Pure g-C3N4 suffers from insufficient sunlight absorption, low surface area and the fast recombination of photo-induced electron-hole pairs, resulting in low photocatalytic activity. Utilizing the thermal polymerization process, metal-doped g-C3N4 has been formed and the formed catalysts employed for the degradation of methyl orange under visible light. The produced catalysts have been examined using a variety of characterisation techniques and by experimental means. The lowering of band gap and improved photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared catalyst is resulted by metal doping.","PeriodicalId":13388,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Chemical Technology","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135446773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cylinder head and piston of the engine are coated with a 200-micron layer of lanthanum aluminate. The results indicate promising outcomes with biodiesel in the LHR engine, showing improved thermal efficiency and reduced specific fuel consumption compared to conventional diesel engines. Tests have been conducted on B20, B20+25 ppm of MgO, and B20+50 ppm of MgO biodiesel blends with coated and untreated components. The coated piston with B20+50 ppm of MgO (LHR) demonstrate a 1.73% increase in brake thermal efficiency and a 7.2% decrease in specific fuel consumption compared to an untreated piston. Furthermore, the B20+50 ppm of MgO (LHR) in B20 experience a 5.9% reduction in-cylinder pressure and a 6.9% decrease in heat release rate. Additionally, the coated engine exhibit lower CO, HC, and smoke emissions from the biodiesel blends than the conventional engine.","PeriodicalId":13388,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Chemical Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135661273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plant-derived mucilage has a wide range of applications, such as binding agent, stabilizer, emulsifying agent, thickening agent, and gelling agent. This study investigated the potential of underutilized cereals’ mucilage and further explored their application by synthesizing mucilage-based hydrogels. For this purpose, we have explored four new sources of mucilage, namely adzuki beans (A b ), amaranth (A m ), proso millet (P r ), and little millet (L m ). The underutilized cereals’ mucilage application has been examined by developing hydrogels through the free radical co-polymerization technique. Mucilages are confirmed to be a natural thickening and a substitute for synthetic polymers after being evaluated physically and phytochemically. Structural analysis of mucilages and their hydrogels (A b H, A m H, P r H & L m H) were characterized by using FTIR-ATR, XRD, 1 H & 13 C NMR techniques. It confirms that all four mucilages are rich in polysaccharide residues and grafting of sodium acrylate has been successfully done on mucilages. Thermal gravimetric analyses represent the better thermal stability of the synthesized hydrogels than their respective mucilages. SEM confirms the porous structure of the mucilages and their hydrogels. All of these studies demonstrated that the underutilized mucilage from cereals might be a good feedstock for a hydrogel-forming agent, which can be explored in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.","PeriodicalId":13388,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Chemical Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70702280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
