Environmental emission characteristics of diesel engine performance using biodiesel by cotton and pumpkin seed
Air Quality
The hunt for alternative fuels that may be utilized in place of conventional fuels is intensifying quickly since the availability of fossil fuels is dwindling daily. In this work, biodiesel derived from pumpkin and cotton seed oils is presented for use as diesel engine fuel. Related to diesel, the...
Amelioration of drought stress in wheat by using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and biogas slurry
Floods, Droughts and Water scarcity
Drought stress has a significant impact on cereal-based staple food production, particularly in developing countries like Pakistan. To ensure a sustainable and reliable food supply, it is essential to develop comprehensive production plans that incorporate various approaches to mitigate the effects...
Activated Biochar from Gracilaria Edulis Seaweeds: A Novel Biosorbent for Efficient Uranium Ion Removal in Wastewater Treatment
Water and Wastewater Treatment
The biosorption of uranium ions was explored through batch studies employing activated biochar derived from Gracilaria Edulis seaweeds. A chemical synthesis approach utilizing concentrated sulfuric acid created and activated the adsorbent material. SEM and FTIR measurements were used to characterize...
Differential growth and metal uptake efficiency of castor bean genotypes on a lead contaminated soil
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Present study investigated the unknown responses of five castor bean genotypes to lead (Pb) contaminated soil, focusing on their growth and metal uptake efficiency. A unique aspect is the simultaneous assessment of multiple genotypes, offering a holistic view of their reactions to soil contamination...
