Magnetic casein-CaFeO nanohybrid carrier conjugated with progesterone for enhanced cytotoxicity of citrus peel derived hesperidin drug towards breast and ovarian cancer.

A novel progesterone-receptor targeted nanohybrid carrier based delivery of hesperidin was investigated in the present work. Casein‑calcium ferrite nanohybrid carrier was synthesized using desolvation followed by ionic-gelation. The citrus peel extracted hesperidin drug (CHD) was encapsulated in the carrier via pH based coacervation, after which the targeting ligand progesterone was conjugated through activate ester procedure.

Heavy metal removal from copper smelting effluent using electrochemical cylindrical flow reactor.

The purpose of this study is mainly to evaluate the performance of the continuous recirculation flow cell at low current density and pH (the pH at which the effluents are available) in removing heavy metals from copper smelting effluent by cathodic reduction. During the electrolysis at different pH, % removal of heavy metals removal, energy consumption and heterogeneous reaction rate constants were investigated at given flow rate and current density on the selected industrial effluent. The overall specific energy consumption at the pH 0.
