PREFACE
I welcome all the participants in Recent Advances in Chemical Engineering (RACE) -2012 a one day Seminar. It gives immense pleasure to me to bring in the notice to all that Department of Chemical Technology has been organizing two to three conferences every year in the emerging areas of research to update the teaching and research community with the latest developments. There are four conferences/ seminars and three workshops scheduled for this academic year in the areas of Nano Technology, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Technology, Green Chemistry, Food and Oil Technology. This (RACE-12) is the second seminar in the series of Recent Advances in Chemical Engineering (RACE) organised by the Department. Unlike other branches of studies chemical engineering has very vast scope starting from heat transfer to mass transfer to process development to transport phenomenon to chemical thermodynamics to chemical reaction engineering (can be based on biochemical engineering, polymer reaction engineering, reaction engineering of the inorganic materials etc.) to mathematical modelling and simulation to plant design . Since chemical engineering deals with the chemical products development, therefore protection of environment is a very big issue. Hence seminar cant fulfil its purpose without discussing the environmental aspects. The relevance of the event is reflected by the more than 400 entries of participants from every corner of the country. During rheotic sessions of deliberations of experts as well as interactions at a common platform, the budding scientists and technocrats shall certainly get the guidance and directions with the innovative ideas. It is my belief that RACE-2012 will be a grand success event which will fulfil the aspirations of the researchers. I hope all of you will enjoy the stay at North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon. Thanking you Dated 4.2.2012 Prof. Satyendra Mishra Chairman, RACE-2012

STPW (SPENT TEA POWDER WASTE) AS AN ADSORBENT FOR REMOVAL OF NICKEL FROM WASTE WATER
S. L. Pandharipande, Sachin M. Pokale Associate Professor, M Tech (Chem Engg),Nagpur Chem. Engg. Dept., LIT, RTM NU, Nagpur Abstract Adsorption is a separation operation for the removal of a constituent of a gas, vapor or liquid by a surface or interface. There are two types of adsorption phenomena, physical and chemical. Physical adsorption: A readily reversible phenomenon, as the result of intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules of the solid and the substance adsorbed. The solid is highly porous, containing many fine capillaries, the adsorbed the adsorbed substance will penetrate these interstices if it wets the solid. The industrial adsorption operation depends upon this reversibility for recovery of the adsorbent for reuse, for recovery of the adsorbed substance, or for the fractionation of mixtures. Removal of metallic compounds from waste water is a challenging task for chemical engineers. The present work has suggested a novel adsorbent in the form of treated spent tea powder for removal of Ni from waste water and is carried in following parts: Procurement and treatment of used or spent tea powder waste (STPW). Determination experimentally, the equilibrium relationship using spent tea powder waste (STPW) and activated charcoal as adsorbents for varying concentrations of Ni in water solution. The analysis of Ni is done at Govt of India recognized laboratory. The comparison of the adsorption efficiency of activated charcoal with STPW is also carried out.

Professor, Chemical Engg department, BITS, Pilani c Lecturer, Mechanical Engg department, BITS, Pilani (Currently off campus faculty at Hindustan Zinc Limited, Abstract Continuous and increased thrust for improvement in quality and product throughput has made process industries to undergo major transformation in process operation in the recent past. As majority of the process industries now operates at relatively higher operating conditions of process variables there is an increased risk of accidents, or occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals in process plants. Considering a number of such hazardous process industries (such as petrochemical, polymeric materials, chlor-alkali, nitration, fiber, etc.), these days the process industries are one of the most vulnerable to major disasters. Vivid reminders of few disastrous events related to process industries are Union Carbide, Bhopal India; Icmesa Chemical Company, Seveso, Italy.Even, after these disasters and subsequent timely updated legislations in safety management changes thereof, there are reports of continuous accidents and incidents reoccurring in the chemical process industries. Some of the reported accidents of last decade are discussed in the paper. Such incidents reiterate the concern of safety for process workers. From the reports of the accidents, it can be inferred that the root cause of all these events depends on the variety of interrelated factors such as social environment, fault of a person, and unsafe act and conditions. This realization and the increased awareness to prevent or at least reduce the frequency of occurrence of such accidents, major efforts are needed towards raising the level of safety and understanding all the underlying factors that result in an accident, incident and the disaster. It is realized that a number of shortcomings exist in implementing OHSMS.Therefore, an attempt is made to explore the OHSMS practices of Indian industries, identify the loopholes and hindrances for its implementation. Real life examples from Indian process industries have been considered to access the level of OHSMS implementation with respect to Indian context.

Sangeetha Kumar, Lekshmi Ajithkumar*, K.Sathish Kumar Department of Chemical Engineering, SSN college of Engineering, kalavakkam 603 110. Abstract Chitosan nanoparticles have gained more attention for drug delivery because of their better stability, low toxicity, simple method of preparation and providing versatile routes of administration. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the prospective of chitosan nanoparticles as carriers for an anticancer drug, 6-Thioguanine. Chitosan nanoparticles (CT, CTG, CTI, CTGI) were prepared in the presence of gold, iron oxide and gold-iron oxide nanoparticles by Solvent evaporation method. Fourier transform-infrared analysis revealed no possible interactions among the constituents with the chitosan nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopic analysis showed that the particles were nearly spherical in shape with an average size of 100-150 nm. The diameter of gold, iron oxide, gold-iron oxide nanoparticles were determined using TEM techniques and were found to be in order of 5-20 nm. Encapsulation efficiency (%) of thioguanine in chitosan-gold nanoparticles showed considerable increase over thioguanine in chitosan without gold nanoparticles. The rate of controlled release of Thioguanine encapsulated Chitosan with gold, iron oxide and gold-iron oxide nanoparticles was carried out in 0.1M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) and 0.1M HCl solution. The data resulted from experimental studies indicated that the rate of drug release for Thioguanine encapsulated Chitosan with gold and gold-iron oxide nanoparticle was controlled and steady when compared to Thioguanine encapsulated Chitosan with iron oxide nanoparticles. Application of in vitro drug release date to various kinetic equations indicated higuchi matrix model indicating uniform distribution of thioguanine in the nanocapsules.

Abstract: Bulk emulsion explosive is an important rock breaking explosive as it has excellent detonation characteristics and good water resistance. It is safe and can be charged quickly. The matrix of this emulsion is non-explosive in nature. The emulsion explosive compositions contain a water immiscible organic fuel as a continuous phase, an inorganic oxidizer salt solution as a discontinuous phase and an emulsifier. To make it explosive, air bubbles are incorporated in the matrix by addition of different chemical gassing agents like aqueous solution of sodium nitrite and aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. Low matrix temperature does not favour the gas bubbles formation and therefore an accelerator is required to enhance the rate of gassing. Sodium bicarbonate was used as a gassing agent and acetic acid as accelerator. The present study attempts to determine the optimum amount of gassing agent and accelerator to be added to emulsion matrix at low temperatures to achieve the desired rate of gassing. Keywords: Chemical gassing, Temperature, Viscosity, Accelerator, Gassing agent.

Prof. Vandana N. Mahajan, Prof. Ramshwar B.Umbarkar, Prof. Sachin S. Chaudhari Asst. Professor Mechanical Engg.Dept., Govt. College of Engg., Jalgaon
Abstract This paper focuses on a design modification to a number of industrial ducts using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis considering all flow features relating to the duct system efficiency. The main objective of this paper is to provide improved flow conditions into the top of a gas furnace wind box and along the duct with no re-circulation, minimum pressure losses and low turbulence levels. A geometrically 3D CFD model is assembled to capture the complex air pre-rotation before approaching the blower, air circulation in the blower region and airflow in the duct system to a boiler. First the CFD model is validated with experimental data at three fan Variable Inlet Vane (VIV) percentage openings. Then, a parametric study is carried out to remove recirculation regions in the duct. The recommended modifications provided a significant improvement in minimizing recirculation regions in the duct and subsequent testing of modified duct system has validated the approach using CFD analytical tools. CFD analysis helps to optimize the design of a number of industrial ducts. The ducts are used to provide air to a gas boiler in a power station. Usually the ducts are suffering from a low efficiency due to air circulation inside the duct, high turbulence intensity into the top of a gas furnace windbox and pressure differentials at burner injector inlets. In this paper we analysed two duct systems and provided preliminary design concepts for the redesign of the systems based on a detailed flow analysis.

ADAPTING QSAR & KERNEL REGRESSIONTECHNIQUES TO FACILITATE RATIONALISE DRUG DELIVERY

Ms. Shraddha V. Pande, Dr. Dharmendra C. Kothari Department of Chemical Engineering & Technology, College of Engineering & Technology, BABHULGAON (JH.), Akola 444 104, Maharashtra. Email: DCK2009@rediffmail.com Mobile:- 9527802935. Abstract: A DRUG broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function. In pharmacology, a drug is a CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE used in the treatment, cure, prevention or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well being. Drugs are usually distinguished from endogenous Bio-chemicals by being introduced from outside the organism. Drugs both MEDICINAL and RECREATIONL, can be administered in a variety of ways rather than just one. Drug delivery system generally classified into Primary, Secondary and Tertiary categories. Recent studies have led to significant advances in understanding the impact of key drug carrier properties such as, SIZE, SURFACE CHEMISTRY and SHAPE on their performance. The successful drug delivery carries to navigate through multiple physiological hurdles including Reticulo Endothelial System (RES) clearance, target accumulation, intracellular uptake and endosomal escape. Each of these processes may require unique and often conflicting design parameters, thus making it difficult to choose a design that addresses all these known hurdles. Researchers have attempted for many years to develop drugs based on QSAR (Quantative Structure Activity Relationships) and simultaneously based on Kernel Regressions (Algorithms). However, access to computational resources was not available when these efforts began, so attempts consisted primarily of STATISTICAL CORRELATIONS of structural descriptors with biological activities. This presentation will discuss the application of QSAR & KERNAL in drug design. Some examples which will be presented on computer assisted drug and molecular design and some, on computer-based Visualization and Modeling.

CHARACTERIZATION AND MANUFACTURING OF TRICLOPYR BUTOXY ETHYL ESTER

Nitin S.Pagare** Dr Vilas.S.Patil* Yuvraj A.Patil** * Associate Professor, University Department of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon. vilaspatil24@yahoo.co.in ** University Department of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon. Abstract Triclopyr is a selective herbicide used to control woody plants and broadleaf weeds. The herbicide is absorbed by leaves and roots and is moved throughout the plant in both the phloem and xylem. Triclopyr acts as a synthetic auxin, giving a plant an auxin overdose which interferes with growth. Since it has a low Henrys Law Constant, except for spray drift, triclopyr is not expected to be found in air. In soil and water the conversion of TBEE and TEA to triclopyr acid is rapid, thus the fate of triclopyr acid is the focus of most research. TBEE and TEA hydrolyze quickly in natural water, while triclopyr acid has little tendency to hydrolyze at all. It is a conservative method for the registered uses of triclopyr BEE. More realistic methods for this product are under-development. The use of a farm pond to model exposure to species that inhibit fast-flowing streams and the use of triclopyr BEE at rates less than the modeled maximum label rates are also being developed. The method indicated very minimums of the direct acute risks to the endangered and threatened fish for all registered uses of triclopyr BEE.

Abstract Distillation is the primary separation process used in the chemical industry for liquid mixtures separation. Apart from the numerous advantages of the distillation, it has a drawback, namely its significant energy requirement. In order to reduce the energy consumption of these systems energy integration is applied within the distillation columns or with other units of the global process. The specific literature offers a large number of solutions for the energy integration. During the process design it is important to select the best applicable energy integration for the distillation system in the case of given separation task. Apart from the economic criteria, nowadays the environment consciousness and controllability are also important parameters of the process design. The primary motivation of the study is to elaborate a complex process design methodology that evaluates the distillation systems based on exergetic, economic and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission aspects for the separation of azeotropic mixture of isobutyl alcohol and isobutyl acetate using extractive and pressure swing distillation column sequences. The aim of the methodology is to determine how the pressure swing distillation should be applied in process design to obtain information about the accuracy of the design alternatives. The methodology is tested and demonstrated on pressure swing distillation. The studied distillation systems are compared to other extractive distillation and to the nonintegrated conventional arrangement in the case of the separation of ternary mixtures. Applying the proposed methodology reveals that among the investigated distillation schemes the pressure swing distillation proves to be the best applicable since it shows the most favored features in a wide and flexible range. The application of the methodology on the energy integrated distillation proofs the accuracy of the complex evaluation methodology. On the other hand, it highlights and demonstrates that the exergy analysis can predict the results of the economic study and the environmental evaluation to make the decisions, associated with process design, much simpler.

MONITORING OF FOULING OF HEAT EXCHANGER USING SOFTWARE

Ambeprasad .S.Kushwaha1, Mahesh.M.Patil2 , Prof.Ashutosh khanna3 1,3 R.G.P.V PCST BHOPAL, 2GHRCEM PUNE, ambeprasad88@gmail.com, maheshpatil.1646@gmail.com, prof_khanna@rediffmail.com Abstract The Monitor computer program has been specifically designed to analyse fouling trends in heat exchanger networks. It is a vital weapon in the battle to reduce exchanger fouling costs and maximise profitability.It is a rigorous monitoring tool that makes proper and timely analysis of heat exchanger network economics quick and easy. It also uses rigorous thermodynamic methods to simulate fluid behavior. Flash calculations predict the separation of a two-phase fluid into liquid and vapour and include handling of water as a separate phase. It is also used for the fouling calculations; Fouling Calculations are the main simulation calculations in the Monitor computer program. On a case-by-case basis, the program determines the heat, material and pressure balances over all the units in the network and the fouling coefficient for each exchanger. If you later want to investigate the effect of different fouling factors on the furnace inlet temperature, use the Specify Fouling calculation. This calculation allows you to modify fouling factors for any or all exchangers and determine exchanger exit temperatures. The results are shown in the specify fouling report which shows the calculation history, exchanger exit temperatures and the furnace inlet temperatures. The software also used for the generation of the PFD, as with any simulation program, all Monitor operations work from a drawing of the Process Flow Diagram which displays the units in the Network and the streams that connect them. The PFD is created graphically using point and click, drag and drop. The important strength lies in its ability to identify trends that are due only to changing fouling resistances and not caused by other factors, such as changing crudes and product slates and varying ambient conditions which all conspire to mask the real trends. The software allows us to perform routine calculations for a number of Networks with a minimum of effort. This software provides the flexible output. You can export the PFD drawing to PowerPoint so that you can use it in a presentation. You can get results tables displayed directly on the screen. You can have a summary of Reconciliation, Fouling and NFIT runs for a range of cases. You can plot results from a range of cases to view trends.

Anurag Tiwari*, Kumar Verma, Richa Gopal Department of Chemical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Raipur, C.G., 492 010 *Corresponding Author: anuragtiwari.nitrr@gmail.com Mobile No: +91 7566346746 Abstract In the present work production of hydrogen using aluminum and aluminum alloys with aqueous alkaline solutions was performed. Nowadays, new processes of H2 generation from water via Al corrosion are mainly limited by Al passivation. This process is based on aluminum corrosion, consuming only water and aluminum which are cheaper raw materials than other compounds used for in situ hydrogen generation, such as chemical hydrides. In principle this method does not consume alkali because the aluminate salts produced in the hydrogen generation undergo a decomposition reaction that regenerates the alkali. While in the current work, alloy of aluminum with silicon have been taken. Effect of aluminum and aluminum alloy concentration, corrosion time and pH on generation of hydrogen was studied. SEM was used to study the changes in surface properties of metal occurring due to corrosion. The obtained result showed that Al/Si alloy produces more hydrogen than aluminum, although with a low reaction efficiency reaching a hydrogen production yield upto 14 % at pH 12. Maximum production of hydrogen from Al/Si alloy upto 800 cm3. Furthermore, an improvement of hydrogen production rates and yields was observed varying aluminum alloys composition and increasing their reactive surface, with interesting results for Al/Si alloys. The development of this idea could improve yields and reduce costs in power units based on fuel cells which use hydrides as raw material for hydrogen production.

Harini Kantamneni, Akhila Gollakota Department of Chemical Engineering, BITS PILANI Email: harini15291@gmail.com, akhilagollakota@yahoo.com
Abstract Space solar power is a challenging, long-term opportunity to tap space's unlimited resources rather than relying only on Earth's limited ones. It will help sustain human life on Earth and, at a future time, in space. Space has a number of advantages for solar power. Resources are limited but the desires are unlimited. The solution to this problem of finite sources is to utilize terrestrial renewable energy resources to the maximum extent possible, while at the same time developing Space solar power a global, 24-hour-a-day energy supply. The volume of solar energy hitting the earth is more than twice that generated by all the forms of energy sources both conventional and non-conventional put together. The energy received from the Sun in just one hour is sufficient enough to meet the entire global energy demand for around one year. Electricity generation using photo-voltaic cells is receiving increasing attention as a means of electricity generation that produces neither CO2, NO2 nor SO2 pollution as do systems using fossil fuel burning, nor radiation like nuclear power systems. However, because solar energy generation is impossible at night and of poor efficiency during cloudy weather, stable electricity generation is difficult. However, if solar panels are launched into space they can produce power continuously, independent of the weather and of the day-and-night cycle. The Solar Power Satellite (SPS) concept involves a satellite carrying photo- voltaic panels in geo-stationary orbit (GEO) to generate electricity, and transmitting this power to the Earth's surface. Solar power generation, especially space solar power, is one of the most promising alternative technologies for reducing CO2 emissions and thus reducing Green House Effect. This paper gives the design principles of the solar power satellite, the components and their functions and how it becomes a reliable solution to energy crisis.

