhibition is transformed probit plane so that a quantitative appreciation obtained. Aspergillus niger Memnoniella echinata are used as test organisms. With slight change in procedure, applicable water-insoluble also
Abstract SBA‐15 is synthesized using triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 as the structure directing agent and different silica sources such tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), sodium metasilicate, coal fly ash (CFA) derived supernatant a mix of CFA‐derived for comparative study towards Fischer‐Tropsch synthesis (FTS). The active metal cobalt (15 wt. %) has been impregnated in each support via wet impregnation technique. catalysts supports are characterized by N 2 adsorption‐desorption, Field...
