SOR Process: A Tool for Reduction of SO2 Emission
Abstract: Sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions are prominently due to burning of fossil fuels at power plants and other industrial facilities, as well as fuel combustion in mobile sources such as locomotives, ships, and other equipment. Rapid SO2 emission has in recent times become a major source of concern because it can cause breathing problems, respiratory illness, changes in the lung's defenses, cardiovascular diseases and damage to vegetation and building due to …

Polymeric Coating Applied for Corrosion Protection of Mild Steel in Corrosive Medium
Abstract: Mild steel is coated with a polymer layer of polybutadiene for protection. However, this coating does not effectively safeguard the metal in environments containing moisture, sulphur dioxide, or chloride. These pollutants interact with the polybutadiene-coated surface, creating a highly corrosive atmosphere. Moisture condenses on the coated metal surface and absorbs sulphur dioxide, forming sulphuric acid. This acid initiates both chemical and electrochemical reactions with the polymer-coated metal, accelerating the corrosion …

Seasonal Variations of Air Quality Measures In Warri and Effurun, Delta State, Nigeria.
Abstract: Air quality in Urban Cities like Warri and Effurun has been deteriorating over time. The distribution levels of air pollutants in the Warri and Effurun environments may be related to both natural and man-made factors. In addition to evaluating the quality of rainwater with regard to pH, heavy metals (Fe, Pb, Cd, As, Hg, CU, Zn), and some anions (Cl-, NO3-, SO42-, CO32-), this project study aims to investigate, using …

Using Emission Taxes as Policy Instruments for Clean Coal Technologies in Indian Coal-fired Power Plants
Abstract: AbstractRising electrification needs have led to increased coal combustion, which in turn has made India, the second highest sulphur dioxide and third highest carbon dioxide emitter. The twin task of providing electricity to 300 million citizens while meeting stringent climate change mitigation needs is a major challenge to India. Thus, a strategy for joint energy-economy growth has to be worked out. Coal-fired power plants account for around half of the …

Revolutionary Journey of Herbal Shampoo for Multiple Cosmetic Applications :- An Imperative Review
Abstract: Dandruff is a common scalp ailment caused by the yeast Pityrosporum that affects the majority of people. The condition of dandruff cannot be entirely removed; rather, it can only be efficiently managed and maintained. The three most typical signs of dandruff are particles on the scalp, scalp itching, and redness near the scalp. There are two approaches to treating dandruff. These anti- dandruff shampoos include chemical-based anti-dandruff shampoos and herbal-based …

EVALUATE INDORE CITY'S AMBIENT AIR QUALITY USING THE REAL TIME-AIR QUALITY INDEX (RT-AQI)
Abstract: This effort aims to express the ambient air quality of Indore city as a real-time air quality index (RTAQI). Readings were taken early in the morning (8:00 AM to 10:00 AM) and during the evening rush hour (8.00 PM to 10:00 PM) to assess PM2.5, PM10, sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), and NH3 at several places in Indore. With those readings, the air quality …

Hazards of Power Production-A comparative study
Abstract: Nuclear energy has played a major role in reducing the world's use of oil for electricity generation over the past decades. Current estimates are that uranium resources will last some 400 to 500 years at the present rate of use. This resource base could, furthermore, last some 50 times longer if breeder reactors are introduced. Of the main energy sources, namely coal, hydro and nuclear, nuclear can be even considered …

Recent Advances in Crystal Defect Engineering of Semiconductor Photocatalysts for Sustainable Environmental and Energy Applications
Abstract: Semiconductor photocatalysis has emerged as one of the most promising green technologies for addressing environmental pollution and global energy challenges through solar energy utilization. Nevertheless, the practical application of conventional semiconductor photocatalysts is often limited by their narrow visible-light absorption, rapid recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, insufficient active sites, and poor charge-transfer efficiency. Defect engineering has recently attracted significant attention as an effective strategy to overcome these limitations by deliberately …