APPLICATIONS OF COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

I Sreedhar, Manvendra Singh, Arun Tomar Department of chemical engineering, Birla Institute of Technology and Science-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, Shameerpet -500078 (A.P) Email: isreedhar@bits-hyderabad.ac.in Abstract CFD is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with surfaces defined by boundary conditions. This makes it possible to achieve various results without actually performing the experiment. In this paper, various applications of CFD in chemical engineering involving fluid flow, heat and mass transfer are discussed. Starting from basic applications like nozzles, diffusers, heat exchangers, catalytic converters, even the most recent and advanced applications of CFD which include food processing and chemical reactor design have been studied. CFD models and sample simulations are also included in this paper for the sake of better understanding. Using computational fluid dynamics to design commercial-size batch and continuous reactors can eliminate subjective experience and empiricism, and lead to better-designed, more-efficient units. When modeling chemical reactors using CFD, the fluid-flow patterns and temperature fields are calculated from conservation equations for mass, momentum and enthalpy. Using Ansys Fluent, fluid flows under various conditions have been simulated. For reacting flows, the mixing and transport of chemical species needs to be calculated using species-transport equations. Each equation is a statement of conservation of a single species. Multiple- species equations can be used to represent components in a mixture, each of which has different physical properties. To balance the mass transfer from one species to another, reaction rates are used in each species conservation equation, and have as factors, the molecular weights, concentrations and stoichiometries for that species in all reactions.

MODELLING OF A MEMBRANE CONTACTOR FOR THE REMOVAL OF CO2 FROM FLUE GAS
N.Arun Prem Anand, Chhayakanta Acharya (M.E. Chemical Engineering) BITS-Pilani, Pilani, Rajasthan 333031. Address: N.Arun Prem Anand, #2159 Malviya Bhavan B, BITS-Pilani, Pilani, Rajasthan - 333031 Email: arunpremanand@gmail.com Mobile No: +919785913372 Abstract The global chemical industry faces a range of challenges nowadays in increasing the energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption in the process and environmental pollution. Novel technologies and radical improvements are required to address these challenges. Carbon- di -oxide, a green house gas which contributes to global warming has to be removed from the flue gas to adhere to environmental regulations. Conventional removal of Carbondi-oxide from flue gas is done by amine absorption followed by stripping. However, in membrane separation process, the separation takes place without phase transition thus saving energy. A membrane contactor has the advantages of both membrane technology and absorption technology. It also has many advantages over conventional contacting devices such as high surface area per unit volume of contactor, separate control of gas and liquid flow and known gas liquid interfacial area. The absorption rate of CO2 per unit volume of the membrane contactor is 2,7 times higher than that of the packed column because of the increased gas-liquid contacting area. In a membrane contactor the membrane serves as an interface between the feed gas and the absorption liquid. In the case of separation of CO2 from flue gas stream, CO2 diffuses from the feed gas side through the membrane pores and is then passed to the liquid phase and absorbed in the absorption liquid.The objective of the present work is to mathematically model a membrane contactor for the separation of Carbondi-oxide from flue gas. Poly vinylidene florid (PVDF) membrane contactor is mathematically modelled for the separation of Carbon-di-oxide from a flue gas mixture using Mono Ethanol Amine (MEA) aqueous solution by considering fully developed laminar flow in the tube side, constant tube and shell side pressures, wetted mode model, negligible axial dispersion, real gas behaviour, steady state and iso-thermal operating conditions.

EXTRACTION OF SILK SERICIN FROM DEGUMMING WASTEWATER AND BLENDING OF SERICIN WITH SODIUM ALGINATE-CHITOSAN FOR SUSTAINED DELIVERY OF ACECLOFENAC
Nandiwale Kakasaheb Yankappa 1, Madhavi Mulgund2 1 University Department of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University Jalgaon-425001, (Maharashtra) 2 Rajendra Mane College of Engineering and Technology Ambav (Devrukh), Sangameshwar, Dist.- Ratnagiri- 415804. (Maharashtra) Email: kakasaheb.kk@gmail.com, madhavimulgund@gmail.com Abstract In this study, we used effective technology for the extraction of waste water. Extraction was carried out with 90% (v/v) ethanol to obtain sericin powder. Micro-particulate drug delivery of aceclofenac was prepared by gelation technique using a blend of sodium alginate, chitosan and sericin as release retardant. The formulations were investigated for various evaluation parameters like in vitro drug release, ex-vivo mucoadhesivity. Characterization of the microsphere was done by FTIR. All the formulations showed good sustained release compared to the pure drug. The drug release data obtained were extrapolated by Zero order, Higuchi, First order, Korsmeyer-Peppas and Hixson-Crowell equations to know the mechanism of drug release from the formulations. The results showed a good fit in Zero order model and Korsmeyer-Peppas model. The R2 value ranges from 0.910 to 0.981 for Zero order model and for Korsmeyer-Peppas model R2 values range from 0.887 to 1.00 and coefficient of determination n values range from 1.044 to 1.926. Kinetic modeling of in vitro dissolution profiles revealed the drug release mechanism ranges from diffusion controlled or Fickian transport to anomalous type or non-Fickian transport, which was only dependent on the type and amount of polymer used. The drug release followed both diffusion and erosion mechanism in all cases. The simulation of kinetic modeling on drug release from controlled drug delivery systems was done. Development tool used for simulation was Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. The platform used was C# .Net Framework. Simulation could be used to predict the release kinetics before the release systems are realized. Key words: Micro-particulate drug delivery, mucoadhesivity, simulation, sustained release.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a remarkable membrane material. Due to its high melting point, PTFE fine powder cannot be processed using the conventional melting processing methods. Instead, techniques such as paste extrusion, rolling and sintering have to be employed. The water vapor transport properties of polymer membranes are critical in applications of waterproof breathable clothing materials. Several test methods are available for measuring the permeability of polymer membrane or laminates but they are either time-consuming or require large amounts of sample. A new test apparatus was devised for determining the water vapor permeability of polymer. Additionally, the water vapor transport behavior of the PTFE membrane does not depend upon the water content in the polymer. Unsintered PTFE films were uniaxially stretched using Universal Testing machine at a speed of 100 mm/sec and sintered in the stretched position by blowing hot air of temperature 3700C over it for 5 minutes and cooled down to room temperature. Sequential biaxial stretching of PTFE film has been done by first stretching in transverse direction and sintered in the stretched position and then stretched in longitudinal direction and sintered similarly as mentioned above. MVTR of both uniaxially and biaxially stretched films was determined by inverted cup method and the MVTR was found to be 4500 g.m-2.24 h-1 for uniaxially stretched and 5075 g.m-2.24 h-1 for biaxially stretched film as per ASTM E 96. These high values of Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) show good breathability of the films and are quite suitable for using as a waterproof breathable moisture barrier membrane for fire protective suits. In addition, we describe a precision PTFE stretch operation with asymmetric heating system, and how it can be used to improve the properties of PTFE membrane. Different stretching ratio (none and 50%), asymmetry heating temperature (420oC), and different heating time (5 and 10 s) were used to modify the PTFE membrane pore size. It was found that a higher stretching rate tends to result in larger pore size and broader pore size distribution at the same heating time. At a shorter heating time and without stretch at asymmetric heating process, the porosity of PTFE membrane was increased from 50 to 70% and the mean pore size was decreased from 0.15 to 0.08 mm. Key words: PTFE membrane films, WVTR, Different stretching ratio.

EQUILIBRIUM STUDIES ON RECOVERY OF GLYCOLIC ACIDS USING ALIQUAT 336

Richa Gopal, Amit Keshav* Department of Chemical Engineering, National Institute of Technology (NIT) Raipur, Chhattisgarh -492010, INDIA *Email: dr.amitkeshav@gmail.com, Phone: 09630058194 Abstract Carboxylic acids are organic acids characterized by the presence of at least one carboxyl group. Glycolic acid is a mono carboxylic acid having wide variety of uses such as in textile industries, as preservative in food & in cosmetics etc. In the synthetic manufacturing recovery of acid is essential. Reactive extraction is a closed loop process and with proper combination of extractant and diluent could bring intensification in removal of glycolic acid from dilute solutions. Quaternary amine could be cheap and effective extractant for recovery of glycolic acid owing to their ability to extract acid under both acidic and neutral pHs. For elucidation of various parameters effects on the reactive extraction of glycolic acid, Aliquat 336 was used with xylene, MIBK and ethylene chloride as diluent respectively. Aliquat 336 was used in volume percentage of 10-30 % in various diluents. A tremendous increase in degree of extraction was obtained in all the cases when compared with physical extraction. Data on equilibrium extraction were given in terms of distribution coefficient (KD), degree of extraction (E%) and equilibrium complexation constant (KE). KE was obtained to be 1.306, 0.875 and 1.484 l/mol when 30% Aliquat 336 was used in xylene, MIBK and ethylene chloride respectively. When comparing the diluents in the acids investigated are found a striking difference between MIBK and xylene while ethylene chloride on the other side gives maximum extraction.

S.A.Dharaskar, K.L. Wasewar, M.N.Varma, D.Z.Shende Department of Chemical Engineering, Visvesvaraya National Institute of technology, Nagpur (M.S) 440012.INDIA E-mail Address: swapnildharaskar11@gmail.com Abstract Ionic liquids (ILs) are a group of new organic salts that exist as liquids at a low temperature (<100 C). An important feature of ILs is their immeasurably low vapor pressure. For this reason, they are called green solvents, in contrast to traditional volatile organic compounds (VOCs). ILs have many attractive properties, such as chemical and thermal stability, non-flammability, high ionic conductivity, and a wide electrochemical potential window. This Paper summarizes recent applications of ionic liquids (ILs) as green solvents in extractions of a variety of substances, including metal ions, organic and bio- molecules, organosulfur from fuels, and gases. ILs could also be used along with another green technology, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), for a more effective separation of products from ILs. In addition to their environmentally-benign feature, ILs have other favourable properties over organic solvents used for extraction, such as adjustable hydrophobicity, polarity and selectivity.

Srinivasulu K M. Tech Ceramic Technology A.C.College Of Technology Anna University Chennai 600 025 Abstract Alumina-zirconia composite materials were produced with different acid ratios by the sol-gel method using aluminum isopropoxide and zirconium chloride. The composites were produced by changing acid ratio in alumina. The composite materials were calcinated at 600C, 900C and 1300C. The effects of acid concentration and calcination temperature on the surface area and pore radius were determined from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm at 77 K. The density of the composites was also measured. The minimum density of produced material was recorded as 1.35 g cm-3 at an acid ratio of 0.2. The highest specific surface area and pore diameter of the lightest material are 191.86 m2 g-1 and 18.4 , respectively. Although pore diameter and specific surface area are not changed at any of the experimental temperatures which were tested by decreasing acid ratio, the density is slightly increased. However, it was observed that the calcination temperature significantly affects the surface area and density of the material. Keywords: Alumina-zirconia composite material Sol-gel method BET Porosity

The synthesized PLA-co-EC copolymer was used for controlled drug release systems with gold nanoparticles Fluorouracil (5-Fu) containing PLAco-EC nanocapsules were prepared in the presence of gold nanoparticles via solvent evaporation method. The drug entrapped nanocapsules were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average diameter of gold nanoparticles was found to be in the range of 18-20 nm and size of the nanocapsules was found to be in the range of 230-260 nm. The controlled drug release of anticancer drugs entrapped nanocapsules were carried out in 0.1M HCl and 0.1M phosphate buffer (pH-7.4). Results indicated that the drug release for gold nanoparticles/fluorouracil (Au@Fu) incorporated PLA-co-EC nanocapsules was controlled and slow compare to Fu incorporated PLA-co-EC nanocapsules. This may be due the interaction between the gold nanoparticles and fluorouracil in PLA-co-EC nanocapsules. Key word: Nanocapsules, Dehydration, Phosphate buffer, Trapping, Morphology

Email: usmani_ga@yahoo.co.in, jyoti.jaydev@gmail.com Abstract Several diesters compounds were synthesized from commercially available castor oil derived acid derivatives and common fatty acids. The key step in the three step synthesis of oleochemical diesters entails the formation of acetylated capryl hydroxy stearate with different fatty acids (dihydrostearic acid, myristic, palmatic, stearic, oleic, linoleic acids) through selection of the suitable reactants such as 12-hydroxy stearic acid, capryl alcohol (2octanol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (ptsa) as one of the acid catalyst for esterification and further acetylation of capryl hydroxy stearate with acid anhydride to form diester. All of these produced compounds are liquid except 12-hydroxy stearic acid are solids. The diester formed from the reaction mass was monitored by verifying its pH, temperature. The characterization analysis revealed that tested parameters, which include moisture content, specific gravity at 25C, refractive index at, 25C, acid value, saponification value and iodine value of respective diester, were within the standard specifications. The identity of products was characterized by GC and TLC. The results showed that increasing chain length of the mid chain ester and in the end-chain ester had a positive influence on the high temperature properties of diesters In fact the value obtained for the ester formed indicates that the ester could certainly be used as emollients. The diester was compared with Isopropyl Myristate which is one of the best emollients in terms of spreadability test. Keywords: Castor oil derivative, esterification, acetylation capryl hydroxy stearate, acetylated capryl hydroxyl stearate, diesters, Isopropyl myristate, spreadability test, emollients.

Abstract This article mainly deals with recovery of CS2, which is entrapped inside the fibre in spinning section of the Viscose staple fiber plant. The fiber enters a specially designed closed rectangular box called the recovery trough, where a jet of steam under high pressure and temperature is passed uniformly at different points to vaporize the CS2 entrapped in the fiber, which is then allowed to flow upwards through a conical shaped vent to the scrubber and then to the condensation system, consisting of optimally designed heat exchangers for the condensation of CS2. Various improved designs for more recovery were analyzed and the best suggested design is being discussed. These design models are suitable even during drastic climatic changes. Recovery of more CS2 from the spinning means results in lower emission rates and exposure to the operator. Carbon disulphide (CS2) that escapes in the spinning section is very expensive to recover and hence allowed to escape into the atmosphere. The new recovery trough has been provided with automatically adjustable and porous baffles to maintain required pressure inside the trough. This method is relatively cheap and safe for the recovery of CS2.

The column was equipped with the sparger type of perforated plate with the porosity. In this study, liquid phase and gas phase were water and air respectively. Gas hold up, bubble size and effect of sparger type in different gas velocity were investigated. Gas hold up was determined with differential pressure method and used to estimate the transition velocity in slurry bubble column reactors. The results showed that with increasing the superficial gas velocity, the total gas hold up increases. Also perforated -type sparger increases the diameter of bubbles up to 35% and decreases gas hold up to about 40% respectively. Also it was found that the Hikitas correlation predicts the gas hold up value better than other presented correlations in this system. Keywords: Gas holds up; Bubble column; Bubble size; Sparger

Abstract This article deals with the total steam and energy analysis of the Acid Plant section of Grasim Industries Limited, Nagda. Heat losses in various components of acid plant are analyzed. The main product produced in the acid plant section is Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4). Sulfuric acid is mainly used in the Spin Bath section in the process of VSF production. Sulfuric acid is manufactured by the latest Double Conversion Double Absorption (DCDA) technology by burning sulfur in air to form sulfur dioxide, which is then catalytically converted to sulfur trioxide and absorbed in sulfuric acid in Absorption Towers to get sulfuric acid. Heat is generated in Furnace and Convertor due to the exothermic reactions. This excessive heat is used to produce steam. Main components of acid plant where significant heat transfer takes place are Melting Pits, Waste Heat Boilers, Heat Exchangers and Economizers. The steam generated is used in sulfur melting pits and CS2 plant. The extra steam generated is sent to Auxiliary plant and other sections. Based on our observations and readings recommendations are provided on how to reduce the heat losses and conserve energy.

DELAYED COKING OF BOMBAY HIGH VACUUM RESIDUE

A.N. Sawarkar Department of Chemical Engineering, Anuradha Engineering College (AEC), Chikhli-443201, Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Maharashtra, India E-mail:ansawarkar@rediffmail.com Abstract Delayed coking process has generated renewed interest among the petroleum refiners because of the trend of processing heavy oils in petroleum refineries. Because of the tight refinery margins, it has become imperative to squeeze out value added products out of the petroleum residue. In the present work, the coking of Bombay High vacuum residue (BHVR) which is obtained as a bottom of the vacuum distillation unit from a crude oil of Indian origin (Bombay High) was investigated. The experiments were carried out in the batch reaction mode in the temperature range of 430-475C and at a pressure of 0.2 MPa in an autoclave bomb reactor. The reaction time was varied in the range of 5 to 90 minutes. A comparison between the coking behavior of BHVR which forms one of the major commercial feedstocks of Indian Origin with that of Arabian Mix vacuum residue (Sawarkar et al., 2007) has been sought. The reaction mixture was quantified in terms of gas, distillates, coke, and unconverted vacuum residue. The coke yield was found to be significantly lower for BHVR vis--vis Arabian Mix vacuum residue while that of liquid product yield was found more than that for Arabian Mix Vacuum Residue under similar operating conditions.

