Lack of supply of good quality food worldwide is a major problem from the point of view of imbalance in production and consumption. Post-harvest losses in developing countries have reached 10%, and food preservation is the ...
A potential and promising green liquid fuel is biodiesel, which can be blended with petroleum diesel. The new and economic alternate feedstocks for biodiesel include microalgal lipids. Simultaneously, microalgae are promising ...
Due to the rise in greenhouse gas in earth atmosphere and global climate change, attention has been focused on harvesting energy from renewable resources such as solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal tidal, wave, and ...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent a unique class of ubiquitous semi-volatile organic contaminants, well-known for their persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic nature. ...
Intensifying environmental issues, the rising demand for energy, political apprehensions and the medium-way depletion of fossil fuels has generated the prerequisite for development of sustainable technologies based on ...
Three lignocellulosic biomasses, Sorghum, Finger millet and Pearl millet straw were screened for their potential as a feedstock for bioethanol production. Finger millet straw (FMS) containing the highest holocellulose (69 ...
In spite of the substantial amount of work done and lime light ushered on biofuel research, still its implacability in commercial scale is very critical. There are various constrain towards execution of biofuel to market. ...
The principal objective of this work is immobilization of lipase and application of the immobilized lipase for hydrolysis and transesterification of sunflower oil. Lipase was isolated from the culture supernatant of ...
The diminishing fossil fuel stock and soaring international crude oil price have renewed the interest in the alternative source of fuels. Oil from oilseed crops that are largely in the form of triacylglycerol (TAG) are the ...
The ever increasing energy demand accompanied by fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation has paved the path of transportation electrification. Electric Vehicles (EVs) are environmental friendly alternative to ...
Biomass on its sustainable and economical aspect plays a pivotal role. Among all the available biomasses, microalgae biomass is one of the most vital raw material for biodiesel production. Besides, biodiesel, microalgae ...
The current study focuses on physico-chemical characterization and pretreatment of three commonly available lignocellulosic biomasses of North-East India such as Castor (Ricinus communis), Jatropha (Jatropha curcas), and ...
Biodiesel is one of the renewable and alternative to conventional diesel fuel, which attracts the attention of researchers throughout the world over last two decades. Numerous studies have been carried to produce biodiesel ...
The thesis presents development of alternative dielectric fluid for power and distribution transformer. It addresses the nanofluid (NF) development and modification in the transformer oil (TO). It also addresses the ...
Multilayer/superlattice structures of a-Si:H/nc-Si:H, show many interesting features such as enhanced carrier mobility and enhance photosensitivity etc. Superlattice structures based on amorphous layer have also been ...
The major objective of the present study is to develop an efficient photosynthetic microbial fuel cell (PMFC) using cyanobacteria as anodic catalyst with a further aim of utilizing this energy generating device for sensing ...
The spark ignition engines are the most versatile in the arena of internal combustion engines. Petrol fuel based spark igniton(SI) engines are designed for the cylinder bore to stroke ratio(compression ratio), spark plug ...
