This thesis is aimed to find a solution for one of the environmental problems viz. increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. The thesis focuses over this subject for the mitigation of CO2 through its utilization. ...
Flue gases emitted from coal-fired thermoelectric plants is responsible for up to 7% (v/v) of global CO2 emissions, about 10-15% (v/v) of the flue gases emitted from the power plants being in the form of CO2. Increased CO2 ...
A primary objective of ecological monitoring programs is to detect changes in ecosystem functions and processes. Healthy ecosystem functions are the key components to balanced ecosystem services.
Perchlorate contamination of the ground water, soil and surface water is a public health concern of recent times due to their detrimental effect of human health and other living entities. Therefore, its removal from ...
Superoxide dismutase is an important enzyme of the antioxidative defense system. It forms the first line of defense against reactive oxygen species and environment induced oxidative stress. Superoxide dismutase works in ...
Given the vulnerability of agricultural sector to variations in weather conditions, it will be one of the sectors most affected by climate change. This study assesses the state of climate change and variability in the ...
(SMA) was achieved up to feed SCN- 200 mg/L in R1/B1. Increased HRT enhanced the pollutant removal efficiencies. Phenol and COD removal in R1 was significantly inhibited at feed phenol, SCN- and NH4 +-N concentration 1500, ...
Urbanization is increasing at a rapid rate and in many places expanding into the hilly areas, thereby inducing significant alteration in the hydrological response of watershed. In the developing world, the process of ...
The presence of substituted phenols in water, soil and wastewater is of severe public health concern due to their detrimental effect on human and many other living organisms. Their removal from contaminated water and ...
The thesis mainly focuses on the isolation of phenol-degrading bacteria from oilcontaminated sites and their application in the biodegradation of phenolic and petroleum wastewaters. Firstly, two potential phenol-degrading ...
Rapid urbanization and the unprecedented growth in vehicles have resulted in profound deterioration of air quality in urban centers. Traffic junctions of urban centers often attract large number of vehicles creating congested ...
The contents of this thesis have been divided into two chapters based on the results of experimental works performed during the complete course of the research period. the first chapter of the thesis again has been divided ...
Microbial alkaline proteases are one of the most important hydrolytic enzymes and hence are being studied extensively since last two decades. These enzymes constitute 60% to 65% of the total enzymes sales in the world. ...