UTILIZATION OF DAIRY WASTE SCUM FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL AND GLYCERIN
Pravin Kasture, A.N. Sawarkar Department of Chemical Engineering, Anuradha Engineering College (AEC), Chikhli-443201, Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Maharashtra, India E-mail:ansawarkar@rediffmail.com Abstract: Milk production in India is about 150 million tons per year and is expected to increase in the future in view of the increasing demand. Large dairies usually have number of equipments for handling, processing, storage, packing and transportation of milk and associated products. It may be pointed out that huge quantities of water are used for housekeeping, sterilizing, and washing equipments and during this process residual butter and associated fat which are washed get collected in effluent treatment plant as a scum. This scum causes direct as well as indirect operational difficulties for effluent treatment and hence is a notorious waste for the dairy industries as it causes disposal problems. The present work investigates the feasibility of the utilization of this dairy waste scum from milk industry for the production of biodiesel and glycerin. The dairy waste scum was procured from a dairy situated in Sangamner, Dist Ahmadnagar, Maharashtra. KOH was used as a catalyst for the transesterification process. The effect of temperature, methanol to oil ratio, and reaction time, and agitation were investigated. The fuel properties viz., specific gravity, viscosity, flash point, pour point, and distillation characteristics for 90% of the biodiesel recovery were studied. Except for pour point which was found to be higher vis--vis petroleum diesel, the other properties were quite comparable and some even better than the properties petroleum diesel. The present analysis confirms that biodiesel from dairy waste scum is quite suitable with recommended fuel properties as per ASTM standards. This way for using dairy waste scum reduces the cost of production of bio-diesel as it is obtained from the non-edible oil as well as the problems related to the disposal of dairy scum. Keywords: dairy waste scum, biodiesel, glycerin, transesterification

BIODIESEL AN ALTERNATIVE FUEL AND ITS EFFECT ON HEALTH IN INDIA

Mr. Hitendra R.Sarode Asst Professor, SSGBCOET, Bhusawal Mechanical Engineering Department, India hitendra.sarode@gmail.com Abstract Biodiesel is a renewable, environmentally friendly substitute for petroleum-based diesel fuel. It is produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, or wastes cooking oils and fats, and can be used in existing diesel engines without any expensive modifications. Biodiesel can also be added to petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend with favorable performance attributes and environmental benefits roughly proportional to the biodiesel fraction. Biodiesel is safe, nontoxic, biodegradable, and reduces the emissions of many harmful compounds associated with the combustion of petroleum-based diesel. Because biodiesel is produced from domestically produced plant oils or waste fats, switching from petroleum-based diesel to biodiesel decreases dependence on foreign petroleum, reduces net greenhouse gas emissions, and provides tangible benefits for the domestic economy. This paper describe the biodiesel analyze the social, political, and economic factors that have prompted people to consider replacing petroleum-based diesel with biodiesel, and explore the potential for biodiesel adoption in India. Public and private fleet vehicles represent a particularly attractive market for biodiesel, especially in the India, although future demand is dependent on public policy decisions. Since one of the key values provided by biodiesel is the regional nature of its production. Key words: biodiesel performance, exhaust emissions, Environmental aspects, India

Email: dsatyajeet@gmail.com, pmingole@gmail.com, sonalidahapute@gmail.com Abstract Production of hydrogen from renewable energy sources offers a great potential for CO2 emission reduction, responsible for global warming. Among renewable energies, liquid biofuels are very convenient hydrogen carriers for decentralized applications such as micro-cogeneration and transports. Ethanol, produced from sugar plants and cereals, allows a reduction of more than 60% of CO2 emissions in comparison to gasoline. BIOSTAR is an R&D project, co-funded by the French Agency for Environment and Energy Management (ADEME) which aims at developing an efficient source of hydrogen from bioethanol, suitable for proton exchange membrane fuel cell systems. The objectives are to obtain, through catalytic process at medium temperature range, an efficient conversion of bioethanol into pure hydrogen directly usable for PEMFC. CETH has developed a catalytic membrane reformer (CMR), based on a patented technology, integrating a steam reforming catalyst as well as a combustion catalyst. Both catalysts have been developed and optimized for membrane reactor in partnership with the University of Poitiers. The composite metallic membrane developed by CETH allows hydrogen extraction near the hydrogen production sites, which enhances both efficiency and compactness.

Email: sonalidahapute@gmail.com, pmingole@gmail.com, dsatyajeet@gmail.com Abstract Microreactor technology (MRT) has been receiving increasingly more attention during the recent decades. Microreactor, having characteristic length scale in the submillimeter range, is a very promising device to be used for various small scale favoring applications such as for distributed hydrogen production. Small size is favorable for many reasons. In addition to compactness and lightweight micro-scale reactors provide, several other advantages compared to conventional reactors have been perceived. They are safer to use, have higher heat and mass transfer rates and simplified scale-up, to name a few. Besides, higher selectivitys and/or yield can be attained for a number of reactions. In the context of distributed hydrogen production, microreactors can serve as reformers, for instance. This review is actually concerned with microreactors and their potential applications for onsite hydrogen production using a steam reforming (SR) technique. This review is concerned with SR of both methanol (SRM) and ethanol (SRE) since these fuels have great advantages over other more common fuels such as methane or gasoline. Most importantly, these two alcohols can be reformed at lower temperatures compared to high temperature methane or gasoline reforming thus allowing higher efficiencies. Moreover, bio-ethanol, which can be converted from biomass, is an extremely attractive fuel to be used in SR to produce hydrogen as it allows zero net gas emissions to the air.

DIMETHYL ETHER AS A TRANSPORT FUEL
Abstract A great deal of enthusiasm is currently noticeable for synthetically derived fuels from the fossil sources. Notable among such fuels are the diesel, gasoline and jet fuel for which fairly well developed commercial manufacturing processes are in place. A more recent addition to this family of sulfur free, near-zero aromatics synthetic fuels is dimethyl ether (DME), which is considered an excellent substitute for conventional diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).Asian Countries particularly china, India, Japan And Koreawith theirhighest expected energy consumption rates are showing great interest in DME as these countries are large consumers of diesel, DME has involed interested as an environmentally being fuel. PRODUCTION OF DME FROM NATURAL GAS VIA SINGLE STEP DME SYNTHESIS Production of DME from BIOMASS DME has several physical properties similar to those of LPG, DME has also been found to possess cleaner burning characteristic as compare to conventional petroleum derived diesel. For that reason, DME is envisaged as clean alternate fuel of future for electricity generation , domestic heating and automotive power.DME can be produced from a gas mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide (generally term as synthesis gas) which is synthesis from natural gas, coal or bio-mass.

Abstract Lubricating oils are fluids such as engine oils, gear, hydraulic oils, turbine oils, etc., which are used to reduce friction between movingsurfaces. They also serve to remove heat fromworking parts in machinery, remove wear debris,created by moving surfaces, and provide aprotective layering on the metal surfaces toavoid corrosion. Lubricating oils are preparedby blending different viscosity-based oils withsuitable proportion of additives. Base oils areeither derived from crude oil or are syntheticmaterial manufactured by chemical processes.Re-refining of used lubricating oil is anintelligent option for any country, more so forIndia, as it would conserve both the naturalresources as well as foreign exchange. It wouldalso make us near self-reliant in lube oils.In this paper, an attempt has been made todiscuss composition of used lubricating oil,various facts about hazardous nature of usedoils, etc. The recycling of used oil due toeconomic, environmental, public health and legalreasons have been explained in detail. The majorbottlenecks in adopting this technology alongwith the government policy and relevantrecommendations have also been made.

The oxidation behavior of Fe-Cr-Al alloys containing 10% chromium and aluminum in the range of 2 - 8% by weight in pure oxygen at 1 atmosphere pressure at higher temperatures under cyclic conditions (3 hour cycles) has been studied. In metallographic investigation, healing layers of Cr2O3 and of Cr2O3/a -Al2O3 could be observed after breakaway of the initial protective alloy in case of the 2%Al and 4%Al alloys but the 6%Al and 8%Al alloys reformed external a -Al2O3 scales at all the temperatures and develops a convoluted configuration. It is postulated that lateral growth results from the formation of oxide within the existing oxide layer by reaction between oxygen diffusing inward down the oxide grain boundaries and aluminium diffusing outward through the bulk oxide. The scales developed on the four alloys maintain more or less good contact with the alloy and thicken more slowly in case of 2%Al and 4%Al alloys. These effects can be associated with the reduction in the rate of transport of chromium across the scale in case of 4%Al and 6%Al alloys and with formation of intergranular and internal oxides in the underlying alloy substrate.

ULSD: A FUTURE POTENTIAL PETROCHEMICAL IN GREEN CHEMISTRY

Jyoti Jaydev, Ajay Rathore, G.A. Usmani, P.D. Meshram, Vishal Deshmukh University Department of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon- 425001 (M.S) Email: ajay.rathore820@gmail.com, jyoti.jaydev@gmail.com Abstract Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) used to describe diesel fuel with substantially lowered sulfur content. The combination of ULSD with advanced emission control technologies is sometimes called clean diesel. Almost all of the petroleum-based diesel fuel available in Europe and North America is of a ULSD type. The move to lower sulfur content is expected to allow the application of newer emissions control technologies that should substantially lower emissions of particulate matter from diesel engines. This change occurred first in the European Union and is now happening in North America. New emissions standards, dependent on the cleaner fuel, have been in effect for automobiles. ULSD has lower energy content due to the heavy processing required to remove large amounts of sulfur from oil, leading to lower fuel economy. Using it requires more costly oil. Concerns about the world's oil supply and ever-rising fuel prices have brought a renewed focus on diesel's superior fuel economy. Because of their unique engine design, diesel engines are typically 20-40% more fuel-efficient than comparable gasoline engines. The transition to clean diesel will have a definite impact on future consumer choices, as automakers formulate strategies and introduce new passenger vehicles to take advantage of this shifting market. The cleaner diesel fuel program significantly reduces sulfur content, creating immediate health benefits, and allowing engine manufacturers to begin using advanced emissions control systems that further reduce harmful emissions. Currently, the vast majority of ultra-low sulfur diesel is produced from petroleum. However, biodiesel (along with some emerging advanced fuels) is inherently ultra-low sulfur and could help meet ULSD requirements in the future. Ultra-low sulfur content in diesel fuel is beneficial because it enables use of advanced emission control technologies on light- and heavy-duty diesel vehicles. Keywords: Ultra-low-sulfur diesel, emissions standards, clean diesel, biodiesel.

ALTERNATIVE FUELS
Mr. Shahid Z Ansari, Mr.Zakir Husain. shahidtechno.87@gmail.com University Department of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon Abstract With the ever-increasing demand for alternative fuels comes the need for new and inventive technology to increase efficiency and help reduce capital investment and operational costs. Algae fractionation technology, is applying a new technology to the Alternative Fuels industry. This Technology is complete turnkey for a wide-range of alternative fuel applications, including biodiesel processing and recovery of oil from corn ethanol still age. With the skyrocketing price of vegetable oil, there is much interest in algaculture, which is farming algae to harvest for making biodiesel, bioethanol, biogasoline, bio-methanol, biobutanol and other bio-fuels. Microalgae have the potential to become a major global renewable fuels source, beneficially utilizing sunlight, carbon dioxide and nutrients to rapidly grow long chain hydrocarbons (lipids). These procedures have been refined through bench-scale extraction tests and batch processed pilot plant trials and validated through collaboration with leading entities in the private and public sectors.
Another best alternative source of energy is the energy obtained by fusion of hydrogen atoms. Nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple atomic nuclei join together to form a single heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of large quantities of energy. It has been accompanied by extreme scientific and technological difficulties, but has resulted in progress. Fusion power would provide much more energy for a given weight of fuel than any technology currently in use, and the fuel itself (primarily deuterium) exists abundantly in the Earth's ocean: about 1 in 6500 hydrogen atoms in seawater is deuterium. An important aspect of fusion energy in contrast to many other energy sources is that the cost of production is inelastic.

Yawatmal Add: Girls hostel no.1, NMU, Jalgaon(MS),India. ingleanju62@yahoo.com Abstract Process intensification consists of the development of novel apparatuses and techniques that compared to those commonly used today, are expected to bring dramatic improvements in manufacturing and processing, substantially decreasing equipment size, production capacity ratio, energy consumption and ultimately resulting in cheaper, sustainable technologies. Waste water produced from many industries such as sugar, dyeing, textile, mineral processing and food processing industries is either reused after being treated by conventional treatment methods or pumped to drainage systems without treatment. This represents serious environmental problems and causes challenges to the countries which face water shortage. Old waste water treatment processes were facing the problems with increased capacity needs as well as the variety of constraints for their disposal processes. Membrane technology is one of the separation or water treatment use now a days. The potential applications of the combination or coupling of membrane technology with aerobic digestion could be utilized for treating waste water coming from different operations of sugar industry such as mill house, process house, boiler house, cooling pond to level suitable for direct reuse, safe discharge to surface water bodies and for the drinking pourse. Advantages of the process include good control of biological activity, high quality effluent free of bacteria and pathogens, smaller plant size, and higher organic loading rates. Also effective removal of nitrates, herbicides, pesticides, and endocrine disrupting compounds may be achieved by this process. Combination also reduced the capital cost, operating cost, construction cost of aerobic digester and retention time. Thus this combination is referred as "Process Intensification".

Bari, Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry Division, National Chemical Laboratory, Pune-411008 * Tel: 020-25902581; Fax: 020-25902633; Email: vr.chumbhale@ncl.res.in Abstract Heterogeneous catalysis is widely applied in industry due to important advantages it offers to chemical process in comparision with homogeneous catalysts may be : easy separation of reaction products from catalyst ,no limitation of reaction conditions , especially reaction temperature , no corrosion of reactor , regenerable , easy to handle and easy and safe disposal. There is relatively less studies of solid base catalysts in comparision of solid acid catalysts. Alkaline earth oxides (MgO,CaO,SrO,BaO) , alkaline oxides (Li2O , Na2O, K2O , Rb2O ,Cs2O ), rare earth oxides ( La2O3, CeO , Y2O3 , Nd2O3 , etc) and others such as ThO2 ZrO2 ZnO, CdO are solid base catalysts 1,2. Types of reactions catalyzed by solid bases are (1) Isomerization of double bond (H migration): olefins, alkyne, allene, unsaturated compounds containing heteroatom (s) (2) Additions: hydrogenation, amination, aldol (3) Decomposition: alcohol, amine, halogen substituted alkane (4) Alkylation: phenol \, aniline (5) Esterification: aldehyde and (6) Exchange: olefin-D2, H2-D2 1. In the present work ZnO was chemically modified with appropriate nitrate salts of different elements with varying amounts (qualitatively and quantitatively) by wet-impregnation, dried at 96 C using a water bath and calcined at uniform temperature of 500 C for 6 h in the muffle furnace. The modified solids were examined by recording XRD profiles for their modifications (phase change, if any) and effect of different modification with respect to quantitative addition of respective solutions is studied for I /I0 of ZnO (wurtzite structure ) . The different inorganic phases formed were ascertained by JCPDS diffraction files3. The XRD profiles of some modified ZnO catalysts are presented. Cyclohexanone is an important intermediate because of its use in the manufacture of - caprolactum (via cyclohexanone oxime route) which is used in as lactam for nylon 6. It finds applications as solvent for cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose and natural and vinyl resins4. Cyclohexene (which is formed due to dehydration of cyclohexanol) is used as an alkylating component and as a stabilizer for high octane gasoline and also finds applications in the manufacture of maleic acid, hexahydrobenzoic acid and cyclohexanecarbaldehyde5. The chemically modified ZnO catalysts are proposed to study for dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol by vapour phase (eco-friendly) at atmospheric pressure.

USE OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK FOR MODELING LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION PROCESS ON RASCHING RINGS PACKED BED EXTRACTION COLUMN
Sangharsh G. Dongre, Rajkumar S. Sirsam Department of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon- 425001, M.S., India Abstract Several Mathematical Models have been developed for processes involving Packed Bed Extraction Column. According to these models, the mass transfer as well as hydrodynamic processes is important factors for the column performance. Usually, the mathematical simulation models describing processes in the packed columns are very complex despite of many simplified assumptions are made. It also needs excessive time to prepare computer programme to produce simulation data for further analysis. Therefore, an alternative approach based on Artificial Neural Network is applied to assist in speeding up the simulation process. This paper presents a new application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique for modeling of liquid-liquid extraction process in the Packed Bed Extraction Column. The comparison between Neural Network output and mathematical model output is also presented.

Vishal H.Bhagat, A.K.Goswami M.Tech (Chemical Engg) final year UDCT, NMU, Jalgaon Email: vbhagat2006@rediffmail.com Abstract Green energy is energy that is produced in a manner that has less negative impact on environment than energy sources like fossil fuels. The goal of green energy is to create power with as little pollution as possible as a by-product. The main renewable energy sources are hydro, biomass (organic matter), geothermal, solar, wind and biofuels.The various bio-fuels are bio-diesel, bio-ethanol and biomass. The bio-fuels are combustible materials directly or indirectly derived from bio-mass commonly produced from plants, animals and microorganisms but also from organic waste. The bio-fuel may be solid, liquid or gas and include all kind of biomass and derived products. The bio-ethanol is produced from corn, wheat and sugarbeet.The bio-diesel is produced from animal fats and vegetable oils such as rapeseed oil, canola oil, soybean oil, sun-flower oil, palm oil. The gaseous bio-fuels are bio-gas, landfill gas and synthetic gas. Bio-fuels replace fossil fuels avoiding GHG emissions. However, large scale expansion of biofuels could cause the release of GHG emissions.The sustainable energy is energy that in its production or consumption has minimum negative impact on human health and the healthy functioning of vital ecological systems. It is accepted that renewable energy is a sustainable form of energy which has attracted more attention in recent years.More and more are using green energy sources because it is the only way they can aid the environment. Green energy is the future of next generation fuels. Keywords: Geothermal energy, biomass, renewable, environment, ecology

EXTRACTION OF OIL FROM SOLID WASTES IN STEEL INDUSTRY

Manjiri S. Nimbekar, Amruta Badnore M.Tech (Chemical Engg.) manjirinimbekar@gmail.com UDCT, NMU, JALGAON (425001) Abstract Solid wastes such as mill sludge are generated at various rolling mill operations in steel industry which are collected in process water treatment units close to the rolling mills. This mill sludge by product contains various size fractions (Top size -1mm) of iron oxides, moisture and hydrocarbons (oil and greases) from different sources. Generally, non-oily mill scale containing high iron is being recycled through either briquetting or sintering route without any difficulties. The majority of oil mill scale produced in steel industry leads to land contamination. Recycling of mill scale is challenging due to high oil content. The excessive oil mill scale introduced through the sinter plant could potentially from dioxins, initiate glow fires to damage the equipment and cause a blue haze in the electrostatic precipitators used to clean the gases discharge from sintering operations. The oil contaminated mill scale in sintering making would also cause cracking of hydrocarbon. Therefore, a techno-economic viable pre treatment process is required to reduce the oil content before sinter making to recycle the mill scale. This poster shows Supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) extraction, that approximately removes 80% of oil from steel swaf during a 60-minute process to produce a batch of recyclable steel, and phosphorous removal also reacts the required level. This poster also compares with other physical and chemical all removing processes and proves SCCO2 process as best process.

