The effect of various physicochemical parameters such as pH, adsorbent dose, initial fluoride concentration and the presence of interfering co-ions on adsorption of fluoride has been investigated. The 10%La-bentonite shows higher fluoride uptake capacity for defluoridation of drinking water as compared to Mg-bentonite, Mn-bentonite and bare bentonite clay. The uptake of fluoride in acidic pH was higher as compared to alkaline pH. The equilibrium adsorption data fitted reasonably well in both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. It was also observed that in the presence of certain co-existing ions can have positive effect on removal of fluoride, while carbonate and bicarbonate anions show deleterious effect. The rate of adsorption was reasonably rapid and maximum fluoride uptake was attained within 30 min. The modified adsorbent material shows better fluoride removal properties for actual field water, which could be due to the positive effect of other co-ions present in the field water.

Biopolymer chitosan was used as a template and also as a nitrogen source along with ammonium hydroxide. Three different types of N-doped mesoporous titania were synthesized by varying composition of chitosan and titania precursor. These photocatalysts were characterized using XRD, BET-SA, FTIR, UV-DRS, SEM-EDX and XPS analysis. The photocatalytic activity of mesoporous titania was studied by methyl orange (MO) photoreduction reaction. From the experimental results it was observed that the N-doped mesoporous titania (1:2) gives the highest photocatalytic reduction of MO as compared to N-doped mesoporous titania prepared with (1:1) and (1:3) stoichiometry. This could be due to the optimal level of `N' incorporation in the N-doped mesoporous titania (1:2). Photocatalysts reduce the MO dye into derivative of hydrazine. Photoactivity of N-doped mesoporous titania (1:2) is 1.0721 mg of MO reduced per g of TiO2 vis-a-vis 0.508 mg of MO reduced per g of TiO2 for Degussa P25 photocatalyst. The effect of various operating parameters like photocatalyst loading. initial concentration and intensity of light also has been studied. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

The effects of different operating parameters such as adsorbent dose, initial fluoride concentration, pH of the solution and interfering ions (usually present in groundwater) were studied with a view to understand the adsorption behavior of the material under various conditions. A thermodynamic study shows that the adsorption of fluoride by alkoxide origin alumina is an exothermic and spontaneous process. The kinetic results showed that the fluoride sorption follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. The applicability of adsorbent in the field is also tested through column breakthrough studies. It has been observed that with an increase in the flow rate and initial fluoride concentration, the breakthrough curve becomes sharper and the breakthrough time and adsorbed fluoride ion concentration decrease. The breakthrough curve also becomes steeper as the bed height increases. The alkoxide origin alumina based adsorbent media can be used directly for field applications since it is also commercially available in granular form. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

The driving force behind the use of bauxite residue as a photocatalyst is not only the fact that it is widely available but also bauxite residue is a fine grained mixture of oxides and hydroxides (Fe(2)O(3), TiO(2), SiO(2), and Al(2)O(3), Al(OH)3). The photocatalyst was characterized with respect to BET-SA, UV-DRS, XRD, SEM and EDX. Hydrogen yield of 4600 mu mol/h/g of TiO(2) was achieved as compared to hydrogen evolution rate of 164 mu mol/h/g of TiO(2) for commercially available titania Degussa P-25. However, the hydrogen evolution was 20.85 mu mol/h/g of photocatalyst. The results suggest that bauxite residue appears to be a novel low cost photocatalyst. The various operating conditions of photocatalytic hydrogen generation were studied which include amount of catalyst, illumination intensity, illumination time, effect of various sacrificial donors etc. (C) 2009 Professor T.

