Assessment of Garbage Enzyme as a Bioremediation Method for the Wastewater Treatment.

This study evaluates the efficacy of garbage enzyme (GE) in bioremediation to reduce pollutants in sewage drains that discharge into the natural streams and rivers. Garbage enzyme is prepared with help of brown sugar, fruit, vegetable wastes, and water in the proportion 1:3:10 (by weight), which is then applied to the samples collected from various drainage sites in Jaunpur district, Uttar Pradesh, India. Different concentrations of GE (ranging from 0% to 20%) are mixed with sewage to assess pollution reduction.

Novel polyvinyl alcohol-bioglass 45S5 based composite nanofibrous membranes as bone scaffolds.

Composite nanofibrous membranes based on sol-gel derived 45SiO2 24.5CaO 24.5 Na2O 6 P2O5 (bioglass, BG) and 43SiO2 24.

Evaluation of sol-gel based magnetic 45S5 bioglass and bioglass-ceramics containing iron oxide.

Multicomponent oxide powders with nominal compositions of (45-x)·SiO2·24.5CaO·24.5Na2O·6P2O5xFe2O3 (in wt.

Electrospun polyvinyl alcohol-polyvinyl pyrrolidone nanofibrous membranes for interactive wound dressing application.

Cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) composite nanofibrous membranes have been prepared by electrospinning. Mechanical properties of the membranes improved significantly with PVP addition. PVP improved hydrophilicity and sustainable degradation of the membranes.
