Abstract The objective of the study was to evaluate performance Pistia stratiotes for treatment domestic wastewater in a free surface water flow constructed wetland. contaminants removal efficiency wetland vegetated with P. against Hydraulic retention time (HRT) 10, 20 and 30 days investigated. This asks newer efficient low-cost nature-based system which along cost takes into consideration sustainability ecosystem. Five setups improved quality purify it significantly by reducing TDS 83%, TSS...
Abstract A natural dye was extracted from Eucalyptus camaldulensis and used to cotton by direct dyeing method at different conditions. Then, the fastness properties of with techniques were compared.
Magnetic chicken bone-based biochar (MCBB) was successfully prepared and efficiently adsorbed rhodamine-B (RB) dye tetracycline (TC) in multi-component systems. The magnetisation value, surface area, pHpzc of the MCBB were found to be 66.5 emu/g, 328 m2/g, 8.3, respectively. RB has higher saturation capacity (96.5 mg/g) occupies more active sites on MCBB, thus limiting sorption TC with lower (63.3 mg/g). Langmuir isotherm suitably describes process a single-component system; however, system...
Abstract Currently, the green route for synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using plants leaf extract is an emerging research area in nanotechnology. The present study was explored synthesis, characterization and catalytic application Ag NPs Diospyros lotus fresh extracts. Factors affecting were optimized optimum conditions pH 8.6, nitrate (AgNO 3 ) concentration 1.5 mM 10 mL extract. Formation observed by change color reaction mixture from pale yellow to reddish brown. synthesized...
Abstract The potential of an economically cheap raw material (rice husk) was evaluated in the present study to remove dyes including reactive yellow 15 (RY15) and red 241 (RR241) single multi-component systems. adsorbent modified functionalized chemically using glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, sulfur silane enhance removal efficiency pollutants. rice husk by scanning electron microscope (SEM) Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Batch adsorption showed that with graft (RHSi) had...
The present study was conducted to degrade and detoxify 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) under UV irradiation in the presence of titanium dioxide (TiO2) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). treatment efficiency evaluated on basis degradation cytotoxicity reduction as well biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical (COD) total organic carbon (TOC) removal. process variables such TiO2, pH, time H2O2 were optimized. Central composite design combination with response surface methodology employed optimize variables. A...
Environment and health hazards posed by the contamination of existing underground water resources are amongst leading anthropogenic challenges in South Asia. One such major environmental hazard is transnational wastewater drain – Hudiara, which degrading quality underlying aquifers. Towards a spatiotemporal assessment Hudiara's drinking from its adjoining areas, total 56 42 samples were obtained over seven months. Analysis data revealed complex interplay geogenic factors HM burden to high...
Solid waste generation is increasing due to increased population, industrialization, urbanization, economic growth, and improved standard of living [1].The demand for paper pulp growing persistently across the globe its abundant consumption.The development society can be indexed by it consumes [2].The industry has a fundamental role in worldwide economy.Global manufacturing predicted increase
Purpose: To isolate thymoquinone (TQ) from Nigella sativa L. and Thymus vulgaris L., investigate its anti-proliferative effect on HeLa cancer cells.Method: Pulverized dried samples of N. seed (100 g) aerial parts T. (1000 were subjected to Soxhlet extraction using methanol n-hexane combined in different proportions. Thymoquinone was then isolated the extracts high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The TQ further Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy identify functional...
To evaluate the anti-oxidant and anti-proliferative potential of Thymoquinone extracted from essential oil indigenous herbs Nigella sativa Thymus vulgaris.Extraction quantification was carried out in July, 2017 Department Environmental Science, Lahore College for Women University (LCWU), Lahore. seeds Sativa aerial parts vulgaris by employing soxhlet extraction with 1:4 ratios nhexane methanol. High Performance Liquid Chromatography used to quantify methanolic sample applying calibration...
Combustion of coal produces oxides sulfur that is harmful for the environment. Present research work was aimed to appraise desulfurization using high-energy radiations. Gamma radiations (γ-rays) and ultraviolet (UV) were employed under different media conditions. Coal slurries in these treated time intervals UV radiation γ-rays doses (50, 100, 150 kGy). The maximum removal achieved up 54 36% by γ-radiation radiation, respectively, which due more ionizing power treatment. To effectively...
Cold storage facilities are the most common workplaces that produce artificially cold work environments and associated with different adverse effects on human health, productivity occurrence of accidents injuries. The aim this study was to measure antagonistic health workers, so factors causing abnormal symptoms could be determined, gather basic information monitor risks from exposure environments.A cross-sectional analytical conducted investigate cold-related effects, musculoskeletal...
Extensive milling processes have deprived wheat flour from essential nutrients. The objective of the current study was to assess nutritive quality commercial (soft (SF)) through analyses proximate composition and functional properties as well quantification benzoyl peroxide (BPO; added bleaching agent in SF) by comparing results with whole (WF; never received any additives).The samples included SF purchased local supplier different mills (who use BPO additive) a control sample without...
Depleting petroleum resources coupled with the environmental consequences of fossil fuel combustion have led to search for renewable alternatives, such as biodiesel. In this study, sunflower (Helianthus annus), mustard (Brassica compestres) and pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum) seed oils were converted into biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters) by acid-, base- lipase-catalyzed transesterification, resultant properties determined. The esters displayed superior iodine values (102–139), low...
An oxygen insensitive azoreductase was purified from a novel bacterial strain (Staphylococcus sp. KU898286) that isolated an abandoned site of the textile waste discharge unit. The enzyme had efficiently cleaved azo-bonds through reductive transformation under aerobic conditions. Initial phenotypic characterization and final construction phylogenetic tree on basis 16s rDNA demonstrated 99% resemblance isolate to Staphylococcus aureus. found have broad spectrum activity reduced RR241 at...