Certain types of waste oils, lubricants in particular, can be proceed allowing for direct reuse. The use of waste oil after treatment can be either a high energy content, clean burning fuel or a lube base stock comparable to highly refined virgin oil. The three most commonly used re-refining technologies in respect of aiming at ensuring optimal product yield, meeting utility and energy requirements, limiting hazardous chemicals used and waste volumes produced are: The acid/clay re-refining process The vacuum distillation/clay process The vacuum distillation/hydro-treating process (hydro-processing) Acid clay re-refining process is non eco-friendly similarly other two process are less economical. To search an eco-friendly and economical method a research were carried out by using 1-butanol as solvent in batch reactor at low temperature. The specific gravity and viscosity reduction were observed for low temperature 1butanol treatment. Similarly, decrease in flash point was also observed. From comparison of re-refined lube oil base stock with low temperature 1-butanol, solvent treated oil; it was observed that low temperature 1-butanol solvent treated oil follow the required specification. Key words: Waste lube oil, recycling of waste lube oil, solvent treatment, 1-butanol solvent treatment.

S. S. Madana, c, V. S. Patilc B. R. Sankapala* a Thin Film and Nano Science Laboratory, School of Physical Sciences, Department of Physics, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon-425 001 (M.S) India b University Department of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon425 001 (M.S) India Abstract Supercapacitors are expected to have a much longer cycle life than batteries because negligibly small chemical charge transfer reactions are involved. Electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) or Supercapacitor uses carbon as the electrodes and stores charge in the electric field at the interface. It uses either aqueous or non-aqueous electrolyte. It gives high power density but low energy density. So the next generation electrochemical double layer capacitor which uses transition metal oxide as the electrode material along with carbon has been under innovation which is expected to deliver both desirable power and energy densities. As per this we consider this easy, fast and well-organized route to prepare the uniform coating of PEDOT: PSS on carbon nanotube (CNTs) as electrode by template-free chemical route such as dip coating at room temperature (27 oC) for Supercapacitor. This work investigated an efficient, short reaction time, neat conditions and cost-effectiveness for CNTs coated by PEDOT: PSS. The resultant PEDOT: PSS coated CNTs material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and UVvisible spectroscopy. The electrochemical capacitance properties of the composite were investigated with cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic chargedischarge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques in the two- or three-electrode cell system. From these studies it is confirmed that the as prepared coating of PEDOT: PSS on carbon CNTs possesses good electrochemical properties.

NEW BORN IN SEPARATION:- THE ULTRA PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

Pushpa Solanki, Pradeep Kumar University Department of Chemical Technolology NMU Jalgaon. pushpa338@gmail.com, pksolanki28@gmail.com Division of Pharmaceutical Technology, University Department of Chemical Technolology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon 425001 Abstract Chromatography is regarded as an analytical technique employed for the purification and separation of organic and inorganic substances. UPLC refers to Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography. UPLC can be regarded as a new direction for liquid chromatography. UPLC is a new category of analytical separation science that retains the practicality and principles of High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), while increasing the overall interlaced attributes of speed, sensitivity and resolution. UPLC with its shorter analysis times, narrow peak widths and enhanced peak heights has been widely accepted for better and faster separation. The UPLC technique in chemistry and instrumentation provides more information per unit of work. This technique uses very fine particles (less than 2.5m) so decreases the length of column, which saves time and reduces solvent consumption. The UPLC TM technology, based on the use of columns packed with 1.7 m porous particles combined with higher pressures than those conventionally applied in HPLC, enabled to improve in peak resolution, sensitivity and speed of analysis. UPLC chromatographic system is designed in a special way to withstand high system back-pressures. The UPLC system allows shortening analysis time up to nine times comparing to the conventional system using 5 m particle packed analytical columns. This technique is applicable to both radioactive and stable isotope labeled drug candidates. The application of UPLC resulted in the detection of additional drug metabolites, superior separation and improved spectral quality. Key words: UPLC, HPLC, Separation, Particle size etc.

ABSTRACT Corrosion is the destructive attack of a material by reaction with its environment. The serious consequences of the corrosion process have become a problem of worldwide significance. In addition to our everyday encounters with this form of degradation, corrosion causes plant shutdowns, waste of valuable resources, loss or contamination of product, reduction in efficiency, costly maintenance, and expensive overdesign; it also jeopardizes safety and inhibits technological progress.. Corrosion control is achieved by recognizing and understanding corrosion mechanisms, by using corrosion-resistant materials and designs, and by using protective systems, corrosion inhibitors, devices, and treatments. In this research paper, we shall discuss about the classification and mechanism of corrosion inhibitors, used in corrosion engineering By definition, a corrosion inhibitor a chemical substance that, when added in small concentration to an environment, effectively decreases the corrosion rate. The use of chemical inhibitors to decrease the rate of corrosion processes is quite varied. In the oil extraction and processing industries, inhibitors have always been considered to be the first line of defense against corrosion. A great number of scientific studies have been devoted to the subject of corrosion inhibitors. However, most of what is known has grown from trial and error experiments, both in the laboratories and in the field. Rules, equations, and theories to guide inhibitor development or use are very limited.

E-mail: vyas.chem@gmail.com; rajkumarsirsam@gmail.com; ABSTRACT In 2010, the daily global consumption of petroleum exceeded 123 million barrels resulting in the release of almost 19 billion metric tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere1. Consumption is expected to increase steadily over the next 50 years, driven in part by higher demands in developing nations. An alternative fuel for automotive transportation is of particular interest and would have a substantial impact on carbon emissions. Battery and fuel-cell technologies are strong candidates to replace gasoline and diesel engines. In particular, hydrogen is an attractive energy carrier because it is carbon-free, abundantly available from water, and has an exceptional mass energy density2. Hydrogen is stored on surface of material by physorption or weak van der wal forces. Thus, materials with large surface areas and low densities, such as metalorganic frameworks and certain activated carbons, are attractive for hydrogen storage applications. We have synthesized a Metal Organic Framework Copper Triazolate (Cu TRZ) having high surface area and hydrogen adsorption test were carried out on that material up to 70 bar. Copper triazolate showed good adsorption capacity of hydrogen. Keywords; Hydrogen Storage, Metal Organic Framework, Copper Triazolate

Ammar Arab Beddai ,V.V.BasavaRao and Basma A. Badday University College of Technology, Osmania University Hyderabad-500 007 Email: ammararab77@yahoo.com, drbasavarao@yahoo.com, bsmah83@yahoo.com Abstract Experimental and theoretical studies were carried out to investigate the performance of a fluidized bed ion exchange system to remove nitrate. The exchange of nitrate on strong anion exchange resin (TULSION A-27) was studied in the flow rate range of 2 to 7 L/h. Nitrate removal was done at five conditions of the expanded bed height (Z). The results showed that the experimental data can be fitted to Richardson and Zaki equation, and the comparison between the experimental and calculated terminal velocities showed low relative error. Solid-liquid fluidized beds (SLFB) are used in industry for hydrometallurgical operations, catalytic cracking, chromatographic separation, ion exchange, adsorption, crystallization and sedimentation, etc. However, the packed bed ion exchange process has some disadvantages such as high pressure drop and bed clogging. These disadvantages can be eliminated if the packed bed is replaced by a fluidized bed. The purpose of this study was to investigate nitrate removal in a liquid-solid fluidized bed ion-exchange system. The effects of operating parameters including liquid flow rate and height of the bed on the removal rate of nitrate were studied. The experimental data of voidage versus superficial velocity were successfully correlated using the Richardson-Zaki Equation.

Industrialization and urbanization have sharply been increasing energy usage. Reliance on fossil fuels could produce unprecedented environmental damage. The solution to this problem of finite sources is to utilize renewable energy resources to the maximum extent possible. With the increasing interest in biodiesel as an alternative to petro diesel; many have looked at the possibility of growing more oilseed crops as a solution to the problem of peak oil. There are two problems with this approach: first, growing more oilseed crops as a solution to the problem of peak oil. There are two problems with this approach: first, growing more oil seed crops would displace the food crops grown to feed mankind. Second, traditional oilseed crops are not the most productive or efficient source of vegetable oil. A recent breakthrough is bio fuel from algae. Algae have the potential to produce up to ten times more oil per acre than traditional bio fuel crops such as oil palm. They can survive where agricultural crops cant, such as in salt water and on marginal land. They thrive on a diet of waste carbon dioxide and the nutrients in agricultural run-off and municipal waste water. And in addition to fuels, valuable co-products, such as biopolymers, proteins and animal feed can be made during the process. In this paper methods of cultivation and harvest of algae and the potential of algae as a fuel is described in detail.

ADVANCE SEPERATION TECHNIQUE- REACTIVE DISTILLATION

Deepak P. Sondawale, Gaurav R . Mahalle, Amruta V . Ghatre B.Tech Chemical Engineering Third Year University Department Of Chemical Technology NMU, Jalgaon Abstract The combination of chemical reaction with distillation in only one unit is called reactive distillation. The performance of reaction with separation in one piece of equipment offers distinct advantage over the conventional, sequentional approach which involves designing of eight distillation columns and two reactor ancillary equipment in consideration with manufacture of methyl acetate. Especially for equilibrium limited reaction such as esterification and ester hydrolysis reaction, conversion can be increased far beyond chemical equilibrium conversion due to the continuous removal of reaction product from reactive zone. This may lead to an enormous reduction of capital and investment cost for manufacturing processes involving healthy initial investment and may be important for sustainable development due to lower consumption of resources. Due to complex interaction between chemical reaction and separation the performance of the reactive distillation column is influenced by several parameter like and vocation of reactive and non reactive column section, reflux ratio, feed location throughput.

ALTERNATIVE FUEL PRODUCTION OF ETHYL ALCOHOL FROM POTATO WASTE USED AS ALTERNATIVE FUEL ETHANOL- THE FUEL OF FUTURE
Dhananjay P. Tayade1, Ashwini D2. Asutkar, Ritu Kumari3 1,2 B.Tech Chemical Engineering Third Year 1,2 University Department Of Chemical Technology NMU, Jalgaon 3 Jdiet, Yavatmal
Abstract Due to continuous increase in price of fuels, there is a need of alternative fuels which are more efficient and cheaper cost. This is accomplished by the production Ethanol, is a "clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic, agreeable odour " and taste, This is the drinkable alcohol, the active ingredient in beer, wine and spirits. Ethanol is made by fermenting and then distilling starch or sugar crops such as sugarcane, maize, sorghum, and wheat and other grains, or even cornstalks, fruit and vegetable waste Ethanol fermented from renewable sources for fuel or fuel additives are known as bioethanol. Additionally, the ethanol from biomass-based waste materials is considered as bioethanol. Currently, there is a growing interest for ecologically sustainable bio-fuels. Bio ethanol production from potatoes is based on the utilization of waste potatoes. Waste potatoes are produced from 5-20 % of crops as by-products in potato cultivation. HOW DOES IT WORK? Ethanol is a very high octane fuel, replacing lead as an octane enhancer in gasoline .Fuels that burn too quickly makes the engine knock. The higher the octane rating, the slower the fuel burns, and the less likely the engine will knock. When ethanol is blended with gasoline, the octane rating of petrol goes up by three full points, without using harmful additives. Adding ethanol to gasoline oxygenates the fuel adding oxygen to the fuel mixture so that it burns more completely and reduces polluting emissions such as carbon monoxide. In this project or paper we tried to produce ethyl alcohol from a potato waste, at a laboratory scale it was successful and also check all the parameters like pH, pressure, temperature, purity of product. The waste or bi-product from this process can be further used in polymer or in paper and pulp industries. we had performed this project in final year (Diploma In Chemical Engg). From this project or paper we have conclude that the the ethanol is used as a alternative fuel and says that ETHANOL- THE FUEL OF FUTURE.

The demand for natural gas and other energy sources is rapidly increasing as world population grows, the standard of living rises, and the world economy expands. While there are many alternative fuels coal, wind, solar, water, biomass fuels, and most importantly, conservation and more efficient use of energy these, by themselves, will not meet the demand for power in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the demand for natural gas will continue to rise. Where natural gas is compassion of gas in which the concentration of H2S will higher upto harmful condition so introducing the first high-pressure ShellPaques/THIOPAQ unit to removal of deadly gas H2S from the natural gas. H2S in the sweet gas is guaranteed to be 4 ppm(v), while the total design amount of sulfur to be removed per day is approximately 1 ton. Sulfur concentrations were typically 4ppm(v) H2S or lower in the treated gas and the H2S removal efficiency was always above 99.5%. and this is a biological process for removing H2S from (high pressure) natural gas, synthesis gas and refinery gas streams.

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES AND ITS APPLICATION IN ANTIFOULING COATINGS
Hemant A. Bhirud*, Prof. Dr. R. D. Kulkarni Dept. of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon Abstract Zinc oxides nanoparticles have been paid more attention for their distinctive properties. They are extensively used for solar energy conversion, catalysis, in electronics as gas sensors, cosmetics etc. Paint industry is one of the biggest beneficiaries from zinc oxide used as pigments and formulation of antifouling coatings in marine sector. The synthesis of nano zinc oxide by different routes however was associated with difficulties of regulating particle size distribution and stabilizing this distribution. In present work there is use of solution spray process, the basis was to control the reaction at molecular level through contact of reactants (precursor and precipitant) in aqueous solution at highly atomized level through spray and use of surfactants for preventing the aggregation. Zinc oxide nanoparticles thus obtain with regulating particle size and stabilization this distribution and their utilization in antifouling formulation. Microbial growth on a wide variety of surfaces can produce phenomena such as corrosion, fouling, dirt, smells and even serious hygiene and health problems. Thus there is a great contribution of zinc oxide nanoparticles in the development of antifouling coatings. Key words: Zinc oxide nanoparticles, Solution spray process, Antifouling coating, etc.

BIODIESEL- OPTIMIZATION OF PRODUCTION COST

Manoj B. Patil, Aniket K. Joshi, Bhushan P. Desale. Department Of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon. Email-: manojpatiludct@gmail.com, bhushandesaleudct@gmail.com Abstract Petro-diesel fuel has been used as a source of energy since its discovery in early 6th century. Reserves of petroleum have been extracted since then and these reserves were and still are not renewable. Increasing fuel demand worldwide, rapid rise of crude oil price, limited reserve and its effect on environment push scientists to look for a clean and renewable fuel in replacement of petroleum based fuel. With environmental and energy source concerns on rise, using agricultural fats and oil as fuel in diesel engine has captured attention. Biodiesel is clean alternative burning fuel used for vehicles or for different purpose by blending with various fraction of biodiesel in diesel fuel like e.g. B5, B20 Biodiesel production from algae is a promising technique. Microalgae have the potential to produce 5,000 15,000 gallons of biodiesel per acre per year, biodiesel from ethanol. The biodiesel fuel has little more cost than traditional with different reasons like less demand, availability feedstock, the biodiesel produced is more viscous & not used for vehicles the decreasing of viscosity increases the overall cost & usage of different techniques for production increases the overall costs of production. The optimization of cost is done by the proper utilization of the byproduct produce, using the efficient homemade techniques for production, production from waste oil & maintaining the viscosity. The cost of biodiesel may be optimized by increasing the demand of biodiesel & it will be increased by the availability of feedstock, the availability increases by educating people toward usage of biodiesel. The biodiesel is environmentally friendly fuel compared to traditional. Keywords:- Biodiesel, Overall Cost, Home Made Techniques, Optimization.

SELF HEALING POLYMER COMPOSITES

Miss Ashwin Pande, Miss Sonali Marotkar, Mr. Nikhil Akhilesh Sinha. Department of Chemical Engineering, Shri Shivaji College of Engineering & Technology, Babhulgaon (Jh.), Dist. AKOLA. Email ID- ashwinipande31@gmail.com , nikhilasinha@gmail.com Abstract Self-healing materials are a class of smart materials that have the structurally incorporated ability to repair damage caused by mechanical usage over time. The inspiration comes from biological systems, which have the ability to heal after being wounded. Initiation of cracks and other types of damage on a microscopic level has been shown to change thermal, electrical, and acoustical properties, and eventually lead to whole scale failure of the material. Polymers and polymer composites have been widely used in tremendous engineering fields because of their advantages including light weight, good processibility, chemical stability in any atmospheric conditions, etc. However, long-term durability and reliability of polymeric materials are still problematic when they serve for structural application. Exposure to harsh environment would easily lead to degradations of polymeric components. Comparatively, micro cracking is one of the fatal deteriorations generated in service, which would bring about catastrophic failure of the materials and hence significantly shorten lifetimes of the structures.

