Investigation of the influence of Candida tropicalis on bioethanol production using sugarcane bagasse: stochastic and in silico analysis.

This study investigated the impact of Candida tropicalis NITCSK13 on sugarcane bagasse (SCB) consolidated bioprocessing (CSB) using various parameters, such as pH, steam explosion (STEX) pretreatment, and temperature (at two different temperatures, cellulose hydrolysis and ethanol fermentation). The backpropagation neural network (BPNN) method simulated the optimal CSB conditions, achieving a maximum ethanol yield of 44 ± 0.32 g/L (0.

Functionalized nanofibers in gas sorption process: a critical review on the challenges and prospective research.

Air pollution has become the most important environmental and human health threat as it is accounting for about 7 million deaths across the globe every year. Particulate matter (PM) derived from the combustion of fossil fuels, biomass, and other agricultural residues pollutes the atmospheric air which affects the quality of the environment and poses a great threat to human health. Ecological imbalance, climatic variation, and cardiovascular and respiratory problems among humans are significant extortions due to PM pollution.

Sustainable application of nanoparticles in wastewater treatment: Fate, current trend & paradigm shift.

Existing water and wastewater treatment techniques are becoming increasingly difficult to employ due to the discovery of new toxins, the rapid development of population and industrial activities, and the limited quantity of water resources. Treatment of wastewater is a critical need in modern civilization due to a scarcity of water resources and rising industrial activity. Some of the techniques utilized include adsorption, flocculation, filtration, and others, although they are only used for primary wastewater treatment.

Sustainable organic waste management using vermicomposting: a critical review on the prevailing research gaps and opportunities.

Logistic growth of human population, exponential rate in agronomic industries and feeble waste management practices have resulted in the massive generation of organic wastes. Vermicomposting is one of the eco-biotechnological practices to efficiently transform them into stable and nutrient-rich organic manure with the synergetic actions of earthworms and soil microbiota. Vermicompost, a derivative product has the desirable physicochemical traits such as excellent porosity, buffering actions, aeration and water holding capacity.

Process intensification of biopolymer polyhydroxybutyrate production by pseudomonas putida SS9: A statistical approach.

There are numerous elements of daily life where plastic is employed, yet it is uncertain exactly when it will deteriorate. Poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a biodegradable polymer, is viewed as a possible substitute for synthetic plastics made from petroleum. With Pseudomonas putida SS9, the current study sought to enhance operational conditions and nutritional factors to enhance PHB production.

Metanil Yellow dye adsorption using green and chemical mediated synthesized manganese ferrite: An insight into equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics.

Green Manganese Ferrite (GMF) and Chemical mediated Manganese Ferrite (CMF) were designed and prepared via in situ co-precipitation method and their adsorption potential was compared using the model dye, Metanil Yellow (MY). Previously, an extract of aquatic macrophyte and metal chloride were employed for the development of ecofriendly GMF. Alternatively, CMF has been synthesized through chemical co-precipitation from metal chloride precursors.

Fenalan Yellow G adsorption using surface-functionalized green nanoceria: An insight into mechanism and statistical modelling.

In the present study, green nanoceria (gNC) was synthesized and surface-functionalized (sf-gNC) with amine moieties through chemical means and used as an adsorbent for the removal of Fenalan Yellow G (FYG) from the aqueous solution. Prior to the adsorption process, the optical, structural and textural characteristics of the nanomaterial ensured the presence of highly crystalline and monodisperse nanoceria with the functionalized amine group on their surfaces. The effects of the independent variables of the FYG removal process including initial solution pH, adsorbent dose, initial adsorbate concentration and time were examined for the percent removal.