The palladium complex catalyzed transvinylation of lauric acid using vinyl acetate monomer is a reversible reaction. In present article, design of experiments (DOE) statistics is used to study effects of various operating parameters on transvinylation of lauric acid. The kinetic parameters forward and backward rate constants and the thermodynamic parameters such as equilibrium constant and energy of activation of the transvinylation of lauric acid were estimated using the Dynochem model. The optimum operating parameters for the transvinylation of lauric acid were then predicted using the Dynochem model and verified by performing the actual experiments to validate the model. It was found that the experimental results match with the predicted one. (c) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The photocatalytic activity of the prepared N-doped mesoporous titania for phenol and o-chlorophenol degradation was investigated under solar and artificial radiation. The rate of photocatalytic degradation was observed to be higher for o-chlorophenol than that of phenol. The photodegradation of o-chlorophenol was 98.62% and 72.2%, while in case of phenol, degradation to the tune of 69.25% and 30.58% was achieved in solar and artificial radiation.

Methyl acetate, methyl benzoate, methyl salicylate, and methyl lactate have been synthesized by esterification of sodium acetate, sodium benzoate, sodium salicylate, and calcium lactate, respectively. The esterification reaction was carried out in a batch as well as in a semicontinuous mode of operation. A detailed study on the esterification of calcium lactate using methanol and carbon dioxide was carried out to record the effects of various operating parameters (like CO2 pressure, reaction temperature, moisture content in the calcium lactate, and initial concentrations of calcium lactate) on the esterification reaction. This synthesis route produces highly pure methyl lactate by direct esterification of calcium lactate with calcium carbonate as byproduct. The byproduct calcium carbonate was characterized for its crystallinity, surface area, and pore volume. The process route has the advantage that the synthesized byproduct can be recycled into the fermenter to make corresponding alkali metal lactate or the finely precipitated calcium carbonate can be used for various other applications. Thus, the recovery and recycle of alkali metal is possible providing a pollution free process for synthesis of pure methyl lactate.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.206

The cost of renewable biomass-derived PLA will have to compete with other synthetic polymers, if it is to grab a significant and sustainable fraction of the market share. It is thus necessary to have efficient and cost-effective technology for the production of pure-grade lactic acid (LA). In this article, a novel cost-effective, eco-friendly continuous process for the production of high-quality lactic acid at pilot plant scale has been demonstrated. The novelty of this process is that, for the first time, we report and use the concept of inverse reactive distillation for the esterification of crude concentrated LA in a continuous countercurrent packed column mode. This allows us to operate the column at higher temperatures, improving the kinetic rate process and leading to shorter columns. This is followed by the hydrolysis of methyl lactate (MLA) in a series of three continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTRs), where LA itself acts as a catalyst. The LA obtained in the pilot plant process shows 99.81% purity (by weight) on water-free basis and has an optical purity of 99.9%.

Systematic adsorption experiments were carried out to elucidate the effects of different process parameters such as adsorbent dose, initial fluoride concentration, pH of the solution and effect of other ions (usually present in groundwater). These studies were aimed to understand the adsorption behaviour of the PURAL (R) MG-20 adsorbents. Fluoride adsorption by PURAL (R) MG-20 sorbent was found pH dependent. Maximum fluoride removal efficiency was observed in the range of pH 5-7. Langmuir isotherm described the data better than Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models and the adsorption capacity was found to be 5.62 mg g(-1) at initial fluoride concentration of 5.13 mg L-1, pH 7 and contact time 24 h. The kinetic result shows that the fluoride sorption follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. Column breakthrough studies were performed to test the performance of the adsorbent media at continuous mode of operation. Thus, it can be concluded that PURAL (R) MG-20 adsorbent can be used directly for field applications since it shows high fluoride uptake capacity under simulated drinking water conditions and it is also commercially available.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.685