TWISTED TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER TECHNOLOGY

Mr. Harshal M. Chumble, Mr.Niraj S. Nemade B.E (Chem Engg.) S.S.B.T.S C.O.E.T, Bambhori, Jalgaon Email- hchumble@yahoo.com Abstract Over 85% of all new heat exchanger applications in oil refining, chemical, petrochemical, and power generation are accommodated through the use of conventional shell and tube type heat exchangers. The fundamental basis for this statistic is shell and tube technology is a cost effective, proven solution for a wide variety of heat transfer requirements. However, there are limitations associated with the technology which include inefficient usage of shell side pressure drop, dead or low flow zones around the baffles where fouling and corrosion can occur, and flow induced tube vibration, which can ultimately result in equipment failure. This paper presents a recent innovation and development of a new technology, known as Twisted Tube technology, which has been able to overcome the limitations of the conventional technology, and in addition, provide superior overall heat transfer coefficients through tube side enhancement. This paper compares the construction, performance, and economics of Twisted Tube exchangers against conventional designs for various materials of construction including reactive metals. Conventional TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association) type shell and tube type heat exchangers consist of a number of round tubes attached to a tube sheet inside a cylindrical vessel, with tube sizes, tube lengths, and shell diameters varying depending on the requirements of the application. Heat transfer surface areas can vary from a few square feet to over 25,000 square feet. The Twisted Tube heat exchanger originated in Eastern Europe and became commercially available in Scandinavia in the mid 1980s. It was developed primarily to overcome the limitations inherent with conventional shell and tube technology.

FUTURE FUEL WOOD GAS

Mr.pratik Dhokane, Eshwar Dandale Final year Diploma student Govt.Poly.Yavatmal dhokane_pratik@yahoo.com, eshwar.dandale570@gmail.com Abstract Increasing population, deforestation and changing climatic conditions have led to a decline in the availability of fuel wood in the India. The purpose of this for the fabrication, installation, and operation of a biomass gasifier unit (i.e., a 'producer gas' generator, also called a "wood gas' generator) that is capable of providing emergency fuel for vehicles, such as tractors and trucks, in the event that normal petroleum sources were severely disrupted for an extended period of time. These instructions have been prepared as a manual for use by any machine that is reasonably proficient in metal fabrication or engine repair. The process is based on incomplete combustion of wood: due to lack of air, gases are created: carbon monoxide they found a new use here due to their adhesiveness. In the filters, gas is purified (dust and other impurities are removed) and cooled from 250-300oC to 25-30oC cool gas is easier to mix with air, the main fuels, hydrogen and methane. Where the gas mixture mixes with air in a 1:1 ratio and like the gasoline fumes from the carburetor, which is removed, starts the engine. The gas is not pressurized since the whole process is taking part in a vacuum environment.

Abstract Pectinases are a big group of enzymes that break down pectic polysaccharides of plant tissues into simpler molecules like galacturonic acids. Since pectic substances are a very complex macromolecule group, various pectinolytic enzymes are required to degrade it completely. Pectinases are one of the most widely distributed enzymes in bacteria, fungi and plants. Pectinase production occupies about 10% of the overall manufacturing of enzyme preparations. Pectinolytic enzymes are widely used in the food industry for juice and wine production. This review describes the microbial pectinase production, characterization, and the industrial application of this enzyme.

Piyush Kapse, Swapnil Bhoyar, Dinesh Bhoyar, T.D. Deshpande University Department of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon-425001 India. Abstract Out of various water pollutants, organic pollutants, VOCS & insecticides are todays major concerns due to their growing use in every sector like agriculture, industrial and domestic and their adverse effects on nature and human being. It is therefore necessary to reduce or eliminate organic pollutants from water and wastewater. Primary removal methods include screening, sedimentation, floatation, neutralization, activated carbon treatment. In the present investigation, the primary objective was to study kinetics of isothermal adsorptive removal of phenol (organic pollutant) from aqueous phase on commercial (GAC) and surface modified activated carbon. The activated carbon was selected because it is simple, easily available, selective, low cost etc. A wide range of phenol concentration i.e. from 500 ppm and 1000 ppm was chosen for the study. Kinetics of adsorption was presented for three different modes like Stagnant, stirring and flow conditions. A novel packed bed reactor PWPBR was fabricated using plastic waste material (empty gum bottle) to study hydrodynamics and non-ideality in the reactor performance. Effects of various operating conditions such as type and %age of loading of transition metal (Fe, Ni, Al) reactor type, flow rate, weight of adsorbent etc. on phenol removal were studied. The amounts of phenol adsorbed were determined by breakthrough analysis. The characterization of GAC and surface modified GAC were performed using BET analyzer. It was found that the removal efficiency and amount of phenol adsorbed increased with order flow conditions>stirring>stagnant. Fe loading greater than 10% showed maximum efficiency for isothermal phenol removal in maximum cases. Keywords: Adsorption, activated carbon, PW-PBR, BET analysis, removal efficiency, %loading.

CARBON SEQUESTRATION
Pradhnyashree Kose, Shweta Chaudhari Pravara Rural Engineering College, Loni. Abstract Concern about global climate change has led to efforts to find a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Permanently sequestering or storing carbon dioxide thousands of feet underground in a semiliquid state is one possible solution that shows promise. Small-scale research is a very important step in testing the viability of carbon sequestration as a long-term solution. The MRCSP currently hosts three geologic field tests. More than 20 such tests are being undertaken nationwide. About 3,000 tons of CO2 will be injected over the course of several months. This Concern about global climate change has led to efforts to find a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The term "carbon sequestration" refers to the sequence of processes whereby CO2 emitted from large-scale CO2 emission sources is separated, recovered, and stored under the ground or at sea. More specifically, the exhaust gas (mainly from combustion) from largescale CO2 emission sources such as power plants and steel mills first undergoes a process of separation and recovery exclusively for CO2 utilizing chemical reactions or the properties of CO2. This is followed by transportation to the storage site by pipeline or tanker (the latter requiring liquefaction). The sequestration is completed with the forced injection of the transported CO2 into the ground or in the sea. Recent findings show that the amount of organic carbon stored in high-latitude permafrost regions has been greatly underestimated. While concerns are rising that thawing permafrost and resultant CO2 and methane emissions are a positive feedback mechanism at times of anthropogenic global warming, the potential role of permafrost carbon dynamics on glacial-interglacial timescales has received little attention.

IN SILICO ANALYSIS AND 3D MODELLING OF PROTEINS FOUND IN CALOTROPIS SPP

Swapnali M. Gajare1, Mohini Barhate2, Mayuri Kale1 1 Department of Biotechnology, Moolji Jaitha College, Jalgaon 2 Department of Biotechnology, G.G. Khadse College, Muktainagar swpnaligajare81@rediffmail.com Abstract
An in silico technique was initiated to characterize the properties and structure of the protein. The Calotropis procera proteins analyzed in the study shows that these are linear proteins .Tools used for in silico analysis are expasy tools such as Protparam for primary analysis, TCoffee for phylogenetic study, PSIpred secondary structure prediction, Cn3D 3D structure. 3D modelling of proteins are also done. Most of the studied proteins have half life 30 hours in vitro assay in mammalian reticulocytes. In the present study eight proteins from the plant Calotropis procera are investigated for in silico analysis. Out of which four proteins are from expansin family. Expansins proteins characteristically cause wall stress relaxation and irreversible wall extension. Expansins are also expressed in ripening fruit where they function in fruit softening, and in grass pollen where they loosen stigmatic cell walls and aid pollen tube penetration of the stigmain germinating seeds for cell wall disassembly, in floral organs for their patterning, in developing nitrogen-fixing nodules in legumes, in abscissing leaves, in parasitic plants, and in resurrection plants during their rehydration. Expansin proteins have MW of ~2528 kDa. The peptidic sequence of an expansin consists a signal peptide of around 2030 amino acids at the N-terminal end, the putative catalytic domain, a His-Phe-Asp (HFD) motif in central region and the C-terminal putative cellulose-binding domain with conserved Trp (tryptophan) residues. Expression of alpha expansin genes may be regulated by auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin or ethylene, show a transcription induction by submergence, where hypoxia and submergence increase -expansin mRNA levels.

FLARING REDUCTION IN THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES

Mr. Swapnil Ashok Ghungrud, Prof. G. S. Zamre Department of Chemical Engineering College of Engineering and Technology, Babhulgaon(Jh.), Akola-444104 e-mail:- swapnil.ghungrud@gmail.com Abstract Flaring is a combustion process used to dispose of large volumes of combustible gases including natural gases (sweet gas, sour gas, acid gas or other hydrocarbon vapor) through a vertical stack. Facilities in the oil and gas industry may routinely flare small volumes of natural gas that are technically difficult and uneconomic to conserve. Flaring is also an important safety measure, used to safely dispose of natural gas that would otherwise pose a hazard to workers, nearby residents and facility equipment during non-routine occurrences like emergencies, process upsets, equipment failure and power failure conditions . The burning of valuable gases with the help of additional energy resources in flare stacks and the destruction of valuable energy resources remain widespread in the world. World gross production of natural gas rose 3.7% in one year ( in 2007 it was 3,717.9 bcm to 3,854.4 bcm in 2008) . At the same time flaring losses again increased in 2008, going to almost 134 bcm, an annual rise of 4.6%, and now represent 3.5% of the total volume produced. More gas is flared in Nigeria than anywhere else in the world. The gas industry statistics publisher, Cedigaz, indicates that Nigeria accounted for 19.79% of global flaring in 2001, more than the second ( Iran ) and third ( Indonesia ) countries combined. Incessant demand in energy led to rise in oil and gas production and increased unusual flaring at various operations. The flaring of gases generates various harmful organic chemicals, NOx, SO2 and CO, CO2. Environmental pollution, global warming and climate change issues emerged from the increased flaring. In order to reduce CO2 emission GGFR has supported at least seven demonstration projects to obtain carbon credits from flaring reduction projects in major flaring countries. It is going to be necessary for all stakeholders to step up efforts if flaring reduction is to have a higher impact. If all major contributors of gas flaring work together and follow flare minimization either by recovery or by reduction, this will drive the world towards zero flaring worlds.

Ujjwal R. Gedam, Prasant meshram, Akash gayakwad 9673399286, 9890488500 Abstract Neem oil extraction from Neem seeds (*Azadirachta indica A. Juss*) using hexane with the help of soxhlet apparatus is presented. Effects Neem seeds are extracted using hexane solvent with ratio of neem seed powder weight to solvent volume of 1:5. Here we have studied the yield of oil. Based on the analysis, showed that decreasing particle size increases the yield of oil and increase in temperature increases the yield of oil. Values of Density, flash point, saponification value of oil are found in oil testing. We used mass transfer kinetic model to represent our project data because there is no reaction between the Neem oil with solvent hexane. Neem oil as an organic material contains several organic compounds such as nimbin, nimbidin, salannin, etc. Since Neem oil is an organic material, it readily dissolved in organic solvents like hexane. Here, the mechanism control for extraction of Neem oil in hexane is mass transfer, and we propose mass transfer kinetic model to represent the yield data of Neem oil extraction. *Keywords: * Oil, Neem, Extraction, Soxhlet Apparatus.

BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC FROM CORN STARCH

Abhijeet Bhoyar, Prophesar Kamdi, Abhishek Umale. Third year chemical engg. University Department of chemical Technology, NMU, Jalgaon. Abstract Our whole world seem to be wrapped in plastic. Plastics are used almost everywhere like shopping bags, kitchenware, automobile industry, agriculture mulch etc, and also find various medical applications. Traditional plastics are manufactured from non-renewable resources like oil, coal and natural gas which will get depleted in near future. It is estimated that world -wide production of petroleum based plastic is around 100 million tonnes annually and 7 million barrels of petroleum are required per day to produce that plastic. That is why the need arrived to produce biodegradable and echo-friendly plastic which can easily manufacture from natural sources and also it should not be hazardous to environment. For the past several years, the producers of raw agricultural commodities have suffered from low prices and surpluses because of reduced demand and increase world supplies. Recently efforts have been made to reverse the trend by converting agriculture commodities into value added product. For eg.corn was grown in 1970s mainly for livestock feed but today it is being used increasingly to produce high fructose corn syrup, fuel alcohol and other non food products. So the both were favourable to the invention of biodegradable plastic from corn starch .the process mainly consisting of the conversion of raw corn to starch first, then this corn starch is fermented with the help of appropriate enzymes reaction yielding the lactic acid ,lactic acid is produced commercially by the fermentation of glucose, molasses of cheese whey with homofermentative lactic acid bacteria .Some of the strains like Rhizopus oryzae in surface culture converted D glucose in a chemically defined medium to a large amount of L(+)- lactic acid .the conversion of lactic acid to the polylactic acid is taking place via lactide through polycondensation reaction. The biodegradable plastic is provided with a function and performance as ordinary plastic used. The biodegradable plastic can be converted into useful items by conventional processing technique like Thermoforming.

ETHANOL PRODUCTION FROM LIGNOCELLULOSE: A CHALLENGE FOR METABOLIC ENGINEERING

Ajinkya.A.Shembekar, Datta.B.Suryavanshi 3rd Year Chemical engineering Anuradha Engineering College, Chikhli, Dist: Buldhana (M.S) Email: shembekarajinkya@yahoo.com, dattasuryavanshi9@gmail.com Abstract With the continuously increasing population and rapid industrial development, there is a need for environmentally sustainable energy sources. Bioethanol is an attractive sustainable energy source to fuel transportation (ethanol from biomass).Bioethanol can contribute to a cleaner environment and with the implementation of environmental protection laws in many countries; demand for this fuel is increasing. Current ethanol production (so called first generation) using crops such as sugarcane, corn and wheat is well established. Whereas second generation ethanol production utilizes cheaper and non-food feed stocks like lignocelluloses or municipal solid waste which could make ethanol more competitive to fossil fuels. Lignocellulosic biomass has been recognized as promising resource for the production of Bioethanol due to its abundance, low cost and non-competitiveness with foodstuffs, and is having high contents as cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. There are various physical, chemical and biological methods for production of Bioethanol from lignose cellulose followed by fermentation of sugar obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. Production of ethanol from lignocelluloses requires a more complex upstream process compared to first generation ethanol production. While there are ongoing efforts to further enhance properties and delignification with optimization of underlying process of production or saccharification process using bio-technology. The positive result of substrate Lantana camara was recently found in India. Lantana c amara is a non-edible lignocellulosic biomass growing widely throughout India. Hence second ethanol production generation is the need of the hour. Keywords:Lignocellulose, pretreatment,delignification,saccharification,optimization,Lantana camara

WASTEWATER TREATMENT IN MINING AND METALLURGICAL INDUSTRIES WITH THE AID OF FLOATATION: A NOVEL TECHNIQUE
Akash Majumder, Amit Gadhekar, Akshay Tidke, B. Tech. (3rd year) Department of Chemical Engineering, Anuradha Engineering College (AEC), Chikhli-443201, Dist: Buldana, Maharashtra E-mail: aakash.arka@gmail.com, Phone: 09860025613 Abstract The minerals and metallurgy industries face one of the most serious environmental issues as regards the treatment of aqueous or oily effluents. The major pollutants that come of out of these industries include residual reagents, powders, chemicals, metal ions, oils, organic and some may be valuable (Au, Pt, Ag). The use of flotation has emerged as one of the key options due to the high throughput of modern equipment, low sludge generation and the high efficiency of the separation schemes already available. This technology offers, in most cases, advantages over settling, filtration, precipitation, or adsorption onto natural and synthetic adsorbents. The targets are the removal of oils (emulsified or not), ions (heavy metals and anions) and the reuse or recirculation of the process waters. Advantages include better treated water quality, rapid start up, high rate operation, and a thicker sludge. New applications are found in the mining vehicles washing water treatment and reuse, AMD (acid mining drainage) neutralization and high rate solids/water separation by flotation with microbubbles. It is concluded that this process will be soon incorporated as a technology in the minerals industry to treat these wastewaters and, when possible, to recycle process water and materials. In the present communication, the application of flotation in environmental applications in the context of minerals and metallurgy industries is discussed at length. Examples of promising emerging techniques and devices are reported and some recent advances in the treatment of heavy metal containing waters and emulsified oil wastes are discussed.

ABSTRACT
In natural convection applications, the components used for cooling may represent a significant portion of the overall weight of the system. Consequently, advanced materials are of interest in such applications, as they may substantially reduce the total size and the weight of the system. The APEX 2000, an Advanced Process Enhancement exchanger, utilizes proven FBHX Technology to provide a cost-effective and timely solution to severe heat exchanger fouling problems. Many of these advanced materials have anisotropic thermo physical properties, hence the control of thermal conductivity is crucial. This work is motivated to address the lack of understanding of the use of anisotropic advanced materials in natural convection environments. Numerical simulations are carried out to test the performance of heat sinks made of such materials and comparisons are made with the heat sinks of traditional engineering materials under the same conditions. The results demonstrate that the total weight of the system may be reduced drastically with the use of advanced materials relative to the most commonly used heat sink materials at the same thermal performance. Total resistance, conduction and convection resistances, and a performance related FOM values for each heat sink are presented. It is shown that pyrolytic graphite based heat sinks show the best thermal performance, while Carbon- foam heat sinks offer tremendous performance due to the material's low density. IF you are facing severe heat exchanger fouling problems . And have made the decision to Take Action to Eliminating Fouling, you may want to consider one of the APEX 2000 Test Units which are available on a lease basis. These short term, low budget test units are offered to provide for an on-site evaluation of a specific application of the FBHX Technology. Typical Applications among 50 Installations in Europe, the U.S., the U.K. and Iceland.

