Experimental investigation of Co-Composting of gelatine industrial sludge combined with slaughter house waste and rice straw
Water and Wastewater Treatment
This work illustrates the co-composting of Gelatine Industry Sludge (GIS) combined with organic fraction of Slaughter House Waste (SHW) and Rice Straw (RS) employing 10% zeolite mixed with Enriched Nitrifying Bacteria Consortium (ENBC). Five piles of GIS will be prepared and mixed with SHW and RS at...
Biosorption potential of neem leave powder for the sequestration of arsenic and chromium metal ions
Water and Wastewater Treatment
In this study, neem leaf biosorbent, prepared through chemical synthesis and activated with concentrated sulfuric acid, was utilized as an organic adsorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions, specifically arsenic (As) and chromium (Cr), from wastewater. The characteristics of the biosorbent were...
Integrated Disaster Risk Management for Flood Detection on Remote Sensing Images using Deep Learning techniques
Floods, Droughts and Water scarcity
Floods are one of the leading causes of damage, prompting mortality and substantial destruction to the structure and total economy of the affected nations. Remote sensing, satellite imagery, global positioning system, and geographic information system (GIS) are widely employed for flood...
Chemically modified Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed: a sustainable solution for heavy metal removal from wastewater
Water and Wastewater Treatment
In this study, a batch adsorption process was conducted utilizing Ascophyllum Nodosum biosorbent as an organic adsorbent used for the elimination of heavy metal ions (specifically chromium, nickel, and zinc) from wastewater. To examine the surface morphology and functional groups, the biosorbent...
Study on Properties of New Biodegradable Plant Fiber (Agave Decipiens) for Polymer Reinforcement
Innovative environmental solutions
The article involves in the process of study on novel plant fiber from agave plant species known as agave decipiens. The fiber was mechanically extracted from their leaves and fiber was chemically treated using sodium hydroxide by 5% (w/v). Using various analyses, the fiber was characterized and its...
An IoT-aware Air Quality Prediction System utilising Hybrid Optimization and Fuzzy Temporal Rules Enabled Auto Encoded Bi-LSTM
Air Quality
Recently, the environmental pollution is becoming a challenging issue due to the lacking of awareness about the importance of the environment and the growth of transportation facility and the various factories. The Internet of Things (IoT) technology is useful today for collecting and updating the...
A multi-variant approach to optimize process parameters of two-step pretreatment of high FFA Prosopis juliflora oil
Air Quality
A feasible alternative fuel for diesel engines in recent days is biodiesel, which can be produced from both edible and inedible feedstock. When considering the economic and environmental aspects, there is a considerable academic interest among researchers in the transesterification of non-edible...
Trace arsenic quantification by hydride generation-flame atomic absorption spectrometry using durian husk-derived nanocellulose as a solid-phase extraction biosorbent
General
In the present study, nanocellulose was successfully extracted from durian husk via chemical treatment and then characterized by several analytical techniques, involving X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and...
Biosorption of Methylene Blue dye by Ligustrum lucidum fruits biomass: Equilibrium, isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic studies
Water and Wastewater Treatment
.In this work, biomass from Ligustrum lucidum fruits (LF) was used for the first time as a novel adsorbent to remove the Methylene Blue dye (MB) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption equilibrium was attained after 60 min, and the adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The rise...
Adsorbent potential of the leaf powder of Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. (jackfruit) in efficiently removing hexavalent chromium from landfill leachate
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Chromium (VI), a ubiquitous toxin, has been associated with several human cancer types as well as immunologic, cardiovascular, developmental, neurological, and endocrine disorders. The present study investigated the selective adsorption capacity and chromium (VI) removal ability of jackfruit leaf...
