Adsorption Potential of Cassia fistula Seed Activated Carbon for the treatment of laundry Wastewater
Authors: Tassadaq Hadia 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

The gap between water supply and water demands is increasing day by day. With rapid increase in global population, the utilization of water is also increased which also result into wastewater generation. Among others, domestic wastewater contribute majorly in this waste generation. Grey water in domestic wastewater can be a potential source of water pollution if not be treated. Source of grey water is usually residential zone areas which includes laundry effluents, kitchen wastes etc. It was estimated that in a day if laundry industry washes 1 kg clothes it will consume 15 L water and will produce 400m3 of wastewater, which includes contaminants such as heavy metals, organic contaminants etc. As a result, even at small concentrations, these pollutants are irresistibly pushed into our food chain. So, heavy metals should be removed from the WW through appropriate method. Different treatment methods have been recognized but adsorption is more effective due to its high performance and no by product. This study aimed to develop an eco-friendly adsorbent with high adsorption potential for removing heavy metals from laundry wastewater. Activated carbon (AC) was synthesized from Cassia fistula seeds using 40% H₃PO₄. The adsorption was performed using batch experiments, optimizing various operating parameters, including adsorbent dose (g/mL), pH, contact time (hours), and temperature (℃).Several tests were conducted on the activated carbon (AC), including moisture content, volatile matter, ash content, and fixed carbon. Characterization of the AC was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Various parameters, including pH, EC, COD, and TDS, of the laundry wastewater were measured before and after treatment at different pH levels and adsorbent dosages (g/mL).The experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficiency of the adsorbent in achieving maximum removal of heavy metals such as Pb, Zn, Ni, and Cu from wastewater. The activated carbon derived from Cassia fistula showed removal efficiencies of 96% for Pb, 95% for Cr, 94% for As, 93% for Ni, 92% for Cu, 90% for Zn and 90% for Cd. The treated wastewater was further analyzed for its effect on wheat seed germination.

Abstract

Columbin, a key secondary metabolite in Tinospora sagittata, exhibits diverse pharmacological properties, yet its content shows notable variation across different varieties. This study investigated the molecular and biochemical basis behind such variation, analyzing columbin content in 32 T. sagittata varieties ranging from 5.40 mg/g to 46.09 mg/g. High and low-columbin-content varieties were selected for in-depth transcriptomic and untargeted metabolomic analyses. Differential expression patterns of genes and metabolites between leaves and rhizomes of these selected varieties were explored. Results revealed that genes involved in the columbin biosynthesis pathway, namely, DXS, DXR, MCS, GPPS, and PMK, exhibited significantly higher expression in high columbin content varieties. At the same time, HMGR and HDR levels were notably lower. Furthermore, high columbin-content varieties contained increased isoprene levels, a crucial columbin precursor. These findings suggest gene expression and precursor content variations likely drive columbin content differences across T. sagittata varieties. This molecular insight into columbin biosynthesis clarifies the basis for content variation and provides valuable direction for breeding and cultivating high columbin-content T. sagittata varieties, amplifying its potential therapeutic applications.
Investigation of Shear Lag Effect in Reinforced Concrete Tubular Tall Buildings Considering Creep and construction stages

Published: November 2024

Abstract

The phenomenon of shear lag occurs in structures with a tubular system due to the uneven vertical displacement of columns located on the flange of the structure. Each interior column will experience less deformation and stress compared to the exterior column on its side. Since external applied loads must be resisted by internal coupling caused by tensile and compressive forces on opposite sides of the neutral axis of the structure, the stresses in corner columns will be higher than those resulting from pure tubular behavior, and the stresses in intermediate columns will be lower. This leads to a non-linear distribution of axial stress. Creep under sustained gravity load in reinforced concrete pipe systems also causes uneven vertical displacement, affecting horizontal members. Due to the presence of uncertain constraints, the aforementioned strains and deformations result in additional internal efforts. The purpose of this article is to investigate the effect of creep and differential shortening of columns on the shear lag phenomenon in high-rise reinforced concrete tubular structures. A 20-story structural model with a square plan was used in the analyses. The structure was analyzed conventionally and step by step to account for the effect of creep. To evaluate the results of structural analyses, a dimensionless parameter called the shear lag index was defined. The study is based on the long-term effects of differential column shortening on the shear lag index. The results indicate that the shear lag in the tension and compression flanges of the structure under external moments differs due to differential time-dependent shortening. In the compression flange of the studied structure, the shear lag index has increased by 10%. This highlights the necessity of considering the creep phenomenon when examining shear lag. Additionally, Creep strains can significantly increase the axial force in the web members of the structure.