Abstract
Green Chemistry is also named as Sustainable Chemistry. It is a philosophy of chemical research and engineering. It encourages the design of products and processes, reduces the use and generation of hazardous substances. The concept of Green Chemistry was proposed by Paul Anestas in year 1994. Green Chemistry encourages the redesign of existing industrial processes that reduce or eliminate the generation of hazardous byproducts. Chemists and Chemical engineers use the knowledge and practices in chemistry to design chemical products and chemical processes to serve the needs and wishes of society by concerning the laws of health and the environment. The purpose of these laws is to promote the principles of Green Chemistry and Engineering to reduce the impact of chemical waste on environment. To illustrate, we consider here some features of polylactic-acid production and the significant advantages of a green polymer relative to other polymers made from petroleum. It is almost impossible to get 100% conversion in any process as waste materials are also produced. These waste materials are always disposed in environment. The animal and human populations are exposed to these waste materials which may be harmful to health or may lead to environmental degradation. Green Chemistry and Engineering provide a way to overcome environmental degradation. The main goal of chemical profession is to manufacture chemical products for society. Therefore it is essential that these products and their method of manufacturing will minimize harm to the environment. How Green Chemistry is essential for chemists and chemical engineers is discussed in this article. Keywords: Green Chemistry, Hazardous substances, pollution, environmental degradation.

College of Engineering a 9952775747, amrutha2812@gmail.com b 9094612060, anushavbabu@gmail.com Abstract Nanotechnology is poised to play a significant role in the development of clean, less expensive energy. The potential of nanotechnology for solving some of todays greatest energy challenges is vast. The recovery of unconventional sources of natural gas is yet another potential application of nanotechnology. Unconventional sources of natural gas include tight sandstones, shale gas, and coal bed methane. Nanotechnology applications may prove useful in accessing or exploiting these unconventional natural gas sources. The interaction of nanoparticles and mineral grains or fluid interfaces in the reservoir is a new field of research. We can inject a certain volume of nanoparticles with specific characteristics into a well and by analyzing the nanoparticle concentration from an observation well we learn about the geology and reservoir characteristics. In this case, the nanoparticles act as tracers. Ferromagnetic nanoparticles can be injected into the well bore prior to petrophysical well logging. The injected particles enhance well-log readings and yield better measurements about the reservoir properties. Because of their large surface area to volume ratio, new nanoparticle-surfaced proppants are being developed that could enhance the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing treatments. Keywords: Nanotechnology, recovery of shale gas, accessing natural gas sources, analysisng the reservoir, ferromagnetic nanoparticles, nanoparticle tracers.

They can easily be implemented as heat exchangers inside sorption and vapour-compression heat pumps, refrigerators and other types of heat transfer devices. Their heat transfer coefficient in the evaporator and condenser zones is 103 105 W/m2 K, heat pipe thermal resistance is 0.010.03 K/W, therefore leading to smaller area and mass of heat exchangers. Miniature and micro heat pipes are welcomed for electronic components cooling and space two-phase thermal control systems. Loop heat pipes, pulsating heat pipes and sorption heat pipes are the novelty for modern heat exchangers. Heat pipe air preheaters are used in thermal power plants to preheat the secondaryprimary air required for combustion of fuel in the boiler using the energy available in exhaust gases. Heat pipe solar collectors are promising for domestic use. This paper reviews mainly heat pipe developments in the Former Soviet Union Countries. Some new results obtained in USA and Europe are also included.

NANOPARTICLE ENHANCED IONIC LIQUIDS APPLICATION OF NANOTECHNOLOGY TO HEAT TRANSFER

Mr. Ganesh Gupta *a, Miss. Urvashi Bhivgadeb Third Year (Chemical) Jawaharlal Darda Institute of Engineering and Technology, Yavatmal ganeshgupta361@gmail.com, 9028381092 Abstract In the past, the values of ionic liquids thermophysical properties were found to have significant effect on the design of physico-chemical processing and reaction units by influencing directly the design parameters and performance of equipments. The influence of actual errors in the thermophysical properties of ionic liquids can render any future design as not working or excessively costing. Nanoparticle Enhanced Ionic Liquids (NEILs) are a new and innovative class of heat transfer fluids which exhibit fascinating thermo physical properties compared to their base ionic liquids. NEILs formed by the dispersion of nanometer sized solid particles, rods or tubes for example Single-walled nanotubes (SWCNTs), multiwalled nanotubes (MWCNTs) and fullerenes (C60, C80, etc.), opens in traditional ionic liquid. This paper deals with analysis of the most important thermal properties for an optimal technological design of process plants, namely thermal conductivity and heat capacity of ionic liquids and ionanofluids, from experimental data to molecular modelling of heat transfer and storage in these types of systems. Ionic liquids based on Cnmim cations and (CF3SO2)2N, BF4, PF6 anions are used to illustrate the most important behaviours Results on thermal conductivity and heat capacity of ionanofluids as well as the estimation of heat transfer areas for ionanofluids and ionic liquids in a model shell and tube heat exchanger reveal that ionanofluids possess superior thermal conductivity ranging from 2 to 35%, and heat capacity and require considerably less heat transfer areas as compared to those of their base ionic liquids. Based on experimental results, it is concluded that Nanoparticle Enhanced Ionic Liquids are novel class of fluids which shows great potential for advanced heat transfer applications.

GREEN CHEMISTRY AND ENGINEERING

Kalyani Y. Gaidhani, Archana D. Impal S.E. Chemical K.K.Wagh Institute of Engineering Education and Research Abstract Green Chemistry is a philosophy of chemical research and engineering, that encourages the design of products and processes that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances. In 1990 the Pollution Prevention Act was passed in the United States. This act helped to create a modern operation for dealing with pollution in an original and innovative way. It aims to avoid problems before they happen. As a chemical philosophy, green chemistry applies to organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, and even to physical chemistry. While green chemistry seems to focus on industrial applications, it does apply to any chemistry choice. The term green chemistry was coined first by Paul Anastas in 1991.Paul Anastas, then of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and John C. Warner developed 12 principals of green chemistry, which help to explain what the term means in practice. The principals cover the concepts as: # The design of processes to maximize the amount of raw material that ends up in the product # The use of safe, environment-benign substances, including solvents, whenever possible # The design of energy efficient processes # The best form of waste disposal: not to create it in the first place. In this Paper we'll be discussing the first principal of green chemistry i.e. It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it is formed. Attempts are being made not to only quantify the greenness of chemical process but also to factor in other variables such as chemical yield, the price of reaction components, safety in handling chemicals, hardware demands, energy profile and ease of product workup and purification. Green chemistry is increasingly seen as a powerful tool that researchers must use to evaluate the environmental impact of nanotechnology.

INTRODUCTION TO FUEL CELL AND HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGY

Kartik Rajkumar Raut, Atul Raut Final year Diploma student Govt. Poly. Yavatmal kartikraut25@gmail.com Abstract Word moves on energy. A fluctuation in supply and price of energy imparts bad effect. Like air, water and food, man needs energy in different forms. Energy has always played an important role in human and economic development and in society well-being. Without the heat and electricity from fuel combustion, economic activity should be limited and restrained. Modern Society uses more and more energy for industry, services, homes and transport .This is only true for oil, which has become the most traded commodity and part of economical growth is linked to its price. Fuel is a substance burned as a source of heat or power. The heat is derived from the combustion process in which carbon and hydrogen in the fuel substance combine with oxygen and release heat .The provision of energy as heat or power in either mechanical or electrical form is the major reason for burning fuel. Mostly we used non-renewable energy source for electricity generation and other purposes.This fuel create carbon dioxide and various toxic gases which is harmful to the our environment as well as it is limited on the earth so we would have to find out clean fuel for future i.e hydrofuel. This seminar related to fuel cell and hydrogen technology.This seminar include introduction to fuel cell, basic structure of fuel cell, reforming of hydrogen, renewable energy system, biological method for hydrogen production.It also contain benefit and obstacle to the success of fuel cell and the development of hydrogen based economy.

The catalysts used in this process can be either inorganic or organic type giving rise to 'inorganic fuel cells' or 'biochemical fuel cells', respectively. Biochemical fuel cells use either microorganism or enzymes as active components to carry out electrochemical reactions. The efficiency of such a device theoretically can be as high as 90%. The difficulty in attaining these values arises due to sluggishness of electron transfer from active site to conducting electrode. This can be overcome by using mediators or by immobilizing active components on conducting electrode. We have immobilized fad-glucose oxidize on a graphite electrode using a semiconducting chain as a bridge. At the present stage of development, such a device tacks high current densities, which is essential for commercial power generation but Can Be used in applications such as pacemakers and glucose sensors.

STEVIA: PROSPECTS AS AN EMERGING NATURAL SWEETENER

Ku. Mrunmayee Arunrao Chandurkar, Mr. Vishwas Gangadharji Katekhaye Department of Chemical Engineering College of Engineering and Technology, Babhulgaon(Jh.), Akola-444104 e-mail:- chandurkarmrunmayee@gmail.comm, vishwaskatekhaye@gmail.com Abstract In the last couple of decades, growing concern about health and life quality has encouraged people to exercise, eat healthy food and decrease the consumption of food rich in sugar, salt and fat. Omission of added sucrose in foods increases the relative proportion of polymeric carbohydrates that may have beneficial effect for a balanced food intake as well as for human health. In addition, there has been an increase in the demand by consumers for food with functional properties. Changes in eating habits and lifestyle are mainly due to incessant search for health. In the past, food science was concerned with the development of food for human survival, a goal that was substituted by the concept of production of quality food. More recently, the main concept has become to use food as a means of promoting health and welfare, while reducing the risk of disease . The food industry has responded to this demand and as a consequence, there has been a fast growing increase in diet foods and beverages available to consumers in many markets of the world. With increased consumer interest in reducing sugar intake, food products made with sweeteners rather than the sugar have become popular. Sweeteners are alternative substances to sugars, which give food a sweet taste and are used to partially or totally replace sucrose. The discovery of great number of sweeteners during the last decade has triggered the development of sugar free products, particularly for diabetic, obese people and for dietetic purpose. Sweeteners such as nutritive (Polyols) and nonnutritive/ intense sweeteners (Artificial and natural) have become alternatives to replace sucrose and have been widely used in various food products. Natural sweeteners are mainly plant constituents. Plants have contributed to about 75 highly sweet compounds. These sweet compounds fall mainly within the terpenoid, flavonoid and protein compound classes, although altogether nine districts structural groups of potently sweet molecules have been derived from plants. So far, highly sweet compounds have not been documented as these occurred in lower plants, insects or native organisms and the taxonomic distribution of plants, known to biosynthesize highly sweet compounds, is random within the angiosperm super order as classified according to Dahlgren. Several highly sweet plant constituents are used commercially as sucrose substitutes in one or more countries. The plant secondary metabolites of most widespread interest in this regard are Steviol glycosides i.e. Stevioside and Rebaudioside A, constituents of the Stevia rebaudiana bertoni. These two products, made from S. rebaudiana are widely available in Japan, with Stevioside approved as a sweetener in Brazil and having limited use in Korea too. In India, the use of artificial sweeteners in food products has not been very common so far when compared with the majority of western countries. However, over the past decade, there has been a steady increase in many Indian retail foods that are labeled as diet and /or light. Contrary to the situation on the late 1980s when only people with health problems (e.g. diabetes or high Department of Chemical Technology, North Maharshtra University, Jalgaon Page 147
Recent Advances in Chemical Engineering- RACE 2012 blood cholesterol) used to buy these products, many Indians have now started to consume low calorie foods and are eating less sugar and fat as part of their main diet. Given the reasonably sound track record of plant constituents and particularly S.rebaudiana (Stevioside glycoside) as Intense sweetening agents and because of the great public demand for natural food ingredients, particularly for diabetic and dietetic applications, FSDU, PFA has worked on the prospects of Steviol glycosides as sugar substitute. This comprehensive document on S.rebaudiana have included aspects for legal regulations of various countries, marketing and economic issues, status of stevia in India, commercial extraction, practical application of Stevioside in foods and beverages stability and Organoleptic studies , estimation of Stevioside when present in food or other samples. As well as botanical field and literature studies, chemistry, toxicological, mutagenicity, pharmacological properties, electrophysiological and behavioral methods for natural sweetener detection using Mongolian Gerbil and Cariogenicity study on Stevioside and Rebaudiana A.

STUDY OF ADSORPTION CAPACITY OF FLY ASH FOR REMOVAL OF LIGNIN

Mahajan Lomesh S., Dr. K. S. Wani and Dr. M. Husain S.S.B.T.SS, C.O.E.I.T, Bambhori, Jalgaon Contact: mahajan_ls@rediffmail.com, Contact no.9673866189 Abstract In the 21st Century as the population has grown to a greater extent, there is a rise in the number of paper mills in the market. Todays industrial environment is competitive, it is well known fact that paper mill wastes like lignin causing enormous destruction and producing negative impacts on national economics. Though it is almost impossible to fully recoup the damage caused by lignin, it is possible to minimize the potential risks. Lignin is main factor of environment pollution. The residue from combustion of pulverized coal that is waste by product from thermal power station is known as fly ash, (pozzolana). Although it is not a cementitous, it combines with lime to form a material having cementing properties. The aim of this project is to study the removal of lignin from paper mill wastes using fly ash as an adsorbent and to compare the suitability of these two materials with activated charcoal. The use of such technique would result in a number of benefits not only it would provide either controlling lignin waste strength but it will also provide valuable empirical data for the improvement of treatment on lignin and further protect environment with the use of unproductive waste fly ash. Nowadays many paper industries are faced with the problem of wastewaters being badly biodegradable because of tannins, lignin etc. removal of lignin by fly ash may prove as an appropriate method for the destruction of very complex, multi-dimensional, and permanent compounds and lignin. This project studies the removal of lignin water as a model case with the aim of removal of lignin and enhancing water biodegradability also separated turbid lignin. The discharge of highly colored effluents by Kraft pulp and paper mills is a major environmental concern. A process utilizing fly ash to treat Kraft effluents has developed in this study.

Mis. Sweta S. Nichat, Mr. Ravindra K. Bajad Department of Chemical Engineering, Shree Shivaji Education Society Amravatis College Of Engineering & Technology, Babhulgaon, Akola. Email_ID:- sweta.nichat@yahoo.co.in Abstract Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) can replace the activated sludge process and the final clarification step in municipal wastewater treatment. Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology, which combines biological-activated sludge process and membrane filtration has became more popular, abundant, and accepted in recent years for the treatment of many types of wastewaters, whereas the conventional activated sludge (CAS) process cannot cope with either composition of wastewater or fluctuations of wastewater flow rate. MBR technology is also used in cases where demand on the quality of effluent exceeds the capability of CAS Along with better understanding of emerging contaminants in wastewater, their biodegradability, and with their inclusion in new regulations, MBR may become a necessary upgrade of existing. In recent years, applications of membrane separation techniques in wastewater treatment have drawn worldwide attention to researchers and engineers. The membrane bioreactor (MBR) process, which consists of an activated sludge bioreactor and a microfiltration membrane, is an emerging biotreatment technology that has demonstrated a great promise in water reuse. It has the advantage of the rapid development in membrane manufacturing and the potential to fundamentally advance biological treatment processesing technology in order to fulfill the legal requirements in wastewater treatment plants.

BAMBOO BASED BIODEGRADABLE PLASTICS

Mr.Sanyog Gawai, Mr. Irfan Manulla, Final year Diploma student Govt.Poly.Yavatmal sanyoggawai@gmail.com Abstract Past ages of human society have been called the Stone, Bronze, Copper, Iron, and Steel Ages, based on the material that was relied upon the most during that time. Today, the total volume of plastics produced worldwide has surpassed that of steel and continues to increase. Without a doubt, we have entered the Age of Plastics. The plastics are made using non-renewable products such as petroleum products etc. And the use of plastics continues to grow, raising the important question: how can we balance convenient living with concern for ecology? There is a new generation of biodegradable plastics emerging, bioplastics. The plastics that are biodegradable are made mostly or entirely from renewable sources. The non-renewable sources should be replaced by renewable sources. Bamboo based plastics are important not only because bamboo is least expensive but because its high strength, biodegradability and low cost. The biodegradable plastics can be made by using natural fibers such as jute, sisal etc.
This paper deals with what are plastics, how are they harming our earth, why biodegradable plastics, how are they processed. If society is indeed becoming more and more committed to resource conservation, environmental preservation, and sustainable technologies, biodegradable plastics will find their place in this Age of Plastics.

MANUFACTURING OF ETHANOL FROM SWITCHGRASS

Mr. Jitendra Deviputra, Mr. Nikhil Dawande, Final year Diploma student Govt. Poly. Yavatmal adeviputra@yahoo.com Abstract Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) shows potential as a sustainable herbaceous energy crop from which a renewable source of transportation fuel and for biomass-generated electricity could be derived. Switchgrass can be used as a fuel source to power ethanol plants, which results in reduced use of fossil fuels and contributes to a more positive energy balance for cellulosic ethanol. Switchgrass is a native warm-season, perennial grass indigenous to the Central and North American tall-grass prairie into Canada. The plant is an immense biomass producer that can reach heights of 10 feet or more. Its high cellulosic content makes switchgrass a candidate for ethanol production as well as a combustion fuel source for power production. A technique for regenerating switchgrass plants via tissue culture has been proven and new population of regenerated plants have been established in the field. Research on the physiology of switchgrass has shown that lowland and upland ecotypes differ in photosynthetic rate but not in respiration rate. Findings in each of these areas can contribute to development of switchgrass as a sustainable bio-energy crop.

