A Review on Nano Filtration System
Abstract: In the later half of the 1980s, nanofiltration (NF) became a significant development in the purification of water. When NF was first introduced, it was marketed as a less energy-intensive substitute for traditional techniques like reverse osmosis (RO). However, as its special qualities and uses became clear, NF was acknowledged as a separate technology in 1988. Comprehending the differences between ultrafiltration (UF), RO, and NF is essential to appreciating its …

Sorghum vulgare Plus Azospirillum lipoferum and Rhizobium tropici with NH4NO3 at 50% Reduce N2O Releasing
Abstract: Sorghum vulgare, a gramineae of commercial value, requires NH4NO3 for healthy growth, that in excess causes loss of soil productivity and the release of N2O, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. An alternative solution to reduce and optimize NH4NO3 with: Azospirillum lipoferum and Rhizobium tropici. The objective of this work was: to analyze the effect of A. lipoferum and R. tropici 50%. For this, A. lipoferum and R. …

Response of Zea mays to Rhizophagus Intraradices with 50% Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilizer Prevents the Release of N2O From the Soil
Abstract: The healthy growth of Zea mays (maize) requires NH4NO3/PO4--3 fertilizers (ammonium nitrate and phosphates), are applied in unregulated doses, are associated to denitrification, generating greenhouse gases, causing global warming, loss of soil productivity, and pollution of surface water in case of phosphates. An alternative is to decrease and optimize the dose of NH4NO3/PO4--3 by applying arbuscular vesicle fungi (AVF), to optimize, the dose of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, AVF endosymbionts …

UV-Spectroscopic Interaction Studies of Synthesized Graphene Oxide and Methyl Orange
Abstract: Graphene oxide (GO) has become a popular material due to its valuable properties and wide range of applications in various fields. GO was synthesized using a modified Hummers’ method and characterized through various techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), The effectiveness of GO in decolorizing methyl orange was assessed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, with varying GO concentrations (0.05, 0.075, 0.1, 0.15) g and time (2–120 minutes) intervals. …

Review on Lignin, Its Derivatives and Their Applications
Abstract: Due to the excessive use of fossil fuels day by day everywhere, several severe problems on the globe and related to environmental issues like environmental problems and heating are cropping up and posing a big problem. Due to this reason, several attempts are being made to develop other sustainable alternate energy sources which are based on plant biomass. However, those materials contain lignin, which makes up approximately 18-30% of the …
