APPLICATION OF AGRO BASED RESUIDALS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SURACTANT ON IOR USING MICROBES
Abstract: Utilization of surfactants for IOR is an accepted technique with high potential. However, technology application is frequently limited by cost. Biosurfactants (surface-active molecules produced by microorganisms) are commonly used in specialty markets such as food and textiles and have potential for IOR application. Currently, biosurfactants are not widely utilized in the petroleum industry due to high production costs associated with use of expensive substrates and inefficient product recovery methods. The …

Elemental Mobility and Provenance in Sediments: A Geochemical Study of Deccan Basalts, Bay of Bengal, and Northern China
Abstract: Twenty-eight sediment samples from seventeen rivers, including the Krishna headwaters and the west-flowing Western Ghat rivers, draining the Deccan Trap basalts, were analyzed for major elements (Na, Ca, Mg, K, Al, Ti, Fe) and trace elements (Sr, Ba, Mn, P, V, Cr, Ni, Cu, and Zn). The mobility of these elements, especially Na, Ca, Mg, and Sr, was assessed by comparing their abundances in sediments and dissolved phases. Approximately 60% …

The Utilization of Oil Entrapped Floating Alginate Beads in a Gastroretentive Delivery System is Intended to Improve the Bioavailbility of Telmisartan Incorporating Principles of Bioinformatics
Abstract: Oil entrapped floating calcium alginate beads of Telmisartan were successfully prepared using sodium alginate as polymer and two different oil phases of mineral oil and olive oil by emulsion gelation method. The FT-IR spectra of final optimized formulation confirms no drug- polymer incompatibility. The floating time of beads was found to be more than 12 hrs suggesting that the method used for prepration was effective. The floating time of optimized …