RECENT ADVANCES IN BIOMASS GASIFIER TECHNOLOGIES

Mr. Moreshwar U. Kulkarni,a Mr.Vikas J. Bhalerao,b Mr. Swapnil V. Jagtapc B.Tech Chemical Engg, U.D.C.T., N.M.U, Jalgaon. U.D.C.T, N.M.U, Jalgaon. Email: k.moreshwar@yahoo.coma Abstract Utilization of renewable energy sources such as biomass offers environmental benefits while providing sustainable power generation for utilities and industry. It offers markets for dedicated energy crops such as switch grass, while providing needed energy for power generation, thereby offsetting or reducing the need for fossil fuels. In areas where fossil fuels are scarce and biomass fuels are available, biomass. Utilization offers alternative low cost methods for power generation. Gasification of biomass, rather than combustion, offers efficiency, environmental, and operational advantages including the ability to use the producer gas in fuel cells. The producer gas composition from this gasifier will be used in a fuel cell power plant simulation study. Biomass gasification means incomplete combustion of biomass resulting in production of combustible gases consisting of Carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrogen (H2) and traces of Methane (CH4). This mixture is called producer gas. Producer gas can be used to run internal combustion engines (both compression and spark ignition), can be used as substitute for furnace oil in direct heat applications and can be used to produce, in an economically viable way, Fuel cells convert hydrocarbon fuels to electricity at efficiencies exceeding conventional heat engine technologies while generating extremely low emissions. However under present conditions, economic factors seem to provide the strongest argument of considering gasification. In many situations where the price of petroleum fuels is high or where supplies are unreliable the biomass gasification can provide an economically viable system provided the suitable biomass feedstock is easily available.

BIO-OXIDATION A POLLUTION SOLUTION

Mr.Abhijeet Mishra, Mr.Nilesh Chaudhari Final year Diploma student Govt.Poly.Yavatmal Contact ID: sahil6125@yahoo.com, chaudharinilesh64@gmail.com
Abstract As the Environmental and health issues are taken into consideration there is a need for the development of efficient and low cost technology for controlling air pollution. One of the technology is Bio-oxidation, which is the process based on microbes that can remove both water-soluble and non-water soluble emissions from the air when it is passed through the Bio-oxidation system. Biological technology solutions are advancing as a technology of choice for odour control and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)/ Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) control of air emissions. The efficiency of the bio-oxidation system is based on the medium that is used for the growth of microorganism. There are various bioactive media such as soil , peat or compost which are used to biodegrade contaminants present in air. In these bioactive media biodegradation rates were low. To solve this problem two or more technologies are combined which includes combination of bio-trickling filter and biofilter. In bio-trickling filter synthetic media such as ceramic or plastic is used in which biodegradation rates are high and in biofilter compost media is used. Combination of these two biofilters gives better results. Bio-oxidation systems dont require fossil fuels to provide the air for bio-oxidation and there is no need to heat the device. So a company can save upto 66% on their maintenance cost and on their pollution control costs.

BIOCHAR- A WAY FORWARD TO WORLD

Mr.Nazim Quazi, Mr.Tushar Khadasne Govt.Poly.Yavatmal quazi.nazim42@gmail.com
Abstract Biochar is a fine-grained, highly porous charcoal that helps soils retain nutrients and water. Biochar is found in soils around the world as a result of vegetation fires and historic soil management practices. Intensive study of biochar-rich dark earths in the Amazon (terra preta), has led to a wider appreciation of biochars unique properties as a soil conditioner. Biochar can be an important tool to increase sustainable food production in areas with severely depleted soils, scarce organic resources, and inadequate water and chemical fertilizer supplies. Biochar also improves water quality and quantity by increasing soil retention of nutrients and agrochemicals for plant and crop utilization. More nutrients stay in the soil instead of leaching into groundwater and causing pollutionThe carbon in biochar resists degradation and can sequester carbon in soils for hundreds to thousands of years. Biochar is produced through pyrolysis or gasification processes that heat biomass in the absence (or under reduction) of air.
Not only this, but also it is a good adsorbent of CO2 thus it can be used to reduce atmospheric CO2 and thus helps in global warming control.

OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CONVERSION

Mr.Suhas D. Doke, Mr.Shrikant k.
Department of Chemical Engineering Anuradha Engineering College, Chikhli. Maharashtra, India .
Abstract Oceans and seas which cover about 70% of earth are constantly receiving solar radiation and act as the largest natural solar collector. An ocean as a collector has an enormous storage capacity Energy from the ocean is available in several forms, such as ocean thermal energy, wave energy, tidal energy. Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is new technology needed to be harnessed especially in India where the coastline is about 6000 km. Basically, the OTEC converts the thermal energy, available due to a temperature difference between the warm surface water and the cold deep water, into electricity.Power from the OTEC is renewable and Eco-friendly. An OTEC plant can operate in remote Island and in sea-shore continuously.It is very low grade solar thermal energy, so the efficiency of energy recovery is quite low. However, since the ocean thermal energy is dispersed over a large ocean surface area, it has a big potential.According to Ministry of natural and renewable resource(MNRE), the over all potential of ocean energy in the country in excess of 50,000 MW, there is an enormous opportunity to tap this renewable source of energy Keywords:-Ocean Temperature Differences, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversio Renewable Energy, Solar Energy.

ADULTERATION OF FUEL
Ms. Pooja Y. Fegade. Mr. R. S. Sirsam. University Department Of Chemical Technology, NMU, Dist.- Jalgaon-425001. Email: poojafegade@gmail.com Abstract The blending of kerosene with automotive diesel is generally practiced by oil industry worldwide as a means of adjusting the low temperature operability of the fuel. This practice is not harmful or detrimental to tailpipe emissions, provided the resulting fuel continues to meet engine manufacturers specifications. High level adulteration causes increase in emissions, as kerosene is more difficult to burn than gasoline. Adulterating of diesel with kerosene is common malpractice since kerosene is cheaper than diesel. Such adulteration results in increased pollution, reduced lifetime of components, decrease in engine or machine performance etc. There are number of techniques used to detect adulteration like use of markers, gas chromatography etc. Five fuel-adulterant mixtures in different proportions by volume were prepared and individually tested for density and kinematic viscosity. Many vehicles seldom maintained properly run on adulterated fuels. An assessment of the extent of emission represented by opacity value and fuel quality tests with varied composition of fuel (diesel) and adulterant (kerosene) proportions in diesel. The usefulness of density and kinematic viscosity tests applied to different proportional mixtures of fuel and adulterant and also to assess variation in opacity value (k-value) of emission from combustion of adulterated diesel (kerosene in diesel) consequent to the extent of adulteration. Keywords: Adulteration, gasoline, kinematic viscosity.

Wagh College of Engineering, Amrutdham, Panchavati, Nashik-3 Abstract Environmental and human safety concern has become determining factors in chemical engineering and process development. Currently, there is a strong emphasis On the development of more sustainable separation processes.In Chemical industries Distillation, Extraction, Adsorption, etc. are used as separation techniques. But there is a need of advanced separation techniques. The main goal is to be creative and blend artistic interests with scientific technology to produce compounds with enhanced properties, eventually replacing conventionally produced products. The supercritical fluid extraction has been applied only recently to sample preparation on an analytical scale. It has the potential to be environmentally friendly green processing techniques, and in some cases replacing the traditional organic solvents based extraction techniques with solvents like supercritical CO2, ethanol and water. The solvent used in this technique is a supercritical fluid, substance above its critical temperature and pressure. By controlling the level of pressure / temperature / modifier the important properties of a SCF via density, viscosity, diffusivity, heat capacity and thermal conductivity can be varied to make it more feasible. In addition carbon dioxide which is the most adopted super-critical fluid has low cost in a non-flammable compound and devoid of oxygen, thus protecting liquid sample against any oxidative degradation. Main advantages of SCF instead of conventional organic solvents such as achieving high purity extracts, no residual solvent ,single step processing, reduced operating cost, selective fractionation, faster separation,eco-friendly,physiologically compatible.It finds application in natural foods and flavours, pharmaceuticals, polymers, chemicals and equipment cleaning.

POLYMER AND SMART COATING

Nilesh S. Muley. E mail- nilesh_muley82@rediffmail.com, 9623334998 Abstract "Smart" coating systems are engineered to respond to electrochemical processes responsible for corrosion by providing a self-repairing system. Smart Coatings have long been used to provide corrosion protection for metals exposed to corrosive environments. Coatings provide corrosion protection by a number of mechanisms. The most common mechanism involves the stablishment of a barrier between the environment and the substrate, breaking the connection through the electrolyte between anodes and cathodes on the surface of the substrate that is needed to sustain a corrosion reaction. A second corrosion protection mechanism afforded by some coatings is cathodic-sacrificial protection. Several smart coating system strategies employ electroactive polymers EAPs) such as polyaniline. These coating systems capitalize on the two unique properties of EAPs, their ability to: (1) conduct electricity and (2) bind and expel molecules or ions in response to an electrochemical potential. For a smart coating system, the switching of the EAP redox state is triggered by local electrochemical reactions occurring on the surface of a metal which occur during a corrosion process. Thus, if the EAP is engineered to contain an inhibitor ion as a dopant, the ion is released when a corrosion process (metal oxidation) occurs. This presentation will focus on the chemistry of EAPs for corrosion protection of high tensile strength aluminum alloys such as 2024-T3, which are of great interest in the aerospace industry. In contrast to pure aluminum, which is resistant to pitting corrosion, the increased susceptibility of the 2024-T3 aluminum alloy to pitting corrosion is centered upon the unique electrochemistry of the intermetallic inclusions, specifically oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). The goal is to incorporate organic ORR inhibitors into coating systems that are released upon demand.

The risks associated with the chemical industry are commensurate with their rapid growth and development. Apart from their utility, chemicals inherent properties and hazards i.e., they are flammable, explosive, toxic or corrosive etc. Industrial accidents are disasters that happen in industrial sites. A lot of industrial disasters have happened since the 19th century. On 3 Dec 1984 leakage of MIC gas at Union Carbide Corporation killed several peoples was one of the biggest chemical industrial accident ever, which created need for advance safety measures. Beside from accidental happenings, industrial accidents can also be caused by negligence on the part of the company or incompetence of personnel. It is important that all safety measures are implemented in order to have a secure work environment where negligence and incompetence cannot be blamed for accidents that occur. Although these measures may be implemented, there may still be accidents that cannot be avoided. Some of these can be caused by natural disasters that can strike at any given moment. Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in which there was a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns, and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, following the Thoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011. It is the largest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986. The significance of Safety in chemical industries has been a vital issue in achieving productivity and an edge in the competitive world. This abstract is an effort to present the various factors affecting the safety in chemical industries in recent times and advanced technology designed to overcome such factors.

Ms. Tamini B. Rahangdale, Ms. Snehal S. Hande Address: Home No.48,Tirupati Nagar, Yavatmal Email:tamini123@gmail.com, snehalhande2011@gmail.com Mob No.-9405949132 Department Of Chemical Engineering Jawaharlal Darda Institute Of Engineering And Technology, Yavatmal Abstract Worldwide, the average baseline consumption of fresh water is 300 liters per day per person which equals to around one hundred thousand liters of fresh water per person annually. The demand for fresh water in India will be tremendous, which will be required by the increased population. Almost 20% of the world's population is facing lack of access to safe drinking water. Water covers over 75% of the earth surface and saline water makes up 97.5% of this; however just 2.53% is fresh and potable, used for different purposes such as domestic, industrial and agriculture demands. Based on the latest figures from World Water Development Report more than 50 percent of the nations in the world will face water crises by 2025, however by 2050 about 75 percent of the world population will have a significant possibility of facing water shortages. The answer to these water challenges is to find or create new, alternatives, and inexpensive resources of fresh water. Traditionally dams and artesian wells have been used in order to provide fresh water; however the amount of water that can be produced in these ways is insufficient or unpredictable. Therefore creating a new source of potable water has been a significant issue worldwide. Desalination could hold the key for new fresh water resources.

Abstract Mixed column is a modified bubble column which is nothing but combination of two different types of column like bubble column-trickle bed, packed column-bubble column, etc. Design of bubble column, trickle bed & their internals has been studied separately. In the present work studies have been carried out on the hydrodynamics of two-phase gas-liquid flow in a modified bubble column & packed bed column. Where a sparger is used as gas-liquid distributor, studies have been carried out on gas holdup characteristics and pressure drop. A model for pressure drop in the modified bubble column based on mechanical energy balance within the framework of dynamic interaction of the phases has been formulated. The model includes the effect of bubble formation and foam drag at interface on the pressure drop. Correlations were also developed to predict the gas holdup and pressure drop. The experimental data have been found to agree well with the proposed model and correlation. The experimental results were compared with other system and the overall performance of the present system has been found to be highly encouraging as a gas-liquid contactor. To improve the transfer operation and its efficiency, researchers are trying different kinds of multiphase contacting devices viz. simple bubble column, bubble column with internals, trickle bed with different types of packing. The main advantages of two phase up flow mixed column are large interfacial area available inside the bubble column and surface renewal take place inside the packed column.

DIMETHYL ETHER THE NEXT GENERATION FUEL

Amolkumar A. Durbude, Omkar S. Pune, Vishal V. Deshmukh Final year B.Tech Chemical Engineering, UDCT, NMU Jalgaon Abstract DME (Dimethyl Ether, CH3OCH3) is an LPG-like synthetic fuel. DME is a clean burning synthetic fuel that can substitute for conventional diesel, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). As a diesel fuel replacement it reduces NOx emissions 90%. It can be transported as a pressurised liquid similar to LPG. DME can be economically produced from a number of feedstock like natural gas, biomass and coal. It is gaseous at ambient conditions but can be liquefied at moderate pressure. With a high cetane number, DME has very attractive characteristics as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. The properties of DME are similar to those of LPG. DME can be blended up to 20% with LPG and used for household cooking and heating, without any modifications to equipment or used as a replacement. DME can also be used as a clean burning substitute for diesel in transportation and as a clean fuel for power generation. DME can be manufactured by dehydration of methanol but also by direct synthesis from synthesis gas. Synthesis gas can be produced from any carbon containing raw material. Currently, the most economic way to produce synthesis gas is by reforming natural gas. Large-scale manufacture of DME from natural gas can be cost competitive with diesel fuel. The synthetic gas is then catalyzed to produce DME. It can be produced by coal. coal is first gasified to produce a synthesis gas rich in CO and hydrogen. It produces by-products CO2, methanol and water which are separated from the product DME by distillation. Methanol is recycled to DME synthesis reactor to be converted into DME. Synthesis gas can also be produced from biomass, but having a higher cost than from natural gas. By using biomass as feedstock, the emissions of fossil CO2 can be considerably reduced.

ELECTRICITY GENERATION FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE

Miss. Sheetal G. Paidalwar, Miss. Rajashri A. Chaudhari, Mr.A.K.Goswami. B.Tech (Chemical engg), Final year. University Department Of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon-425001. Email- shitalpaidalwar@gmail.com Abstract With rising urbanization and change in life style and food habits, the amount of municipal solid waste has been increasing rapidly. The term municipal solid waste refers to solid from houses, streets and public places, shops, offices and hospitals. The average person produces almost one ton of wastes per year. In most of the cities & towns the municipal solid waste is being dumped & burnt in open spaces without understanding the adverse impacts on the environment. The waste in the dumping ground undergoes various anaerobic reactions produces offensive Green House gases such as CO2, CH4 etc. These gases are contributing potentially to Global Warming & Climate Change phenomenon. This mismanagement of waste will cause serious long term environmental damage. We can use this municipal solid waste to generate electricity by capturing methane (landfill gas). Methane is a primary constituent of landfill gas (LFG).Instead of allowing LFG to escape into the air, it can be captured, converted, and used as an energy source. The captured methane will be combusted to generate electricity that will feed to the national power grid and used as an alternative source of cheap and renewable energy that will reduce dependence on grid power and this will displace fossil fuel based electricity generation. The benefits of this are that the non-reusable waste is converted into combustible gases for electricity generation. Utilization of municipal solid waste leading to reduction of the use of fossil fuel and reduction of GHG emissions. Keywords: Municipal Solid Waste, Landfill Gas (Methane, Carbondioxide,), Anaerobic Reaction, Electricity Generation, GHG (Green House Gases) Reduction.

CATALYTIC OLEFINS TECHNOLOGIES PROVIDE REFINERY/PETROCHEMICAL BALANCE

Mr.Baraskar Atul Babasaheb , Mr.Mothe Sambhaji Devrao, Mr.Birhade Amol Trambak Department Of Chemical Technology NMU, Jalgaon E-mail: balsambha@gmail.com Abstract Many refiners find themselves with underutilized FCC capacity while at the same Time they must cope with stranded streams such as coker naphtha and FCC C4s and C5s which have little value as fuel blending stock due to olefin content and Octane issues. This problem will be aggravated as more cokers come on-stream to convert additional resid material and as FCC units increase severity to maximize propylene production. It is possible, however, to upgrade such olefins-containing streams to high-value petrochemicals using SUPERFLEX, a commercialized fluid catalytic cracking process, which converts olefinscontaining C4-C8 streams predominantly to propylene, with large quantities of ethylene and aromatics also produced. In addition, elements of high severity C4 and naphtha cracking can be integrated into an FCC unit co-processing traditional FCC feedstocks such as VGO using the MAXOFIN FCC Process. This paper provides a general overview of the KBR SUPERFLEX, ACO and MAXOFIN FCC processes, including discussion of their similarities to, and differences from, refinery FCCs. Information is included regarding the yield performance of cracking streams such as coker naphtha and FCC C4/C5s and the implications regarding product octane and olefin content.

ADVANCED HYDROGEN SEPRATION TECHNOLOGY

Mr. Parag B. Wasanik, Mr. Amit S. Gambhir, Miss. Mayuri A. Chavhan B.Tech Chemical Engg, U.D.C.T, N.M.U, Jalgaon. Email: parag.wasanik11@gmail.com Abstract Hydrogen as a high-quality and clean energy carrier has attracted renewed and ever increasing attention around the world in recent years, mainly due to developments in fuel cells and environmental pressures including climate change issues. Membranes are also important to the subsequent purification of hydrogen. For hydrogen production and purification, there are generally two classes of membranes both being inorganic: dense phase metal and metal alloys, and porous ceramic membranes.The two key advantages of dense metal membrane are that is 10 * cheaper than palladium membranes and has 10 * better performance.Most hydrogen separation membranes operate on the principle that only hydrogen can penetrate through the membrane because of the inherent properties of the material. The mechanism for hydrogen penetration through the membrane depends on the type of membrane. Most membranes rely on partial pressure of hydrogen in the feed stream as the driving force for permeation which is balanced with partial pressure of hydrogen in the product (permeate)stream. Eltrons membrane is the separation of hydrogen and carbon dioxide from gasified-coal.Eltrons hydrogen transport membrane system(HTM) is under development for separation of hydrogen from carbon dioxide in an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant designed for carbon capture and storage. Process performance economics were evaluated for IGCC plants with carbon capture using HTM in comparison with conventional technology. Detailed process simulations were developed to evaluate the performance of IGCC plants using conventional technology for the baseline cases, and comparison cases using the hydrogen transport membrane for hydrogen/carbon dioxide separation.