The present manuscript discusses the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution using an emulsion ionic liquid membrane (EILM) process. Initially, the emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) was prepared by stirring strip phase (sulphuric acid) and organic phase (surfactant: span 80, extractant: D2EHPA, diluent: hexane) together under high speed agitation. Note that, the parameters of the ELM process such as emulsification speed, pH of the feed phase, treat ratio, extractant and surfactant concentrations were studied for the maximum removal of Pb(II) ions. The role of IL was explored by adding hydrophobic IL, octylmethylimidazole hexafluorophosphine ([OMIM][PF6]), in the organic phase. The performance of ELM with and without IL was compared on the basis of stability, enrichment factor and the removal efficiency for Pb(II). The results showed that the percentage of Pb(II) extraction was complete by the emulsion membrane with IL (EILM) in comparison to the 97% achieved by neat ELM. Further, the stability and the enrichment factor of the EILM were found to be 2-3 times greater than that of the ELM. The FT-IR spectroscopic analysis revealed that bond interactions between IL and membrane phase components avoided the coalescence of internal phase droplets and enhanced the emulsion stability. The results obtained in this work support the use of the IL [OMIM][PF6] as both a stabilizer and carrier for the overall improvement of the ELM process.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">94</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hg_base_secs&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;opt_hg_base_number&quot;&gt;3.289&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kalshetti, Rupali G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Venkataramasubramanian, V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamble, Sanjay P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sudalai, Arumugam</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Concise enantioselective synthesis of (+)-sertraline and (-)-CP-52002 using proline catalysis</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tetrahedron Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indatraline</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mannich reaction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proline catalysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sertraline</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tametraline</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">57</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1053-1055</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A short enantioselective synthesis of (+)-sertraline and its C-4 epimer (-)-CP-52002 with an overall yield of 30%, respectively, as its hydrochloride has been described.

The morphology of nanoparticles was investigated by using X ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X ray, UV-visible spectrophotometer and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analyser. The Cu-0 nanoparticles along with reducing agents, NaBH4/5% acidified alcohol were used for the dechlorination of chloroaromatics at room temperature. Chlorobenzene (Cl-B), chlorotoluene (Cl-T), chloropyridine (Cl-Py) and chlorobiphenyl (Cl-BPh) were selected as the contaminants. The effect of various operating parameters such as pH, concentration of the catalyst and reducing agent (NaBH4), and recycling of the catalyst on dechlorination were studied. Nearly complete dechlorination of all the chloroaromatics were achieved in the presence of Cu-0 nanoparticles (2.5 g L-1) and NaBH4 (1.0 g L-1.) within 12 h. On the contrary, approximately 70% of dechlorination was observed in the presence of 5% acidified alcohol at similar experimental conditions. The dechlorination mechanism highlighted the importance of Cu-0 nanoparticles as a surface mediator. The kinetics of the dechlorination of chloroaromatics was investigated and compared with chloroaliphatics. The dechlorination rate differed from 0.23 h(-1) (Cl-B) to 0.15 h(-1) (Cl-BPh) in the presence of Cu-0 nanoparticles and NaBH4. The effectiveness of Cu nanoparticles with NaBH4 (1 g L-1) and 5% acidified alcohol as electron donors were studied by oxidation-reduction potential and observed to be -1016 mV and -670 mV, respectively. Final products of the dechlorination were benzene, toluene, pyridine and biphenyl, as identified by gas chromatograph mass spectrometer and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

The effect of variables such as column length-to-diameter ratio, catalyst cube dimension, and feed flow rate on the treatment of sewage water was studied. The reaction kinetics indicates that the nutrients uptake rate is dependent on both pore and film diffusion. The kinetics of uptake of nutrients follows a pseudo first-order reaction. From the pseudo reaction rate constant, Thiele modulus and effectiveness factor were calculated and a kinetic model equation for fractional nutrient uptake was developed in terms of operating variables.

The effects of different operating parameters like initial concentration of CFX, catalyst loading, pH of solution and effect of co-existing ions on photocatalytic degradation of CFX have been investigated with a view to establish the optimum operating conditions. It is observed that as the initial concentration of CFX increases, the rate of photocatalytic degradation decreases. Optimum catalyst loading is observed at 1 g L-1 for CFX concentration of 100 mg L-1. Over the pH range 3-11, maximum degradation rate occurs at pH 9. The mechanism and intermediates formed during the photocatalytic degradation of CFX are discussed based on UPLC-MS/MS analysis. From kinetic studies, it is found that the photocatalytic degradation obeys pseudo-first order kinetics. The degradation rate constant using solar radiation is about 1.7 times higher than that under artificial radiation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Indian&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.729</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shetty, Rohit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chavan, Vilas B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulkarni, Prashant Shripad</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulkarni, Bhaskar D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamble, Sanjay P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceuticals pollutants using N-doped TiO 2 photocatalyst: identification of CFX degradation intermediates</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indian Chemical Engineer</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">59</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was synthesized by the sol–gel method and characterized in detail in terms of its morphology, structure and composition.

