Features of Nanoflotation Technique – A Review
Abstract: ABSTRACT Flotation method is majorly availed in two sectors: mining industry (for separation of metal ores) and in wastewater treatment process (both for municipal and industrial wastewaters) for separation of suspended solids, emulsions, chemical sludge or excess sludge. Traditional flotation relies on floating of solids (mainly suspended solids) on the top of the liquid by air bubbles (in conventional process they have and average diameter of 100–300 μm). Better separation …

Antimicrobial Activity of Waste Pulp of Citrus sinensis and Citrus limetta
Abstract: An antimicrobial is a substance which kills or inhibits the growth of different types of micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi or protozoans. Citrus fruit products act as antimicrobial agents against the bacteria and the fungus. Citrus fruits belong to the family Rutaceae. The main objective was to determine the antimicrobial activity of Citrus sinensis waste pulp and to determine the antimicrobial activity of Citrus limetta waste pulp. The citrus pulp …

Bioremediation of Oil-Spilled Sites through Seeding Naturally Adapted Pseudomonas putida
Abstract: In the present study, crude oil degradation was analyzed using isolated bacterial strains. These bacterial strains were isolated from the crude-oil-contaminated soil sample. All the isolates were identified as species of Pseudomonas, in which the Pseudomonas putida P11 and LP1 demonstrated a strong ability to degrade kerosene, gasoline, diesel, engine oil and crude oil. Bioremediation for oil spill cleanup was analyzed by the inoculation of P. putida with the addition …

High-Performance Thin-Layer Chirography Detection of Ethambutol
Abstract: Ethambutol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1, 2 amino alcohols. Being a medication, it is primarily used to treat tuberculosis. Its route of administration is oral. It is readily absorbed by gastrointestinal tract and 50% excreted unchanged by urine. Capacity of protein binding is 20–30%. It is antitubercular agent i.e. inhibiting the synthesis of spermidine in myobacteria also inhibits the transfer of mycolic acids into cell …

Use of Micro- and Nanobubble in Waste Water Treatment Technology – Review
Abstract: ABSTRACT The environmental nanotechnology is a technical discipline which research features of natural and man-made nanomaterials, applications, techniques for their characterization, integration processes and transformation into ecosystems. Microbubbles have the capability to change the normal characteristic of water. The microbubbles (MBs) have diameter more than 100 μm, the micro-nanobubbles (MNBs) have diameter between 1 to 100 μm and the nanobubbles (NBs) have diameter less than 1 μm within the fluid …
