The chemical composition of the essential oils of Skimmia lauriola (leaves) growing in Northern Garhwal, Himalaya has been studied. The wildly growing plants were collected from Dhanolti region of Tehri Garhwal. The essential oil was extracted using hydro distillation techniques and analysed using GC/MS. Thirty seven components were identified, accounting for 86.33% of the total oil. The oil is mainly composed of linalool acetate (26.40 %), L-linalool (14.18 %), (beta)-phellendrene (9.03 %), prejeijerene (7.06 %), (alpha)-terpineol (6.25%), geranyl acetate (3.89 %) and myrcene (2.18 %). Antibacterial activity of the essential oil was evaluated. Pseudomonas aurens had the most activity, with an 8 mm zone of inhibition, followed by Escherichia coli with a 5 mm zone of inhibition, while Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureginosa were completely unaffected.","PeriodicalId":9714,"journal":{"name":"Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82397762","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}

Increasing concentrations of these metals into the ecosystem constitute a severe health hazard due to their toxicity, accumulation and bio- magnification. Lead contamination of drinking water is a great threat via lead pipes, plating units etc. Pistachio vera shell (PVS) is a hard layer surrounding the nut kernels. The current work evaluates the feasibility of powdered Pistachio vera shell (PVSP) - a bio waste in sequestering Pb(II) ions after treating with 0.1N HCl / NaOH to enhance its sorption efficacy (TPVSP). SEM, FTIR and microscopic analyses are recorded for material characterization. The competence of the sorbent material is experimentally verified through Batch mode under various operating factors viz., particle size and dosage of TPVSP, agitation time interval between TPVSP and Pb(II) ions, initial concentrations of Pb(II) ions, pH of the adsorption medium, effects of cations, anions, co-ions and influence of temperatures on Pb(II) – TPVSP system. The residual concentrations of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions are analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (SHIMADZU-AA-6200). Langmuir and Freundlich models are applied to describe the adsorption capacity. Column studies are conducted to ensure the quantitative estimation of TPVSP, wherein 99% of Pb(II) is removed by 40 mg TPVSP at a flow rate of 100 ml/10 mins.","PeriodicalId":9714,"journal":{"name":"Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86813117","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 whole plant Borreria hispida (Linn) dry powder was extracted with various solvents (PE, EA and methanol) through Soxhlet extracter and crude various extract utilized for hypolipidemic activities. The acute toxicity study was found that all the extracts are safe up to 2000mg/kg, so one tenth of this dose was consider as evaluation dose. Different extracts (Petroleum ether, Ethyl acetate and Methanol) of Borreria hispida (Linn) were administered in dose of 200mg/kg/day to rats fed with high fat diet to assess its possible lipid-lowering potential A total number of 36 animals were divided into 6 groups of six each. Group I normal, Group II High Fat Diet, Group III- High fat diet plus Pet.ether extract (200mg/kg b.wt), Group IV High fat diet plus Ethyl acetate extract (200 mg/kg b.wt), Group V High fat diet plus Methanol extract (200 mg/kg b.wt), Group VI High fat diet plus standard drug atorvastatin (1.2 mg/kg b.wt). There was a noticed increase in the body weight in HFD fed group (p<0.001), which was reduced by the administration of methanolic extract of Borreria hispida (200 mg/kg). The elevated levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, LDL-C and VLDL-C were observed in rats fed with high fat diet (group II). After treatment of methanolic extract of Borreria hispida (200mg/kg/day) showed a significant (p<0.001) decrement in body weight, plasma and tissue total cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, plasma LDL-C and VLDL-C along with an increase in plasma HDL-C when compared to HFD rats (group II). The similar result was not found in other two extract treatment groups. The methanolic extract of Borreria hispida could protect against atherosclerosis and decrease the atherogenic index than that of other extract treatment groups.This finding provides some biochemical basis for the use of methanolic extract of whole plant of Borreria hispida could protect against atherosclerosis and decrease the atherogenic index, thereby supporting the local use of Borreria hispida in the management of atherosclerosis.","PeriodicalId":9714,"journal":{"name":"Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84032009","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}

Based on this need for developing zero cost sorbent, the present study aims at investigating the sorption capacity of Goat Hooves, a no cost material, in the process of removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous media. Goat hooves are subjected Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy / Scanning Electron Microscopy analyses, post proper treatment (TGH), to identify the functional groups and describe its surface morphology respectively. Batch equilibration experiments are conducted to verify the impact of varied operating parameters viz., particle size, dosage, initial concentration, contact time and pH. The obtained data are modelled using Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms. Langmuir plot exhibited better linearity amongst other derived models indicating of monolayer adsorption to be followed by Pb(II) – TGH and Cd(II)- TGH. Further, Statistical tool analyses using SPSS 20 software, recorded a significant correlation value when applied to the optimized conditions of the batch studies.","PeriodicalId":9714,"journal":{"name":"Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78109049","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 spectral and surface character of the bead was investigated. The process was optimized for variables (pH, contact time, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, temperature), employing response surface methodology following full factorial and central composite design. The maximum adsorption of 97% was observed at an optimum condition of pH 3.0, dose of 2.0 gdm-3 and shaking time of 45 mins corresponding to the dye concentration of 100 mgdm-3 at 303 K. The influence of the significant variables was correlated with the extent of dye adsorption in a second order polynomial equation. The mutual interactions of the significant variables were presented by 3D response surface and 2D contour plots in the design space. The adsorption was better described by Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second order kinetics. The process was spontaneous (-(Delta)G°, 48.19 kJmol-1), feasible ((Delta)S°, 0.284 Jmol-1K-1) and endothermic ((Delta)H°, 71.62 kJmol-1).