To verify the beneficial effect of N-doped TiO2 for PCD of CFX, similar experiments were carried out using commercially available Aeroxide P-25 TiO2. It was observed that N-doped TiO2 was more efficient than Aeroxide® P-25 TiO2. It was also found that the PCD of CFX in the presence of N-doped TiO2 was highly efficient under the solar radiation as compared with artificial radiation. The effect of various operating parameters, such as adsorption of CFX, pH of the aqueous solution, effect of co-existing ions on PCD of CFX, was investigated using artificial radiation and optimum conditions were established. The intermediates formed during the PCD of CFX were identified using liquid chromatography tandem mass chromatography (LC-MS/MS). The presented results demonstrate that N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst shows excellent photocatalytic activity in the visible region for the degradation of pharmaceutical pollutants.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indian</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.145</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khedkar, Manisha A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nimbalkar, Pranhita R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamble, Sanjay P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gaikwad, Shashank G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chavan, Prakash V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bankar, Sandip B.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> Process intensification strategies for enhanced holocellulose solubilization: Beneficiation of pineapple peel waste for cleaner butanol production</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Cleaner Production</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">199</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">937-947</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biorefinery sector has become a serious dispute for cleaner and sustainable development in recent years. In the present study, pretreatment of pineapple peel waste was carried out in high pressure reactor using various pretreatment-enhancers. The type and concentration effect of each enhancer on hemicellulose solubilization was systematically investigated. The binary acid (phenol + sulfuric acid) at 180 degrees C was found to be superior amongst other studied enhancers, giving 81.17% (w/v) hemicellulose solubilization in liquid-fraction under optimized conditions. Solid residue thus obtained was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis that resulted into 24.50% (w/v) cellulose breakdown. Treated solid residue was further characterized by scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to elucidate structural changes. The pooled fractions (acid treated and enzymatically hydrolyzed) were fermented using Clostridium acetobutylicum NRRL B 527 which resulted in butanol production of 5.18 g/L with yield of 0.13 g butanol/g sugar consumed. Therefore, pretreatment of pineapple peel waste evaluated in this study can be considered as milestone in utilization of low cost feedstock, for bioenergy production. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

The catalysts were characterized by N-2 adsorption, N2O titration, XRD (X-ray diffraction), H-2-TPR (H-2 temperature-programmed reduction), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), and CO2-TPD (CO2 temperature-programmed desorption) techniques, and CO2 hydrogenation to methanol synthesis was performed. The use of Ga in Cu catalysts enhanced the weak basic sites more than the Cu catalysts with Al. With the CuGa nanocomposite formation, the catalyst showed a sequential reduction of CuO, for example, Cu+2 to Cu+ to Cu-0, and the Cu surface area was also high in comparison with CuAl. These findings confirmed that both the Cu surface area and CuO reducibility in the catalyst helped to boost the conversion of CO2, whereas selectivity to methanol was associated with the basicity of the catalyst. CuAl catalysts showed very poor selectivity to methanol despite CO formation, which could be due to the weak interaction of the CuAl nanocomposite catalysts compared to the CuGa nanocomposite catalysts.&lt;/p&gt;

