An enhanced extraction procedure was developed for obtaining higher lutein concentration. The extraction process is further optimised using the central composite method, with the aid of design software tools. Methanol was used as the extracting solvent in a fixed ratio with dry spirulina powder. Saponification and hydrolysis using KOH, water and ethyl acetate/dichloromethane were done for isolating lutein and zeaxanthin from its ester. Ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry was used for analysing the absorbance of the lutein sample at a wavelength of 445 nm. Using the Response Surface Methodology, trials of various combinations are run for finding optimum conditions of saponification. The major variables were reaction time, reaction temperature and concentration of KOH. Temperature range of 45–75°C, the reaction time of 45–70 min and KOH concentrations ranging from 2% to 10% are observed as the optimum range. The sample is filtered using a PVDF membrane and stored in acetone or isopropyl alcohol.

Based on simple mass and heat balance analysis, SMWI having primary and secondary chambers with a volume of 1 and 0.754 m3 is designed. The proposed SMWI is evaluated for its environmental impact by performing a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and compared with an SMWI equipped with an Electric Heater (SMWI–EH). The total primary energy required for the construction of SMWI is 48285.56 MJ. It is found that the damage caused by the operation of PRBLPG in SMWI is lesser when compared to that of an Electric Heater (EH). In SMWI–PRB, LPG consumption contributed to about 17488.27 kg CO2−eq in the global warming category, whereas in the case of SMWI–EH, electricity consumption contributed to about 243766.11 kg CO2−eq. The operation of SMWI–PRB showed a reduction of about 54% in the resource utilisation category in comparison with SMWI–EH. The results obtained from the LCA study indicated that PRBLPG is a better option as an auxiliary heating device in SMWI than EH due to its environmental superiority.

It’s a less dense floating solid mass that primarily consists of triglycerides and fatty acids, which are important constituents for fuel. The present study aims to produce biodiesel using dairy waste scum by a transesterification process using NaOH/KOH catalysts. The present work identifies the better catalyst between two alkaline catalysts NaOH and KOH, using low-cost methodologies. The preliminary confirmation characteristics, such as density, calorific value, Kinematic Viscosity, Specific Gravity, Flash Point, and Fire Point will support the formation of synthesised biodiesel via the proposed methodology. The experimental results lead to a yield of 89.02% of biodiesel using NaOH catalyst with optimised process parameters of the temperature of 55°C, the reaction time of 120 min, and catalyst loading of 1 wt./wt.%. Finally, biodiesel was tested for emission and combustion characteristics in a CI engine. To optimise the process parameters, the response surface methodology (RSM) along with Bootstrap estimation has been performed using MINITAB19. Furthermore, the experimental and predicted yields obtained from ANOVA were reported.","PeriodicalId":13430,"journal":{"name":"Indian Chemical Engineer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42332682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The magnetized nanoparticles in CPCM promoted the thermal energy storage capacity as well as photothermal conversion efficiency of the composite by the unidirectional heat transfer flow. For these composite PCM, the thermal conductivity is found as excellent and more than that of pure n-octadecane (0.153 W/mK) because of the presence of highly conductive magnetized GO. The role of magnetized Ni-GO nanoparticles in the structure and properties of the microencapsulated PCM is characterized by the SEM, optical microscopy, FTIR, XRD, DSC, thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis. SEM and optical microscopy reveal that the microencapsulated PCM has uniform spherical morphology. TGA and DTA results show the CPCM is stable up to a temperature of 350 °C. XRD analysis indicates highly ferromagnetic material is well composed with GO to enhance the directional heat flow. DSC analysis shows that the composite is stable up to 100 thermal cycling processes. The enhanced heat transfer flow and better leakage-preventing performance might be highly chosen for STES storage applications of the CPCM as well as heat sink integrated passive cooling.

The typical elementary reaction involved in benzene alkylation consists of isomerisation of π-bond of 1-octene and attachment of octyl ion with benzene. Here, we have followed transition state theory and statistical thermodynamics to express the rate expression for the disappearance of 1-octene and formation of 1-octene and 2-phenyloctane isomers. In transition state theory, we have incorporated a single-event concept to account for a change in the relative position of the atom during the chemical reaction. Subsequently, we also estimate activation energies involved in the kinetic model using the regression method and experimental data. For this, a particle swarm optimisation (PSO) followed by Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm, called hybrid PSO, is adopted to measure the activation energies. The statistical methods involved in this investigation include analysis of variance, F-test and parity diagram and comparison between the proposed kinetic model and experimental data confirm the kinetic model reliability and optimal estimate of activation energies.

However, its applications in the packaging sector are limited due to its brittleness and high-water solubility. To enhance the functional characteristics of the CS- Gly films in packaging applications, it was blended with neem gum at the concentrations of 0.3 and 0.9% (w/w). The tensile strength, elongation percentage, water sorption and biodegradability efficacy of the blended cornstarch films (CS-Gly-NG) were analysed. The tensile strength of the blended film improved by 1.1-fold compared with CS-Gly (24.49 ± 0.72 MPa) when the natural gum additive was used at 0.30% (w/w). However, once the natural gum content was raised to 0.9% (w/w), the TS of the film decreased to 21.28 ± 1.75 MPa, whereas the resistance to water solubility improved to a greater extent. Moreover, the biodegradability test showed that the blended films (64-69 wt %) disintegrated more rapidly than the CS-Gly film (17.3%) in a setting akin to the natural environment. Therefore, this blended film (CS-Gly-NG) can be used as an alternative to the commercially available non-biodegradable polyethene films and will have a positive impact on the environment.
