The maximum COD removal of 97.9% occurred with complete degradation of phenol in 110 hours of operation and the biofilm and biomass characteristics of Pseudomonas fluorescence with respect to its suspended and attached biomass concentration, biofilm thickness and bioparticle density were also studied. The culture followed substrate inhibition kinetics. Biodegradation data was correlated with kinetic models including Monod, Yano& Koga, Teissier, Aiba et al, Webb and Haldane model. Experimentally obtained data best fitted with the Haldane model and the kinetic parameters were derived by non linear regression with a correlation factor (R2) of 0.9938. The values of Haldane constants rsmax, Ks and Ki were 0.541 h-1, 0.9211 mg/l and 3.57 mg/l respectively. The bio-kinetic constants estimated using these models showed good potential of using Pseudomonas fluorescence culture in phenol degradation in inverse fluidized bed biofilm reactor.","PeriodicalId":13706,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Green technology and environmental Conservation (GTEC-2011)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86537712","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}

Improper management of the municipal solid waste (MSW) not only causes environmental pollution but also creates hazards to the inhabitants and again affects the quality of life. Municipal bodies are the responsible authority for the management activities of the urban solid waste. The study was carried out within the Thoubal Municipality areas of Thoubal District situated between 24°36′44.184″ N to 24°41′13.031″ N latitude and 93°57′29.088″E to 94°1′30.551″E longitude. The objective of the study was to determine the characterization of the waste and the current system of management activities. The characterization showed that organic composition of the waste has highest percentage of 60.08 % which is followed by the miscellaneous component with a percentage of 15.69 %. Plastic and paper was the next highest composition with 11.1 % and 6.06 % respectively and the least was leather (0.01 %). This paper highlights an overview of the current municipal solid waste management (MSWM) system of Thoubal Municipality. The study concludes with a few suggestions, which may be beneficial to the authorities to work towards further improvement of the current management systems.","PeriodicalId":13706,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Green technology and environmental Conservation (GTEC-2011)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76466425","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}

Production of nanoparticles can be achieved through different methods. In this paper stable silver nanoparticles have been synthesized by using Cynodon dactylon (Arugampul) plant extract as both the reducing and stabilizing agents. The morphology and size distribution of prepared silver nanoparticles varied with the concentration of the Cynodon dactylon extract used. The UV-Vis spectrum of silver nanoparticle in aqueous solution shows an absorbance peak around 420 nm due to Surface plasmon resonance. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the face-centered cubic (fcc) geometry of silver nanoparticles. The formation and stabilization of the nanoparticle is confirmed by HRTEM analysis. EDAX analysis was used to identify the presence of silver. Thermo gravimetric Analysis (TGA) measures the weight loss of silver nanoparticles as a function of temperature under a controlled atmosphere. The Silver nanoparticles displayed efficient antimicrobial activity towards most of the tested fungal and bacterial cultures. The cytotoxicity of the prepared silver nanoparticles was investigated using a cancer cell line.","PeriodicalId":13706,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Green technology and environmental Conservation (GTEC-2011)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90655493","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}

Natural fibers have recently become attractive to automotive industry as an alternative reinforcement for glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics. The best way to increase the fuel efficiency with out sacrificing safety is to employ fiber reinforced composite materials in the body of the cars so that weight reduction can be achieved. Designing the structures with the focus on improvement aspects is very important in the automotive industry. The goals are to increase the performance of the beams and also to find the solution to reduce the cost of beams hence able to reduce the production cost. The latest thermo plastic developments have resulted in higher material properties and more possibilities in the design of bumper beams. However the use of steel, Aluminum, Glass mat thermoplastics (GMT), sheet metal components (SMC) Bumpers becomes at higher cost than long fiber reinforced thermoplastics. This research is focused on development partially eco- friendly hybrid long fiber reinforced thermo plastics with natural kenaf fiber to enhance the desired mechanical properties for car bumper beams as automotive structural components.","PeriodicalId":13706,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Green technology and environmental Conservation (GTEC-2011)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90191337","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}

Antibiotic resistant pathogens pose an enormous threat to the treatment of wide range of serious infections. To overcome this emergence, a periodic replacement of the new and existing antibiotic is necessary, simultaneously doses also increasing day by day for the patients, which is carcinogen to the body. The pure form and amount of antibiotics gets saturated because of genetic modified species. The environment plays an important role in the activities of living beings including microorganisms. Our present study compares the bioactive compounds extracted from Actinomycetes from various polluted and non polluted area. Attempts were made to optimize the culture conditions for the production of antimicrobial metabolite by this strain. Antimicrobial metabolite production was started after twenty days of incubation. The extract of metabolite was obtained by solvent extraction method using ethylacetate and chloroform as solvent. The ethyl acetate and chloroform extract from the non polluted area exhibited reasonable antibacterial activities against a series of gram positive and gram negative bacteria where as for the polluted area the activity was comparatively less. In the disc diffusion method the crude ethylacetate and chloroform extract from the non polluted area showed a minimum of 9 mm inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus and maximum of 13 mm of inhibition against Proteus vulgaris. The crude pigment was partially purified using Thin Layer Chromatography with the solvent system Chloroform: Methanol (30∶70) and the organism collected from non polluted area has pure compounds than the polluted area. Actinomycetes form the non polluted area may offer the potential to understand and develop treatment for disease based on the normal physiological role of their secondary metabolites.","PeriodicalId":13706,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Green technology and environmental Conservation (GTEC-2011)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81887059","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}
