Orange Peels as Biosorbent for Heavy Metals and Its Application in Water Pollution Remediation Studies
Abstract: Ecosystems and public health are seriously threatened by heavy metal poisoning of water sources, which is growing. Heavy metal removal from wastewater using conventional technologies is either costly, ineffective, or results in secondary pollutants. In this regard, biosorption has become an affordable and environmentally beneficial substitute. The mitigation study of heavy metals from wastewater is crucial for the protection of the environment and human health. Efforts have been made to …

Influence of Cutting Angle on the Performance of an Orange Peeling Machine
Abstract: Growing demand for oranges for domestic and industrial uses requires a device that would peel the oranges at minimum cost, stress and time. Reduction in cost and stress can be meaningful only if the peeling time is minimised. Orange peeling machine was developed by taking into consideration effective choice of peeling tool component to enhance savings in peeling time. Tool holding system was made flexible to accommodate variation in set …

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM ORANGE PEELS
Abstract: In this study, an attempt was made to establish Green Energy from agricultural waste (orange peels). Activated carbon (AC) produced from orange peels with chemical activation agent i.e. phosphoric acid (H3PO4) by carbonization activation process. The influences of the process, carbonization temperature and activation temperature (600 °C) for time 2 hour with H3PO4 of 1:1 ratio on the resulting activated carbon properties were evaluated. The AC is an excellent adsorbent …

Crude Oil Remediation in Soil Environment using Orange (Citrus sinensis) Peel
Abstract: The research on effective performance of citrus sinensis (orange) peel was monitored in crude oil remediation in loamy soil environment. Different bioreactors with different bio-stimulant dosage of 20g, 40g, 60g, 80g, 100g of room dry and sundry samples were tested to examine the performance on microbial activities on crude oil mitigation in each bioreactor. The nutrient of the bio-stimulants was determined as pH value of 6.63, total nitrogen content of …

Critical Overview: Preparation of Bioplastics Using Different Reinforcement Fillers
Abstract: The widespread use of synthetic plastics poses a significant threat to the environment due to their nonbiodegradable nature and reliance on nonrenewable petrochemical sources. Among these, single-use plastics are of particular concern as they are difficult to recycle efficiently. To mitigate this issue, bioplastics offer a promising alternative, as they are derived from renewable sources and are biodegradable. Bioplastics are produced using natural materials, such as plant, animal, and microbial …