India’s pharmaceutical industry has emerged as the world’s third largest in terms of volume of production. As a leading science-based industry, the pharmaceutical industry contributes to the tune of 1% of India’s total GDP. Ever increasing international demand of these products drives continued rapid expansion of the pharmaceutical industry. India becomes a preferred manufacturing location for PPCPs, which is obvious from the export of PPCPs to over 65 countries. This is primarily because of the manufacturing cost advantage. Nevertheless, the major concern of these PPCPs is their nonpassive nature. They are not benign travelers in the environment but rather they are bioaccumulative and their retention becomes toxic to wildlife and human beings. It is reported that residual PPCPs may cause endocrine disruptions that can change hormonal actions, although the adverse impact of PPCPs on human health and the environment is still not fully understood. Therefore, there is an urgent need to protect our limited water resources and the available aquatic species from deterioration due to residual PPCPs. A variety of technologies, including physical, biological, and chemical processes, have been extensively investigated for the removal of PPCPs from wastewater. Recently, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and advanced materials have shown great promise as an efficient alternative for mineralization of such refractory species. Therefore, a critical review of the recent advances in PPCP removal is imperative to gauge their performance. In this chapter, we briefly summarize the advances made in the technologies for PPCPs removal, followed by an in-depth review of the removal of PPCPs by advanced materials and AOPs.</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NA</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhosale, Vikas K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chana, Harpreet K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamble, Sanjay P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulkarni, Prashant S.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Separation of nitroaromatics from wastewater by using supported ionic liquid membranes</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Water Process Engineering</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ionic liquid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Membrane</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nitroaromatics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Separation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">wastewater</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEC</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">100925</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Nitroaromatics have been released into wastewater during its production and application, thus, contaminating the ecosystem. The stringent discharge limits of industrial effluents have led to the development of sustainable technologies for removal of nitroaromatics from wastewater. In the present investigation, separation of nitroaromatic compounds such as TNT, TNP and Tetryl from model wastewater was investigated by using supported ionic liquid membrane (SILM) process. Various aliquat 336 based ionic liquids (ILs) were synthesised and characterized, and immobilized in PTFE and PVDF supports for the preparation of SILMs. The key parameters such as type of IL and striping phase, feed phase pH, selectivity for SILM, extraction kinetics and reuse of SILM were studied, in detail. The size of IL-anion plays an important role in removal process. The SILM was found to be selective for TNP over other nitroaromatics. Maximum separation of TNP (&amp;lt; 95%) was achieved with IL, [A336][SCN] within 12 h. Selectivity and reuse of the membrane indicate the potential of SILM technology as a sustainable chemical process for the treatment of nitroaromatics contaminated wastewater.&lt;/p&gt;

Materials: And: Methodology: Forty-eight disc-shaped specimens of each material were immersed in deionized water to determine the fluoride release utilizing a fluoride ion-selective electrode. After 21 days, 8 specimens were soaked in 0.22% Sodium Fluoride solution for 2 min; 8 specimens were coated with 1.23% Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride (APF) gel for 4 min, and the fluoride-recharging ability was evaluated for 40 days. Data were analyzed using one way-ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc tests. Results: Total fluoride release over the 21-day period was: Fuji VII &amp;gt; BeautiSealant &amp;gt; Helioseal F, (P = 0.000). After refluoridation of the specimens with 0.22% Sodium Fluoride solution, the cumulative fluoride release during the 40-day period for each material was: BeautiSealant &amp;gt; Fuji VII &amp;gt; Helioseal (P = 0.000). After exposure to 1.23% APF gel, the cumulative fluoride release during the 40-day period for each material was: BeautiSealant &amp;gt; Fuji VII &amp;gt; Helioseal F (P = 0.000).

