The Physio-chemical Analysis of waste cooking oil and butanol blends with diesel
Abstract: With the growing concerns of environmental condition and energy resources, the alternate fuel like biodiesel is the best promising fuel. In this paper the physico-chemical properties has been determined of two different bio-diesel blends (1)Waste cooking oil(WCO) with diesel (2) butanol with diesel. The waste cooking oils are subjected to a chemical process called transesterification to produce the WCO biodiesel and then blended with diesel. The steps required for production …

Urban Storm Water Management through Artificial Recharge for Smart Cities
Abstract: AbstractThe storm water during rainy season causes drainage problem and often roads are damaged by rainfall runoff. This problem is serious in big cities and number of industries, where most of the open area is covered by roads or some concrete structures without proper drainage. The water on roads during rains remains stagnant for hours together due to poor storm water management and results into erosion of roads. Our major …

A Comparative Analytical Study on Gandhaka Ointment Prepared by Two Different Oleaginous Bases – As a Thesis Article
Abstract: Gandhaka (purified sulphur) is broadly used in Ayurvedic dermatological preparations, particularly in Malahara Kalpana (ointment formulations), due to its well-known antimicrobial and skin-healing properties. Although classical Ayurvedic texts, such as Rasa Shastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana, do not directly mention Gandhaka ointment, Rasatarangini by Acharya Sadanand Sharma describes four discrete methods for preparing Gandhaka Taila (sulphur-infused oil). In this study, the third method was selected to prepare Gandhaka Taila using two …

Utilization of Banana Peel Biopolymer as a Natural Coagulant for Wastewater Treatment: A Sustainable Approach to Bio-Composite Applications
Abstract: This study explores an eco-innovative approach to wastewater treatment by utilizing banana peel powder (BPP) as a sustainable, low-cost bio-coagulant. Although effective, conventional chemical coagulants like aluminum sulfate and synthetic polymers are often non-biodegradable, toxic, and economically burdensome, particularly in decentralized or low-resource settings. In contrast, BPP—an agro-waste material rich in bioactive functional groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, and phenolic compounds—provides a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative. To enhance its …

The New Technology of Phytoplankton’s Concentration from Lake “Green Water” for Production of the High-quality Biofuel Having Positive Impact on the Environment
Abstract: The “green water” formation in the stagnant zones of fresh lakes occurs due to the generation and enhanced reproduction of phytoplankton under the sun influence. Due to non-influx of fresh water, phytoplankton dies, releasing hydrogen sulfide, and water becomes unusable and threatens the ecological situation of the lake. In this regard, the development of the concentration of phytoplankton from “green water” purification is an urgent task associated with positive impact …
