Moench] on suitable heat and acid treatment. The physico-chemical and morphological characteristics of processed carbon of JS origin were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer, Emmett and Teller surface area, and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry analyses. The batch studies revealed optimum values of adsorption parameters such as pH, adsorbent dosage, agitation speed, grain size, temperature, and contact time as 7, 1.5 g l(-1), 200 rpm, finer than 75 A mu m, 30 A degrees C, and 7 h, respectively. The adsorption isotherm data were best described by Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 176.05 mg MB g(-1) JS activated carbon at 30 A degrees C, which is higher than that available with adsorbents used by past researchers. In terms of cost-effectiveness, JS carbon shows its superiority over commercially available carbon.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</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%">1.934</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%">Shirsath, S.

The effect of operating parameters such as type of solvent, extraction time, extraction temperature, solid to solvent ratio, particle size and ultrasonic power on the extraction yield have been investigated in details for the approach UAE. The maximum extraction yield as 72% was obtained in 1 h under optimized conditions of 35 degrees C temperature, solid to solvent ratio of 1:25, particle size of 0.09 mm, ultrasonic power of 250 W and ultrasound frequency of 22 kHz with ethanol as the solvent. The obtained yield was significantly higher as compared to the batch extraction where only about 62% yield was achieved in 8 h of treatment. Peleg's model was used to describe the kinetics of UAE and the model showed a good agreement with the experimental results. Overall, ultrasound has been established to be a green process for extraction of curcumin with benefits of reduction in time as compared to batch extraction and the operating temperature as compared to Soxhlet extraction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;4.556&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">437-445</style></section></record></records></xml>
