Current efforts are focused on developing cost-effective and eco-friendly alternatives for disposal of waste materials. Agricultural wastes might be utilized as biochar and activated carbon (AC) precursors due to their higher carbon contents. In the present study, the activated carbon derived from corn cob biomass has been prepared successfully by the pyrolysis method at different temperatures i.e. 600 & 800 °C using potassium hydroxide activation. The synthesized materials (AC) were characterized using different techniques like X-ray diffraction, UV-Visible Spectroscopy, FTIR and N2 adsorption/desorption isotherm. The FTIR study identified the functional groups and XRD analysis revealed the structure of the prepared material. The FE-SEM images showed that activation of biochar resulted into formation of porous activated carbon with various shapes and sizes of pores. The high surface area 575 m2/g and pore volume 0.291 cm3/g of AC at 800 °C temperature were observed with BET analysis. The optical band gap determined using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy indicates that the absorption edge lies in the ultra-violet region of the optical spectra. The findings of the present study highlight the potential of utilizing agro-wastes as effective precursors for producing activated carbon with minimal expenses. This carbon variant shows promise in various applications such as water purification, metal recovery, energy devices, etc.","PeriodicalId":13509,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Physics","volume":"97 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":"136305666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, UV and FTIR. The XRD pattern of α-Fe2O3/ZnO nanocomposite revealed two distinct phases corresponding to α-Fe2O3 and ZnO in the synthesized nanocomposite. The characteristic absorbance peaks of α-Fe2O3/ZnO nanocomposite were observed in UV visible spectra with a bandgap of 2.50 eV. The photocatalytic properties of the as-synthesized nanocomposite have been evaluated by the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under UV irradiation. Compared to the pure metal oxides (α-Fe2O3 and ZnO), the enhanced photodegradation efficiency of nanocomposite for MB dye was observed to be 78% in 105 minutes. This improved photocatalytic activity can be ascribed to the efficient charge transfer in the corresponding nanocomposite, which in turn can be attributed to the reduced recombination probability of photo-induced carriers. The as-synthesized nanocomposite could be appropriate for dye wastewater treatment.","PeriodicalId":13509,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Physics","volume":"51 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":"135494680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Natural elements like uranium and its by-products can be reason of health problems if they are present in groundwater at excessive amount. Uranium is very harmful because it is very toxic. This study gives the information about the uranium concentration in 40 groundwater samples collected from different water sources like hand pump and tube wells of different depths from numerous locations of Jhajjar district of Haryana, India. Uranium concentration was measured using the LED fluorimetry technique. The observed value of uranium concentration ranged from 5 μgL-1 to 91 μgL-1 with mean value of 28.49 μgL-1. The mean value of uranium concentration is below the safe limit suggested by World Health Organisation (WHO) and Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), India. The uranium concentration in some region is high because of nearby industries, increasing uses of fertilizer for agriculture and the local subsurface geology of the region. The calculated risk factors for lifelong cancer morbidity and mortality are not significant because they are much lower than the permitted hazard limits. The chemical toxicity of uranium is measured in form of LADD (Lifetime Average Daily Dose) value was ranging from 0.39 to 6.67 μg kgˉ¹ dayˉ¹ with mean value of 2.02 μg kgˉ¹ dayˉ¹g which is more than the WHO recommended daily consumption threshold of LADD of 1.0 μg kgˉ¹ dayˉ¹. Values of annual effective dose is varying from 0.89-15.16 μSv/Y with mean value is 4.74 μSv/Y, which is below the safe limit of 100 μSv/y (WHO).","PeriodicalId":13509,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Physics","volume":"129 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":"136305225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Age-dependent annual effective dose, radiological, and chemical toxicity risks are calculated to assess health risks associated with the groundwater for the people living in the nearby area. Uranium concentrations of different samples vary from 4.79–266.28 µg/L with an average value of 74.36 µg/L Overall 69% and 43% of samples exhibit uranium concentrations greater than recommended limits of WHO and AERB, respectively. Excess cancer risk values lie in the range from 1.36 × 10-5-7.54 × 10-4and 2.10 × 10-5-1.17 × 10-3 with mean values of 2.11 × 10-4 and 3.26 × 10-4 for mortality and morbidity, respectively. LADD value lies in the range of 0.35 µg/kg/day to 19.51 µg/kg/day with a mean value of 5.44 µg/kg/day. The hazard quotient value for 43.4% and 84.7% of samples is greater than unity according to AERB and WHO standards, respectively. The uranium retention and effective radiological dose to various body organs are estimated using biokinetic modelling. Physico-chemical parameters and their correlation with uranium concentration are also evaluated. A positive correlation is found between TDS and uranium concentration.","PeriodicalId":13509,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Physics","volume":"112 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":"135494878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chosen reactions have comparable excitation energy range. The measured neutron multiplicities are found to be increasing with the excitation energy of the compound nuclei for all the studied reactions except for 19F + 184W. The calculated values of pre-scission neutron multiplicities are found to be significantly underestimated when compared to the experimental values for overlapping excitation energy range for both mass regions and found to be further underestimated in the heavier mass region (ACN ~ 250) as compared to the relatively lighter mass region (ACN ~ 200). The dissipation strength required to reproduce experimental values is found to increase with an increase in excitation energy of the compound nucleus in both the mass regions. Dissipation strength was found to be higher when the effects of shell correction in level density and CELD were included as compared to the dissipation obtained without incorporating these effects.","PeriodicalId":13509,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Physics","volume":"39 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":"136304773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