The dechlorination of 4-CP was investigated by using various catalysts such as bimetallic (Fe-0/Cu-0, Al-0/Fe-0), Pd/C, Raney Ni and Fe-0 at room temperature. Among the catalysts studied, Raney Ni proved to be very economical and efficient catalyst that worked without the use of an external reducing agent. The dechlorination of 4-CP by Raney Ni was therefore further explored. Complete dechlorination of 4-CP (30 mg L-1) was achieved in 6 hat an optimum Raney Ni catalyst loading of 3 g L-1. The effect of triethylamine (TEA) and tripropylamine (TPA) was also investigated and it was observed that 100% dechlorination is possible in presence of 45 mg L-1 of TEA. The kinetics of dechlorination of 4-CP was investigated and found to be first order with a rate constant of 0.017 min(-1) at 50 degrees C, and it enhances to 0.109 min(-1) with addition of TEA. In the absence of a reducing agent, acidic to neutral pH favors dechlorination of 4-CP. The final product of dechlorination was estimated to be phenol by performing HPLC, LCMS and NMR analysis. Based on the results, a probable dechlorination mechanism of 4-CP is also proposed. It can be concluded that the catalytic hydrodechlorination is an effective and economical technique for dechlorination of 4-CP and it has a potential for the dechlorination of other toxic derivatives of chlorinated aromatics.

W-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized in ionic liquid, ethyl methyl imidazolium dicyanamide (EMIM-DCA) by a solvothermal method. The developed NPs were sintered at 500 degrees C and characterized by UV-Vis-DRS, FT-IR, FE-SEM, XRD, XPS, and BET techniques. The 30-40-nm-sized NPs were subjected to photocatalytic degradation of the toxic energetic compound, tetryl (2,4,6-trinitrophenylmethylnitramine) under UV-Vis light. Various operating parameters such as the effect of concentration of catalyst, pH of feed phase, oxidizing agents, and recycling of catalyst were studied in detail. For the first time, the degradation-mechanism pathway and kinetics of tetryl were evaluated. The degradation products were precisely analyzed by using HPLC, GC-MS, and TOC techniques. The USEPA has prescribed a drinking water limit of 0.02 mg L-1, and it was found that 0.5 g of 4% W-TiO2 could totally degrade tetryl (50 mg L-1) within 8 h. The kinetic rate constant of 4% W-TiO2 was 0.356 h(-1), whereas pure TiO2 showed 0.207 h(-1).&lt;/p&gt;

Our catalyst possessed Bronsted acidity (3 mmol/g) with an excellent stability up to 220 degrees C. XPS, FT-IR and Pyridine-IR along with microanalysis studies confirmed the presence of terminal -SO3H functional groups responsible for Bronsted acidity in the catalyst. The catalyst was found to efficiently catalyze the alcoholysis of furfuryl alcohol to give alkyl levulinates under mild reaction conditions. The complete conversion of furfuryl alcohol with 96 % and 97 % selectivities to ethyl and butyl levulinates could be achieved using ethanol and butanol, respectively. Detailed study on effect of various reaction parameters like catalyst loading, reaction time and reaction temperature on conversion and product distribution was also carried out for the ethanolysis of furfuryl alcohol to ethyl levulinate. The catalyst could be easily recovered and recycled for five times successfully, with no loss in its original activity.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.109</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kunde, Pushkar D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramkumar, Sudha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamble, Sanjay P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RaviKumar, Ameeta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulkarni, Bhaskar D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, V.

The results show that the present QSAR approach is competitive to existing QSAR models. In order to demonstrate the use of this algorithm, we present results of screening naturally occurring molecules with unknown bioactivities.

	Hierarchical TS-1 materials were synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis and a post modification technique through desilication. They were evaluated for hydroxylation of anisole to produce industrially important chemicals, o-methoxyphenol (OMP) and p-methoxyphenol (PMP). The detailed characterization of the prepared catalysts, such as morphology, structure, nature of Ti and surface area were obtained by SEM, HR-TEM, XRD, UV-VIS spectroscopy and the BET technique. The effects of various operational parameters such as substrate/H2O2 molar ratio, reaction temperature, catalyst concentration and solvent effect on the hydroxylation of anisole have been studied in detail. The microporous TS-1 catalyst showed 32% anisole conversion with 34% selectivity to PMP, while the micro/mesoporous DTS-1 catalyst showed enhanced activity for anisole hydroxylation, i.e. 54% conversion with 55% selectivity towards PMP. The increased framework Ti and improved accessibility of the active sites located in the channels of DTS-1, which permit the mass transfer of reactants, transition states and products from the mesopores of DTS-1, were responsible for the enhanced catalytic activity and selectivity towards p-methoxyphenol.&lt;/p&gt;

