Preparation of mesoporous TiO2 nanomaterials doped with rare earth ions (La3+, Sm3+, Nd3+, Gd3+) and its application in the photodegradation of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine
Water treatment
Methyldimethylhydrazine and its by-products cause serious damage to human health. In this paper, Re3+-doped mesoporous TiO2 were synthesized for the photodegradation of UDMH. The structure, morphology and optical properties of photocatalyst were extensively characterized. The photocatalytic...
Study on Performance of Paver Block using Prosopis Juliflora Ash
Ecology, environmental change and management
The use of Prosopis Juliflora (PJ) ash as a supplementary replacement for cement in paver block production presents a promising sustainable solution for the construction industry. PJ is an invasive plant species that poses significant environmental and socio-economic challenges in many regions. This...
Analysis of Hybrid Nano-Emulsified Jatropha Methyl Ester-Diesel Blend (B20) in a Direct Injection Engine: An Experimental Study
Nanomaterials in the environment: applications and effects
The purpose of this research was to comprehensively evaluate the performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine using a novel fuel blend comprising a hybrid nano-emulsified JME-Diesel blend (B20). The fuel blend consisted of a mixture of 50 ppm of ferric oxide (Fe2O3) and Silicon...
Optimization of Pilot scale Biogas Plant for mixed food wastes with cow dung by anaerobic digestion process
Food waste
The primary aim of this research is to identify the best anaerobic digestion process yield for generating biogas from mixed food waste in the combination of cow manure. For the biogas generation experiment, certain biodegradable domestic organic wastes gathered from restaurants, waste storage...
Bioethanol (environment support fuel) production and optimization from pineapple peel and banana peel
Biodiversity conservation
The goal of this investigation was to focus on the viability of synchronous aging of natural product waste with Aspergillus Niger TISTR 3063 co-societies producing ethanol. Additionally noted was how the aging temperature affected the yield of ethanol. Peels from pineapple and banana were used as...
Assessment of the Role of Photovoltaic Systems in Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Wastewater Treatment Plants
Water, Energy and/or Food Nexus
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) consume large amounts of energy and thus cause an increase in carbon footprint. For this reason, it has become important not only to meet the discharge criteria in treatment plants, but also to reduce the carbon footprint resulting from treatment processes and...
Temperature impact on the hydration and setting mechanism of C-S-H bonding on nano-biomass silica with poly-carboxylate ether
General
Pozzolanic material and a chemical admixture have been used in the current investigation; Nano Biomass Silica (NBS) and Poly-Carboxylate Ether (PCE). NBS produces 20% of the 590 million tonnes of paddy produced globally. Amorphous silica, a mineral component used in concrete, is present in sizable...
Utilization of Bokashi Composting and Animal Feed Silage for Sustainable Agricultural Waste Management and Environmental Impact Analysis
Sustainable Energy
Agriculture is a major driver of sustainable development in developing countries. However, with the increase in the global population, the amount of waste generated by agriculture has also increased, leading to environmental pollution. The increase in agricultural activity is proportional to the...
Distilled water by solar desalination using PCM in environmental solution
Desalination
By using a hybrid solar mineral water production setup to turn sea water into mineral water, this research intends to provide a comprehensive solution to the human need for drinking water. Before feeding seawater into the solar still, it also applies the proper pretreatment. In order to increase the...
Reduction of soluble microbial products in activated sludge system with pure oxygen aeration under toxic stress condition of phenol
Water and Wastewater Treatment
This study aimed to explore the effect of pure oxygen aeration on the generation of soluble microbial products (SMP) when activated sludge was under toxic stress condition of phenol. Two parallel sequencing batch reactors, one with air and the other with pure oxygen aeration, were used to...
