Application of Heterogeneous Catalytic Technology based Solar Reactor for Treatment of Textile Effluent Water by Sunlight
Abstract: To work on sustainable wastewater treatment method based on solar radiations is a challenging task for scientists. We have used sunlight, a renewable and constant source of energy, to take the substantial advantages of PCD (photo catalytic degradation) technique for the treatment of polluted water. The photocatalyst (TiO2) can remove most of the water soluble organic pollutants of water in sun light. This technique is very much cost effective and …

Sonophotocatalytic Degradation of Scarlet Red dye using Fe-Bi2O3 Catalyst and its Process Optimization by Response Surface Methodology
Abstract: The catalyst Fe-Bi2O3 was synthesized by ultrasound irradiation and used as a catalyst for the sonophotocatalytic degradation of scarlet red dye. The synthesized catalyst were characterized by SEM, XRD and DRS. SEM image reveals the formation of nanorod structure of the catalyst, XRD reveals the size of the catalysts were in nano range and DRS shows the blue shift in optical absorption for the Fe-Bi2O3 catalyst. The Fe-Bi2O3 was identified …

Synthesis, Characterization and Drug Delivery Application of Poly (Acid Fuchsin) Based Triblock Copolymer
Abstract: Synthesis, characterization and its drug delivery application of Poly (acid fuchsin) (PAF) was done under inert atmosphere. The (M0/I0) was maintained at 100. In order to increase the molecular weight and processability, it was block copolymerized with ε-caprolactone (CL) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) separately. The conductivity value of PAF was found to be decreased after the chemical conjugation with poly(ε-caprolctone) (PCL) and poly(tetrahydrofuran) (PTHF) blocks. Thus obtained triblock copolymer was subjected …

Catalyst: From Lab to Industry
Abstract: To know about the catalyst industry, first we have to understand what is the catalyst and how it is used, we are very familiar with the reactions in lab but the journey of the catalyst from lab to the industry plants are quite interesting, first of all what is catalyst then. Catalysts are substances that speed up reactions by providing an alternative pathway for the breaking and making of bonds. …

Basic Urea and Ammonia Synthesis
Abstract: AbstractIndian population has continued to grow at the rate of 1.2% per year. This population explosion demands for around 263 million tonne of food grain per annum. From the present level of production of some 241 million tonnes (2012–2013); it is clear that an adequate quantity of fertilizer has to be made available. Urea (NH2CONH2) and ammonia (NH3) are of great importance to the agriculture industry as nitrogen-rich fertilizer. This …
