Tertiary treatment of coke-oven wastewater using suspended and immobilized whole live cells of constructed bacterial-microalgal consortium: modeling and optimization using ANN-GA hybrid methodology.

Coke-oven wastewater (CW), containing an array of toxic pollutants above permissible limits even after conventional primary and secondary treatment, needs a tertiary (polishing) step to meet the statutory limit. In the present study, a suitable bacterial-microalgal consortium (Culture C) was constructed using bacterial (Culture B: Bacillus sp. NITD 19) and microalgal (Culture A: a consortium of Chlorella sp.

Phycoremediation of pollutants from secondary treated coke-oven wastewater using poultry litter as nutrient source: a cost-effective polishing technique.

This article focuses on the phycoremediation of pollutants from secondary treated coke-oven effluent through a green and economical route. A microalgal sample was collected and identified as a consortium of Chlorella sp. and Synechococcus sp.

Enhancement of nutritional value of fried fish using an artificial intelligence approach.

Frying affects the nutritional quality of fish detrimentally. In this study, using Catla catla and mustard oil, experiments were carried out in varying temperatures (140-240 °C), times (5-20 min), and oil amounts (25-100 ml/kg of fish) which established drastic reduction of 44.97% and 99.

Tandem Detection of Sub-Nano Molar Level CN and Hg in Aqueous Medium by a Suitable Molecular Sensor: A Viable Solution for Detection of CN and Development of the RGB-Based Sensory Device.

An inimitable urea-based multichannel chemosensor, [1,5-bis-(2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)carbonohydrazide], was examined to be highly proficient to recognize CN based on the H-bonding interaction between sensor -NH moiety and CN in aqueous medium with explicit selectivity. In the absorption spectral titration of , a new peak at higher wavelength was emerged in titrimetric analytical studies of CN with the zero-order reaction kinetics affirming the substantial sensor-analyte interaction. The isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiment further affirmed that the sensing process was highly spontaneous with the Gibbs free energy of -26 × 10 cal/mol.

Sequestration of carbon dioxide and production of biomolecules using cyanobacteria.

A cyanobacterial strain, Synechococcus sp. NIT18, has been applied to sequester CO using sodium carbonate as inorganic carbon source due to its efficiency of CO bioconversion and high biomass production. The biomass obtained is used for the extraction of biomolecules - protein, carbohydrate and lipid.

Bioremediation of phenol from synthetic and real wastewater using sp.: a comparison and assessment of lipid production.

Bioremediation of wastewater is gaining popularity over chemical treatment due to the greener aspect. The volume of literature containing algal biodegradation is small. Especially, removal of toxic materials like phenol from coke-oven wastewater using fast-growing cyanobacteria was not tried.

Evaluation of fluoride bioremediation and production of biomolecules by living cyanobacteria under fluoride stress condition.

Application of microalgae for defluoridation has gained interest in recent years. In the present study, bioremediation of fluoride using living cyanobacteria, Starria zimbabweensis, collected from wastewater of coke-oven effluent treatment plant, Durgapur, India, has been investigated. Initially, the cyanobacterial strain was grown in BG11 medium at 25°C, 45μmol/m/s irradiation in 18h: 6h light:dark cycle in an algal incubator.

Validated Stability-Indicating RP-HPLC Method for the Estimation of Degradation Behaviour of Organic Peroxide and Third-Generation Synthetic Retinoids in Topical Pharmaceutical Dosage Formulation.

The objective of the current study was to establish a validated stability-indicating, high-performance liquid chromatographic method to determine the purity of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and adapalene (ADP) in the presence of its impurities, forced degradation products, and placebo in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The desired chromatographic separation was achieved on the Kinetex(™) C18 (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) column using gradient elution at 272 nm detection wavelength.

Fourier-transform-infrared-spectroscopy based spectral-biomarker selection towards optimum diagnostic differentiation of oral leukoplakia and cancer.

In search of specific label-free biomarkers for differentiation of two oral lesions, namely oral leukoplakia (OLK) and oral squamous-cell carcinoma (OSCC), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was performed on paraffin-embedded tissue sections from 47 human subjects (eight normal (NOM), 16 OLK, and 23 OSCC). Difference between mean spectra (DBMS), Mann-Whitney's U test, and forward feature selection (FFS) techniques were used for optimising spectral-marker selection. Classification of diseases was performed with linear and quadratic support vector machine (SVM) at 10-fold cross-validation, using different combinations of spectral features.