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the effect of biochar produced from different agricultural wastes on lettuce seedling development characteristics in some vegetable species. In the research, biochars obtained from 6 different agricultural biomass (chicken manure, wood shavings, vineyard pruning waste, olive pruning waste, walnut shell and dried fig) at 500°C pyrolysis temperature were applied at 8 different doses (0.25%, 0.50%, 1%). The effects of biochars and application doses on the development parameters of lettuce were investigated. In the light of the findings obtained, the effect of biochar applications on lettuce seedling stem length was found to be statistically insignificant. When the effect of biochar applications on the amount of chlorophyll in lettuce seedlings was examined, the highest chlorophyll amount was determined to increase in the application dose of chicken manure biochar, while the lowest chlorophyll amount was determined to be significant in high application dose of olive biochar.

Microsponge containing Flutrimazole drug with six different proportions of Eudragit RS 100 as polymer were obtained successfully using quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion method. Particle size and physical properties of the formulations were examined. Physical properties showed that microsponge formulations MS IV and MS VI exhibited better material efficiency and yield. Two microsponge formulations were prepared as gels in 0.35% w/w carbomer and examined for pH, viscosity, permeability, drug content, in vitro release, antibacterial activity, and in vivo antifungal activity on Rabbit skin. The viscosity of the microsponge preparation gel MFG 1 is 4390 cps, the transmission is 19.27 g cm/s, and the drug content is 85.2%. Antibiotic research shows that compared with pure drug, the inhibition zone of microsponge formulation gels MFG 1 and MFG 2 is 13.5 mm and 12.0 mm, respectively, and the inhibition zone of pure drug is 18.2 mm. These formulations also showed better antifungal activity on fungal-induced Rabbit skin compared to the no-drug control. The microsponge flutrimazole gel formulation shows a favorable drug release profile and also minimizes gel application in fungal treatment.

Invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) are an increasingly common complication in critically ill patients in world and are frequently fatal. Because of changes in treatment strategies and the increased use of antifungal prophylaxis, the epidemiology of IFDs has changed substantially in recent years and infections due to Candida species are no longer the majority in many institutions. Invasive candidiasis (IC) can affect individuals with various underlying diseases hospitalized in different parts of hospitals. In recent decades, IC has caused 27–55% mortality in general population. Treatment of invasive fungal infections is challenging as the number of existing antifungals is limited and more problems include: toxicity, drug interactions, and drug resistance. Hence there is need to acknowledge alternative remedies for fungal treatment. Plants are not only important to the millions of people to whom traditional medicine serves as the only opportunity for health care and to those who use plants for various purposes in their daily lives, but also as a source of new pharmaceuticals. The use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against various pathogens is now being well recognized in the agriculture and health sector.

The Syndicate of Czechoslovak Journalists drafted a complete outline of the law on the Press Chamber in 1929 and submitted it to the Ministry of Justice, which drafted a referent draft of the outline of the law and submitted it for discussion. The main obstacle to finding a general consensus was the opposition of the three largest publishers – “Melantrich”, “Noviny” and “Národní politika”, who pointed to three major problems. First, where to place those who are both editors and publishers of their own newspapers. Second, there was the problem of voting rights, with the editors pointing out that the decisive factor was the circulation and importance of the newspaper and therefore demanding two-thirds of the vote for the daily newspapers and one-third for the other press. The main problem, however, was the opposition to the press chamber as such, where publishers did not want to negotiate together with editors in the central committee and in the chamber’s presidium, where publishers and editors were equally represented.

The article deals with the analysis of the acquisition of real estate from a non-owner as an exception to the classical Roman principle of nemo plus iuris. When acquiring ownership of real estate registered in the real estate cadastre, the principle of protection of ownership applies, as well as the principle of legal certainty and protection of good faith. Breaking the principle of nemo plus iuris in the form of jurisprudence is not entirely desirable. It would be appropriate for the legislator, when recodifying civil law in Slovakia, to consistently deal with the necessary reasons for breaking this principle. In the given situation, within the framework of de lege ferenda considerations, the solution could be the creation of a public fund, where contributions would be made either as part of cadastre fees or a special insurance system would be created that could be used by traders and would protect them from the loss of what is often a lifetime savings.

The Chamber of Deputies has approved a major amendment to the Labour Code, effective from October 2023, which significantly strengthens employees‘ rights and seeks a better work-life balance. The changes also concern agreements on work outside the employment, where the rights of employees are increased, and the obligations of employers are expanded. These significant changes aim to bring the agreements closer to the traditional employment, and the question that the paper examines is whether these changes lead to a reduction in the flexibility of the agreements, which are still classified as flexible forms of employment in Czech labour law.
