The hydroxyl groups of PVA/S react with the crosslinker forming a cross-linked network. The modified blend is formulated with polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) binder, plasticiser and preservatives. Physical properties like viscosity and stability of adhesives have been evaluated in addition to tensile strength on various wooden substrates. Mechanical properties studied using pencil hardness test and ultimate stress of adhesive films showed the enhancements in the mechanical strength of films with the crosslinker. Thermo-mechanical properties studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed enhancement in storage modulus with an increase in glass transition temperature. The modified adhesive showed better cohesion, enhanced tensile strength with excellent stability. In conclusion, the modified adhesive showed better physical, mechanical, thermal and adhesive properties. Hence, this study can be potential in the development of starch incorporated wood adhesives.

The work involves (i) batch kinetic studies for adsorption of phenols viz. phenol, catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, 2-aminophenol and 3-aminophenol, on fly ash; (ii) the effect of initial solute concentration, initial mass of adsorbent, temperature, contact time and pH on removal of phenols from solution; (iii) determination of adsorption isotherm parameters for three isotherm models namely Freundlich, Langmuir and Fritz–Schlunder; and (iv) mathematical model for packed bed adsorption process using fly ash as an adsorbent for industrial-scale capacity (∼10,000 L/day). The results show that bagasse-based fly ash has much more adsorption capacity (∼80% phenol removal) as compared to coal-based fly ash.

By measuring these process data and Ziegler-Nichols type tuning rules, PID controllers can be designed. Due to its simplicity and performances, this earlier relay feedback method becomes one of the standard methods for autotuning of PID controllers. Later the first-order plus time delay (FOPTD) models are used for the relay feedback method with additional process data such as the process steady-state gain, improving autotuning performances. Like other FOPTD model-based methods, this FOPTD model-based relay feedback method is very popular in the field. However, for some high-order processes, the FOPTD model-based method shows oscillatory closed-loop responses that are not acceptable. For such processes, the critically damped second-order plus time delay (C2PTD) identifiable with the same three process information of steady state gain, ultimate gain and ultimate period can be used. Unfortunately, the C2PTD model-based relay feedback method cannot cover the whole range of processes. One solution is the selective use of FOPTD and C2PTD models. For this purpose of selection, a shape factor that uses the process measurement of average residence time is proposed here.

In the present study, the kinetics of autotrophic growth of a power-plant blue–green algae Leptolyngbya subtilis JUCHE1 have been determined along with the assessment of capability of lipid production. The gas phase concentrations of CO2 have been varied in the range of 5–20% (v/v). Illuminated 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks have been used as small scale photobioreactors. The temperature and light intensity have been maintained at 37oC and 2.5 kLux respectively. Substrate inhibition has been observed beyond 15% CO2 concentration in gas phase. Haldane model explains the growth kinetics. The values of growth kinetic parameters namely μmax, Ks, KI have been determined to be 0.6064d−1, 0.0165 and 1.7429 g/L, respectively. The algal oil has been extracted using a mixture of chloroform and methanol 2:1(v/v) and the dry algal biomass has been pyrolysed in an isothermal semi-batch reactor in the temperature range of 300oC–700°C. The lipid content varies in the range of 4.0–12.5% (wt./wt.) and is strongly influenced by the concentration of CO2 and the culture period. The yield of bio-char increases from 29 to 44% with the decrease of pyrolysis temperature from 700°C to 300°C.

Excess biomass accumulation on the support leads to an increase in biofilm thickness with time.

A mathematical model has been developed to predict the loss of contact area and decrease in the porosity of bed with operation time.

The anaerobic condition was maintained for the fermentation process by utilising Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Bioethanol production was maximum from onion peels 0.95, and 0.66 g/g was achieved by utilising tea waste. The other environmental concern today is to evolve an effectual treatment methodology for the reuse of the lignocellulosic substrate.
