Eco-Friendly Chemical Processes: The Role of Green Chemistry in Modern Industries
Abstract: Green chemistry focuses on the development of chemical products and processes that minimize or eliminate hazardous substances, promoting sustainability throughout the chemical life cycle. Unlike environmental chemistry, which studies pollutants, green chemistry proactively designs safer alternatives to prevent environmental damage. This field spans multiple disciplines, including organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry, with applications across pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and materials science. Key Principles of Green Chemistry Green chemistry is guided by …

A Comparative Study of Seasonal Variability and Photocatalytic Impact on Water Quality of the Ayad River, Rajasthan
Abstract: This study examines seasonal fluctuation in Ayad River water quality, Rajasthan, India and compares the performance of titanium dioxide (TiO2)-mediated photocatalytic treatment under natural sunlight irradiance. Ayad River is a critical source of freshwater for domestic, agricultural and environmental purposes, which is increasingly stressed by urban runoff, industrial effluent and seasonality. As a follow-up to the above, water samples of four important water sources- Thurmadar, Subhas Nagar Bridge (Ayad), Kanpur …

Analytical Evaluation of Injectable Pain Relievers for Enhanced Post-Operative Care
Abstract: One hundred ASA I and II patients undergoing general and gynecological procedures were randomly divided into two groups of 50, each receiving a different analgesic treatment. Vital parameters, including heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation (SpO₂), blood pressure, sedation levels, pain scores (VAS), side effects, and the need for rescue analgesics, were measured at intervals of 0–4, 5–12, and 24 hours post-surgery. The findings indicate that one of the tested …

Greener ways of synthesizing Styrene oxide
Abstract: Styrene oxide is a key intermediate used in the fragrance, flavour, polymer and pharmaceutical industries, basically synthesized through processes such as epoxidation followed by distillation. These methods generate effluents that give rise to significant environmental challenges and rendering large-scale commercial production non-viable. The urgency for a greener and more economically viable synthesis routes has given rise to the exploration of alternative methods that produces lesser effluent generation. Enzymatic synthesis offers …

Evaluations of Treatment Performance of Tangerine and Cashew Leaves in TPH Removal from Contaminated Swampy and Clay Soils
Abstract: This study evaluates the effectiveness of two plant-based treatments, Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) and Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) leaves, in the bioremediation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) from polluted swampy soil. The performance of these treatments was assessed over an 84-day period using 100g of each treatment. The results demonstrated significant degradation of TPH, with Tangerine leaf showing a slight edge over Cashew leaf in the remediation process of crude oil- contaminated …
