In the present investigation, Bacillus subtilis was isolated from slaughterhouse waste and screened for production of protease enzyme. The purified successfully immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) used synthesis series glycinamides. binding thermal stability MNPs confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy TGA analysis. surface morphology before after immobilization carried out using SEM XRD pattern revealed no phase change in enzyme immobilization. processing parameters glycinamides viz....
Abstract The efficacy of lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolases EC 3.1.1.3) as a detergent additive from newly isolated marine halophilic bacteria Bacillus sonorensis clams Paphia malabarica collected in the Kalbadevi Estuary, Mumbai, has been assessed and reported. In terms activity stability, exhibited maximum alkaline conditions was observed to be stable over temperature range room 60 °C. increased presence surfactants detergents. Due these properties bacteria, it used an detergents study...
Abstract Couroupita guianensis (Cannon ball tree) flowers and fruits are known to contain indigotin indirubin. In this study an attempt is made optimize the period for effective extraction of indigo from fruit application crude extract on cotton fabric. Fermentation pulp 5 days gave intense bluer pigment hence was selected as optimum fermentation. Major colouring components were separated by thin layer chromatography using single solvent system, chloroform; which gives three pigments,...
Various azo compounds (Modified dyes) have been synthesised by chemical modification of areca nut extract (epicatechin), a plant-based Polyphenolic compound to get semi-synthetic dyes. Three different primary amines namely p- nitro aniline, p-anisidine and were diazotized form their corresponding diazonium salts which further coupled with an extract. Preliminary characterization the resultant was carried out in terms melting point, solubility tests, thin layer chromatography, UV-Visible FTIR...
Simple and sustainable reuse recycle strategies were investigated with the intention of assessing ways to curb water consumption in textile wet processing. Textile pre-treatment involves desizing, scouring bleaching processes. Each process requires a plethora chemicals along water, out which unexhausted are drained effluent stream. Conventionally, 7.3 % alkali 6.9 hydrogen peroxide utilised process. Attempts made reutilise 92.7 93.1 from After recycling bath three times, still contained 55...
In the past decade, water scarcity has become major concern and is going to be reality in future too. At same time textile necessity which needs a billion liters of fresh for its processing. Out this 16 % only used dyeing materials. quest develop sustainable approach reduce scarcity, an attempt been made minimize consumption wet work, eco-friendly glycerine based eutectic solvent (GES) was prepared by using choline chloride, urea glycerin polyester dyeing. The characterized terms FTIR....
Environmentally friendly flame retardant chemicals are being developed in recent studies as legislation for eco-sustainable textile production becomes more stringent around the world. Utilisation of waste generated by wool spinning industry is a prime concern with present work. The extraction and modification keratin from cotton has not been attempted previously. research describes unique method using chemically modified derived an environmentally acceptable nitrogen/phosphorus containing...
This investigation delves into the development of cupric oxide functionalized activated carbon fabrics (ACF@CuO) as a filter material for self-decontaminating protective clothing designed to counter chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Three variants samples were developed by controlling functionalization levels (7.5%, 13.0%, 16.0% w/w) through optimized precursor concentrations, integrating CuO particles onto ACF surfaces. Comprehensive analysis using techniques like FTIR, BET surface area, SEM,...
In the present study, an attempt has been made to dye industrially bleached woven cotton fabric with Cuminum cyminum L., commonly known as cumin seeds, a source of natural which not exploited by far. Optimization extraction from seeds respect buffer mediums; acidic, neutral and alkaline dyeing parameters viz., time, temperature, pH electrolyte concentration was done. Dyeing carried out aqueous extract without mordant. Dyeings obtained mordants were compared those pre-mordanting tannic acid...
Biochar is one of the best and economical soil amendments as it helps in carbon sequestration, retains nutrients, increases water retention capacity soil, attracts more beneficial microbes thus improves crop yield. Peanut shell (PNB) biochar produced by slow pyrolysis at 300 °C, 400 500 °C 600 °C. PNB these various temperatures were characterized (pH, electrical conductivity, ash moisture content, bulk density, FTIR, SEM, XRD, SBET elemental analyses). Pot study was carried out with amended...
This study introduces "Woolitmus" a textile-based wearable sweat pH indicator developed using pyranine, also known as HPTS (8-Hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid) and naturally occurring wool substrate. Sweat analysis is crucial for monitoring health conditions associated with imbalance. The sensor exhibits responsiveness under both visible UV light, offering potential real-time patch monitoring. interaction of pyranine substrate detailed, elucidating the mechanism behind sensitivity backed...