The wastewater-based epidemiological paradigm would cover the clinically escaped asymptomatic individuals owing to the faecal shedding of the virus. We hypothesised using wastewater as a valuable resource for analysing SARS-CoV-2 mutations circulating in the wastewater of Pune region (Maharashtra; India), one of the most affected during the covid-19 pandemic. We conducted study in open wastewater drains from December 2020- March 2021 to assess the presence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid and further detect mutations using ARTIC protocol of MinION sequencing. The analysis revealed 108 mutations across six samples categorised into 39 types of mutations. We report the occurrence of mutations associated with Delta variant lineage in March-2021 samples, simultaneously also reported as a Variant of Concern (VoC) responsible for the rapid increase in infections. The study also revealed four mutations; S:N801, S:C480R, NSP14:C279F and NSP3:L550del not currently reported from wastewater or clinical data in India but reported worldwide. Further, a novel mutation NSP13:G206F mapping to NSP13 region was observed from wastewater. Notably, S:P1140del mutation was detected in December 2020 samples while it was reported in February 2021 from clinical data, indicating the instrumentality of wastewater data in early detection. This is the first study in India to demonstrate utility of sequencing in wastewater based epidemiology to identify mutations associated with SARS-CoV-2 virus fragments from wastewater as an early warning indicator system.

	Catalytic synergism was observed for a bimetallic Pd-Ir catalyst supported on activated carbon for chemoselective hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymetahyl furfural (5-HMF) to 2, 5-(bishydroxymethyl) furan (BHMF) with complete conversion and 97 % selectivity under very mild reaction conditions. The structural characterization like XRD, N-2 sorption, FE-SEM and TEM suggested formation of fine nanoparticles (1.95-3.08 nm) having very higher surface area, uniform distribution and mesoporous nature of the material. XPS spectra and Pyridine-IR spectroscopy revealed formation of Pd-PdO and Ir/IrO2/IrO3 interface on the catalytic surface along with strong Bronsted acidic sites which were responsible for high efficiency of catalyst at 80 degrees C, 100 psig H-2 pressure at 5-HMF/Catalyst=20 and within 2.5 h of reaction time. A plausible reaction mechanism is also elucidated based on structure activity correlation.&lt;/p&gt;

	The 4-chloro-2-amino phenol (4C2AP) bearing wastewater is produced while manufacturing dyes and pharma-ceutical ingredients. Ni-and Cu-based cost-effective catalysts were developed, typically characterized, and subjected to hydrodechlori-nation (HDC) of 4C2AP. The role of reducing agents, concentration, pH of wastewater, presence of salt, reaction temperature, catalyst reuse, and the kinetics was investigated. A selective makeover of 2-amino phenol (2AP) was analyzed by HPLC, LCMS, and NMR. A complete HDC of 4C2AP with remarkable selectivity (98%) toward 2AP was achieved using a Ni0 catalyst and NaBH4 at room temperature. It is observed that the alkaline condition, the presence of salt, and a high reaction temperature favor the HDC process. A maximum of 1 g L-1 of the Ni0 loading is found to be sufficient to dechlorinate the pollutant. It can be concluded that the catalytic HDC is a technically viable and inexpensive process for the conversion of 4C2AP into a valuable product, 2AP.&lt;/p&gt;

Under optimized reaction conditions, SO3H-INA@SiO2 was able to convert, 2-methylfuran completely into condensation products such as 5,5-bis(5-methylfuran-2-yl)pentan-2-one (1) and 2,4,4-tris(5-methylfuran-2-yl)pentan-1-ol (2) with 19% and 67% yields, respectively. The heterogeneous SO3H-INA@SiO2 catalyst was successfully recycled up to six consecutive runs without loss of its activity. The SO3H-INA@SiO2 catalyst offered superior activity as compared to the commercially available -SO3H functionalized resins. Superior activity of the prepared catalyst could be attributed for its higher acidity, smaller particle size and high surface area. Structure of the prepared catalyst was confirmed by FTIR and solid state NMR. Total acidity of the prepared catalyst was determined by acid-base titration.&lt;/p&gt;

