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 …

Design of Batch Reactors for Pulping of Plantain Pseudostem
Abstract: Plantain pseudostem has little application in Africa and constitute major domestic waste and often problematic to manage. It however contains a high content of lignocellulose that can be used for production of pulp. With the geometric decline of feedstock for pulp production due to dwindling wood resources, plantain pseudostem becomes a ready alternative. This study developed design models for batch reactor for the plantain pulping process under isothermal, non-isothermal and …

Technological options for the treatment of pulp and paper waste water
Abstract: Waste-water treatment is becoming even more important in the light of diminishing water resources, increasing industrial, domestic and agriculture water usage and consequently waste-water disposal and its costs along with stricter discharge regulations that have lowered permissible contaminant levels in waste streams. The treatment of waste-water for reuse and disposal is particularly important for water scarce states like Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and other states in India where water availability is highly …

Waste to evaluate from paper mill
Abstract: Inorganic and organic substances generated in pulp and paper mills have been ashes, green liquor dregs, slacker grits, lime mud, and pulp mill sludge of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). These wastes have impacted on environment, polluting water, soil, and air, if disposed of casually. Pollution has increased organic matter content in wastewater, heavy metals in soil, and emission of incinerated gaseous produce in air. Pollution by waste has been studied …

Proximate Analysis and Functional Activities of African Pear Fruit (Dacryodes edulis) Grown in Makurdi, North Central Nigeria
Abstract: Dacryodes edulis (African Pear Fruit) is an indigenous edible fruit that is used for both food and medicine in North Central Nigeria. The nutritional composition and functional properties of Dacryodes edulis were studied using standard analytical techniques. The fruits were analyzed for Physico-chemical characteristics (pH, Titratable acidity and Total insoluble solids), proximate analysis (Crude protein, Ash content, dry matter content), Mineral analysis (Se, Mn) and antioxidant activity (TBARS). The analyzers …

Citrus Reticulata's Anti-Aging use of Essential oil Chemical Process
Abstract: Citrus has a variety of species, including oranges (Citrus sinensis), In vitro antioxidant and anti-enzyme tests were used to investigate the anti-aging activity of alcoholic extracts of C. reticulata Blanco peel. After two extraction procedures were utilised, isolates were found to qualitative and quantitative phytochemical examination. The Soxhlation (CR HAE) extract has a higher overall phenolic and flavonoid content than the maceration extract (CR CAE). CR HAE had strong DPPH …

Quantum Dots in Oral Diagnostics and Theranostics: Promise and Preclinical Status
Abstract: Quantum dots in oral diagnostics and theranostics represent a rapidly evolving, largely preclinical strategy that couples highly sensitive optical imaging with targeted therapeutic delivery in the oral cavity. Their size-dependent emission, high photostability, and broad excitation spectra allow bright, multiplexed visualization of key molecular events in oral potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma, while surface functionalization with antibodies, peptides, or smallmolecule ligands enables selective binding to dysplastic and …

Health Impact of Pollutants
Abstract: With the advent of industrial revolution, there has been a sharp rise in the atmospheric pollution contaminating the natural surroundings and negatively affecting the day-to-day lifestyle of living beings. Pollution is caused by waste materials of different forms that are dumped randomly on open areas or released into water bodies. Huge quantities of wastes come from the industries effluents which are toxic and highly hazardous. These include wastes from pulp …

Effect of Compression Pressure on the Strength and Fuel Properties of Maize Cob Briquettes
Abstract: Biomass can be densified under a high compression pressure or a low compression pressure. The type of raw material, moisture level, particle size, and form typically all influence how much pressure should be used. This study utilized maize cobs and waste paper pulp to produce briquettes which are seen as alternative fuels. The goal was to determine how compression pressure affected the strength and fuel characteristics of the briquettes that …

Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposition to Water: A Review Process
Abstract: The term "thermal" refers to the presence of heat. Breaking down is the action of decomposing. If a materials temperature is raised, it goes through a chemical process called thermal breakdown. At high temperatures, thermal breakdown processes occur. Before breaking into the products, the reactants absorb a lot of energy. The reactant is the beginning chemical. It decomposes to simpler entities, that might be either elements or compounds. Hydrogen peroxide …