	Bisphenol A (BPA) is a versatile chemical compound that is essential for producing durable polycarbonate plastics and strong epoxy resins, which are integral to numerous everyday products. In the present study, BPA was prepared using phenol and acetone using a highly active and reusable ion-exchange resin (IER) Lewatit K1131S as the catalyst. Under optimized conditions, an acetone conversion of 84% and a BPA selectivity of 94% were achieved. The produced BPA was further purified, resulting in a 96% isolated yield with 99.5% purity. The reusability of Lewatit K1131S has been studied, and it was found that it can be reused multiple times without affecting the selectivity for BPA. The kinetics of the reaction was studied using the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model; it was found that the reaction follows pseudo-first-order kinetics, and the apparent activation energy was determined to be 12.7 kJ/mol. A continuous pilot scale process for the production of BPA using a fixed-bed reactor (packed with ion-exchange resin) has been developed. Pilot plant trials were conducted at different flow rates such as 200, 300, and 500 g/h, and a downstream processing methodology using an agitated thin film evaporator (ATFE) was employed for the BPA purification. This resulted in high throughput, producing 99.2% isolated BPA yield with 99.5% HPLC purity. Additionally, the robustness and viability of the catalyst were assessed at a flow rate of 200 g/h, producing 22.5 kg of BPA per kg of catalyst, highlighting its cost-effectiveness, stability, and resistance to deactivation, which shows its suitability for industrial-scale applications. The environmental viability of the process was further evaluated by using the E-factor and Process Mass Intensity (PMI) metrics. The estimated E-factor was 0.3118, while the corresponding PMI was 1.3935. These lower values indicate reduced waste generation, improved material efficiency, and enhanced sustainability of the process.&lt;/p&gt;

	Bisguaiacol-E (BGE) has emerged as a biobased and sustainable alternative to bisphenol-A (BPA) for the production of materials intended for direct contact with humans and animals, including baby feeding bottles and food packaging. In the present study, BGE was synthesized from bioderived guaiacol and acetaldehyde via acid-catalyzed condensation using a highly efficient and reusable ion-exchange resin, Purolite C124SH. Under optimized conditions, the process achieved 96% guaiacol conversion with 100% selectivity toward BGE. The crude product was purified to obtain BGE in 95% isolated yield and 100% purity. The reusability of Purolite C124SH was evaluated over multiple reaction cycles. After five consecutive reuse cycles, guaiacol conversion and BGE selectivity declined by approximately 25-26% and 20-22%, respectively. However, after regeneration by methanol treatment, the catalyst recovered its activity and maintained a consistent performance over the subsequent three cycles. These results demonstrate the catalyst's regenerability, robustness, and resistance to deactivation, highlighting its potential for cost-effective industrial application. The kinetic study indicates that the condensation of acetaldehyde with guaiacol to form BGE over the Purolite C124SH resin catalyst can be described by a pseudohomogeneous kinetic model. The reaction follows apparent pseudo-first-order behavior, with an activation energy of 43.5 kJ mol-1, suggesting a minimal contribution from external mass-transfer limitations under the investigated conditions. Moreover, at the optimized reaction conditions, the estimated space-time yield (STY) was 0.42 kg L-1 h-1, corresponding to an apparent reaction rate constant of 0.5 h-1. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties of the synthesized BGE were compared with those of reported BGF (Bisguaiacol-F) and BPA, showing strong alignment and confirming its applicability as a safer substitute. The environmental performance of the process was assessed using green chemistry metrics. The calculated E-factor (0.2) and Process Mass Intensity (PMI - 1.27) indicate low waste generation, high material efficiency, and improved sustainability. Overall, the developed methodology offers a clean, efficient, and scalable route for producing BGE as a viable biobased replacement for BPA.&lt;/p&gt;