FATS AND OILS AS OLEO CHEMICAL RAW MATERIALS

Mr. Kulkarni Abhijit S., Mr, Shinde Yogesh D., Mr. R.W.GAIKWAD Dept. Of Chemical Engg. PREC, LONI Email: abhijitkulkarni351@gmail.com, yogeshshinde0007@gmail.com Abstract Vegetable oils and fats are important constituents of human and animal foodstuffs. Certain grades are industrially used and, together with carbohydrates and proteins, are important renewable resources compared to fossil and mineral raw materials, whose occurrence is finite. In concepts for new products, the price, performance, and product safety criteria are equally important and have a correspondingly high importance right at the start of product development. To ensure a high degree of product safety for consumers and the environment, renewable resources have often been shown to have advantages when compared with petrochemical raw materials and can therefore be regarded as being the ideal raw material basis. Results from oleo chemistry show that the use of vegetable fats and oils allows the development of competitive, powerful products, which are both consumer-friendly and environment-friendly. Recently developed products, which fit this requirement profile, are the anionic surfactants cocomonoglyceride sulfate and the nonionic sugar surfactant alkyl polyglycoside. These products are used especially as mild surfactants in cosmetic formulations. In polymer applications derivatives of oils and fats, such as epoxides, polyoils, and dimerisations products based on unsaturated fatty acids, are used as plastic additives or components for composites or polymers like polyamides and polyurethanes. In the lubricant sector fatty acid based esters have proven to be powerful alternatives to conventional mineral oil products.

Ms. Minakshee B. Phutke, Mr. Samir K. Dharmadhikari, Mr. Manoj R. Korke, Mr. A. K. Goswami University Department Chemical Technology, NMU, Jalgaon-425001 Email ID: monaphutke@gmail.com Abstract A homogenous single phase, the supercritical fluid possesses the density and solvating power of a liquid with the viscosity and diffusivity of a gas resulting in greater extraction efficiency compared to traditional extraction process. SFE offers exiting opportunities in the field due to improved quality and purity of extracts, faster extraction times, and reduced solvent consumption .The main attraction of SFE is the use of carbon dioxide(CO2) as the solvent as it shows good solvent characteristics like low toxicity, non inflammability ,also it is not harmful environmentally. It can reach supercritical conditions at pressure 73.8 bar and temperature 31.3 .It shows applications in various fields like extraction of medical components from plants, extraction of essential oils, in food industry, in environmental and soil analysis, extraction of metalloid and metal species from a solid or liquid material. Beside these advantages SFE requires high capital investment, large numbers of variables to optimize, and there are some difficulties in scale up. SFE is not a fully mature technology and needs to be more fully developed in five areas to be successful in tomorrows environmental lab such as general rugged extraction methods, ease of use, automation, etc. Enhanced understanding of methods development and a firmer theoretical base will allow SFE to become an established technique for sample preparation.

WASTE HEAT RECOVERY

Ms.Sarika Nagpure, Ms.Nilam Kale, Ms.Tejasvi Ramteke, Mr.Dhananjay Ghorpade. Department Of Chemical technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon-425001 Email: nagpuresarika@gmail.com Abstract Waste heat is heat, which is generated in a process by way of fuel combustion or chemical reaction, and then dumped into the environment even though it could still be reused for some useful and economic purpose. The essential quality of heat is not the amount but rather its value. The strategy of how to recover this heat depends in part on the temperature of the waste heat gases and the economics involved. Large quantity of hot flue gases is generated from Boilers, Kilns, Ovens and Furnaces. If some of this waste heat could be recovered, a considerable amount of primary fuel could be saved. The energy lost in waste gases cannot be fully recovered. Usually higher the temperature, higher the quality and more cost effective is the heat recovery.Recovery of waste heat has a direct effect on the efficiency of the process. This is reflected by reduction in the utility consumption & costs, and process cost. Indirect Benefits are reduction in pollution, reduction in equipment sizes, reduction in auxiliary energy consumption.

Akshay Jakhete, Sayali Titre University Department of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon Email : akshay.jakhete@gmail.com Abstract Elevated levels of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia have been identified within shallow soil and groundwater regimes at several places in India. Traditional means of addressing impacts have proven to be both costly and often ineffective. This has lead to the development, testing and implementation of techniques for the remediation of fertilizer based groundwater impacts based on the- Enhanced In Situ Bio-Denitrification (EISBD) principles. EISBD techniques have been evaluated using bench studies, field based pilot tests and full scale remediation. It can be concluded that remediation of the fertilizer-based ground water impacts using EISBD is generally both technically feasible and economical. Important lessons learned, the process of evaluating and applying EISBD techniques, and the positive and negative aspects of this remediation option are described herein.

EVALUATION OF VARIOUS ADSORBENTS FOR REMOVAL OF TOLUENE

Miss. Swati Phalak, Mr. R. S. Sirsam University Department Of Chemical Technology, NMU. Jalgaon. Email: swatiphalak3@gmail.com Abstract One of the most common terms used in the solvent industry is volatile organic compound and is abbreviated as volatile organic compounds. VOCs are a large group of organic chemicals that readily evaporate at room temperature. VOCs can be defined as organic chemicals with a vapour pressure of more than 0.1 mmHg at 200C and 760 mmHg, which participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions. Many industrial processes handling organic solvents produce VOCs. These VOCs not only cause environmental pollution, but also represent an economic loss. VOC removal and recovery have become a big issue that needs to be addressed. Traditional techniques for VOCs removal include carbon adsorption, condensation, absorption, but none is efficient enough to meet every need. Membrane separation has emerged as an excellent alternative or complementary technology for VOC separation. The development of an advanced VOC destruction process consists of an adsorption unit followed by an adsorption column. Carbon, zeolite, and polymer adsorbents have each been used to adsorb VOC and other pollutants from relatively dilute concentrations in air (from tens to thousands of parts per million by volume) to control emissions. This paper discusses issues involved in deciding which adsorbent to be used, what type of adsorption system to be used, and whether it is the right emission control technology. The actual concentration of the VOC is key to when and how an adsorber would be used.

RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

Mr. Nikhil Akhilesh Sinha, Mr.G.S.Zamre nikhilasinha@gmail.com, gszamre@yahoo.in Department of Chemical Engineering, Shri Shivaji College of Engineering & Technology, Babhulgaon (Jh.), Dist. AKOLA. Abstract Risk management is recognized as an essential tool to tackle the inevitable uncertainty associated with business and projects at all levels. But it frequently fails to meet expectations, with projects continuing to run late, over budget or underperforming, and business not gaining the expected benefits. The goals of chemical safety programs encompass the prevention, assessment, and management of both short-term and long-term adverse effects to humans and the environment resulting from the production, use, transport and disposal of chemicals. The tools used internationally to assess and manage the risks of chemicals on human health have generally developed independently from the tools used to assess risks to the environment for practical and historical reasons. However, with increased recognition of the need to protect both humans and the environment more effectively, an integrated approach to risk assessment that addresses situations of multi-chemical, multimedia, multicoated, and multispecies exposures holistically is needed. Gas Detection Sensor:A gas detection sensor permits precise measurement of the concentration of flammable gas in detection or subject gas the concentration of oxygen in a detection gas containing flammable gas. In the sensor, the heating of the sensor by contact catalytic reaction of flammable gas gives off a detection signal of the flammable gas. This paper explores how to expand risk management to deliver strategic advantage while retaining its use as a tactical tool in chemical industry and with flammable gas.

Different types of corrosion occurring in the different processing vessel, each type of corrosion has significant control measures. It causes failure of processing vessel and various refinery equipment dealing with the water and chemicals. Corrosive substances may be liquid or solid, but most of the liquid which are corrosive include, acids, bases, boiler feed water etc. Various factors which promote corrosion rate like oxidizing agents, temperature, pH, films, dissolved salts, fluid velocity, impurities etc. The inorganic salts, sulphur compounds, organic acids, H2S these are major contributor of corrosion in refinery. Amines are used in the refineries and gas plant to remove both H2S and CO2 from feed gas like LPG. CO2 causes problem in hydride formation and affect the specification of products such as ethylene in gas cracking unit. The corrosion in amine plant is not caused by amine itself but caused by the H2S, CO2 and by amine degradation products. Control measures to avoid corrosion in amine plant like selection of material of construction and operating parameters over which corrosion not occur also have been included in this paper.

REACTIVE DISTILLATION: A NOVEL APPROACH TO EFFICIENT WORK ESTERIFICATION REACTION

Mr. Mahesh Y. Navghane.1 Mr. Dhaniket R. Bodhe.1 Prof. R. S. Sirsam2 1. Final Year B. Tech (Chem. Engg.) student, UDCT, NMU, 2. Associate Professor, UDCT, NMU, Jalgaon Email : navghanemahesh@gmail.com
Abstract Reactive distillation technique has become an interesting alternative to some conventional process especially useful for equilibrium-limited reactions such as esterification and ester hydrolysis reactions. Conversion can be increased far beyond what is expected by the equilibrium due to the continuous removal of reaction products from the reactive zone. This helps to reduce capital and investment costs and may be important for sustainable development due to a lower consumption of resources.
Reactive distillation is a novel approach to efficient work for homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyzed esterification of any acid with alcohol in reactive distillation column. A packed bed reactive distillation column filled with suitable catalyst to perform esterification reaction is used.
Here we discus how the reactive distillation is useful to perform esterification reaction, business drivers such as economics environment and social improvements, the scale up methods applied from pilot plant to commercial scale, advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst. Keywords: (Reactive distillation, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst, catalyzed estrification )

ONE POT SYNTHESIS OF SUBSTITUTED BENZOTHIAZOLES USING PTAB

S. P. Hangirgekar School of Chemical Sciences, S. R. T. M. University Nanded-431606(MS) INDIA Email: hangirgekar_04@rediffmail.com Abstract The reaction of molecular bromine (Br2) with aromatic aldehydes and 2aminothiophenol is known to produce 2-aminobenzothiazoles. We shown here that phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide (PhNMe3Br3), a stable, crystalline organic ammonium tribromide (OATB), can be readily utilized as an alternative electrophilic bromine source. It is easier to control the stoichiometry of addition with an OATB, which minimizes aromatic bromination caused by excess reagent. In present work we have developed a novel application of phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide (PTAB) for the one-pot synthesis of substituted benzthiazoles from substituted benzaldehydes and 2-aminothiols.

Abstract A DRUG broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function. In pharmacology, a drug is a CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE used in the treatment, cure, prevention or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well being. Drugs are usually distinguished from endogenous Bio-chemicals by being introduced from outside the organism. Drugs both MEDICINAL and RECREATIONL, can be administered in a variety of ways rather than just one. Drug delivery system generally classified into Primary, Secondary and Tertiary categories. Recent studies have led to significant advances in understanding the impact of key drug carrier properties such as, SIZE, SURFACE CHEMISTRY and SHAPE on their performance. The successful drug delivery carries to navigate through multiple physiological hurdles including Reticulo Endothelial System (RES) clearance, target accumulation, intracellular uptake and endosomal escape. Each of these processes may require unique and often conflicting design parameters, thus making it difficult to choose a design that addresses all these known hurdles. Researchers have attempted for many years to develop drugs based on QSAR (Quantative Structure Activity Relationships) and simultaneously based on Kernel Regressions (Algorithms). However, access to computational resources was not available when these efforts began, so attempts consisted primarily of STATISTICAL CORRELATIONS of structural descriptors with biological activities. This presentation will discuss the application of QSAR & KERNAL in drug design. Some examples which will be presented on computer assisted drug and molecular design and some, on computer-based Visualization and Modeling.

Abstract In this work, selected polymeric entrainers have been assess their capability of breaking the azeotrope of ethanol/water and MTBE/methanol systems. Solubility testing and group contribution model calculations were used to guide in the initial selection of potential polymers. Therefore a software package was developed in order to find a suitable solvent (entrainer) for the above mentioned separation processes. The entrainer selection is based on azeotropic data, activity coefficients at infinite dilution and vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data. These data are taken from actual data banks as well as from thermodynamic models. Experimental VLE measurements were performed to determine whether the selected polymers are capable of breaking the azeotrope. Selected polymeric entrainers capable of breaking the azeotrope for the ethanol/water system. Poly(ethylene glycol) at 10 wt % and poly-(acrylic acid) at 0.45 wt % did break the azeotrope for the ethanol/water system. Other polymeric entrainers used with the ethanol/water system might be capable of breaking the azeotrope, but we could not conclusively determine this from the collected data. In this work we will try to investigate new entrainer and increase purity of product. Keywords : Entrainers, selectivity, Vapour Liquid Equlibrium, Azeotrope, UNIQUAC Model.

ALTERNATIVE FUELS: COAL BED METHANE GAS

Miss Apurva J. Wadnerkar Miss Ashwini Pande Miss Sonali Marotkar Wadnerkar.apurva@gmail.com ashwinipande31@gmail.com Department of Chemical Engineering, Shri Shivaji College of Engineering & Technology, Babhulgaon (Jh.), Dist. AKOLA. Abstract Coal bed methane (CBM) or coal bed gas is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds. In recent decades it has become an important source of energy in United States, Canada, and other countries. Australia has rich deposits where it is known as coal seam gas. The primary energy source of natural gas is a substance called methane (CH4). Coal bed methane (CBM) is simply methane found in coal seams. It is produced by non-traditional means, and therefore, while it is sold and used the same as traditional natural gas, its production is very different. CBM is generated either from a biological process as a result of microbial action or from a thermal process as a result of increasing heat with depth of the coal. Often a coal seam is saturated with water, with methane is held in the coal by water pressure[1]. Currently, natural gas from coal beds accounts for approximately 7% of total natural gas production in the United States.

ADVANCED HIGH TEMPERATURE REACTOR

Mr Vijay chunilal Motiraya, Mr Dhananjay Nale, Mr Nitin Sawale, Mr. Kishor Patil University department of chemical technology, NMU Email : vijaymotiraya@gmail.com Abstract The Advanced High-Temperature Reactor (AHTR) is a new reactor concept under development that uses a solid high-temperature fuel and a liquid fluoride salt coolant. Depending upon the specific salt coolant that is selected, the liquid melting point of the coolant is between 350 and 500C with boiling points typically at or above 1300C. The very high volumetric heat capacity of the coolant and its other properties enable the development of compact modular reactors as well as high-power reactors with passive safety systems. The base-case design with prismatic fuel blocks is described. The results of a series of trade studies that may significantly extend AHTR capabilities are also described. Studies of AHTRs with pebble-bed fuel have developed an AHTR concept with (1) significantly lower fuel cycle costs than traditional gas-cooled pebble-bed reactors and (2) uranium consumption per unit of electricity that is 64% of a light-water reactor. Studies of AHTRs with pin-type fuel assemblies for large power levels have developed core designs with the potential for significantly better actinide-burning capabilities than either light-water reactors or sodiumcooled fast reactors. A conceptual beyond-design-basis accident (BDBA) system has been developed that may allow failures of all decay-heat removal systems (except heat transfer to the ground) without significant release of radio nuclides to the environment in a large reactor. This is a significant enhancement in financial risk reduction compared to the present generation of reactors. The basis for these conclusions and the important technical uncertainties are described.

IMPORTANCE OF VARIOUS PLANT UTILITIES FOR APPLICATION IN PROCESS INDUSTRIES

Ajay R. Randhe, Pravin A. Koli* Shree Sant Muktai Institute of Technology (S.M.I.T.), Jalgaon Abstract Industrial plants can be thought of as being composed of two distinct systems the manufacturing process itself, and the energy supply facilities (often called "Plant Utilities") required to drive the process. Plant utilities means streams which do not directly interfere the process but it indirectly affects the efficiency and the quality of the product obtained and without which plant cannot run. Industrial plant utility systems can be quite complicated. They usually include between 3 to 5 subsystems, all of which interact with one another to some degree. These are namely water, steam, air, refrigeration, vacuum, inert gases. There is an important characteristic of the plant utility systems (PLUS) which is directly related to the efficiency of the process. Since the plant utility system is required to meet the utility needs of the process under varying operating conditions (such as startup, shutdown and other abnormal operations) it is typically designed for considerable operating flexibility. This flexibility shows up as surplus equipment in the system. The focus of this poster is to describe how various plant utilities are applied in process plants for use in mitigating the economic consequences of industrial production.

TURNING ATMOSPHERIC INTO FUEL BY USING IONIC LIQUID CATALYST. (ALTERNATIVE FUELS).
Balaka Biswas, Jyoti Dakorkar, Tanvi Gadgil. Department Of Chemical Technology,North Maharashtra University,Jalgaon. Email: gadgil.tanvi@gmail.com;biswasbalaka@gmail.com Abstract In plants, photosynthesis uses solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to sugars and other hydrocarbons. Biofuels are refined from sugars extracted from crops. However, in artificial photosynthesis, an electrochemical cell uses energy from a solar collector or a wind turbine to convert to simple carbon fuels such as formic acid or methanol, which are further refined to make ethanol and other fuels. The key advantage is that there is no competition with the food supply and it is a lot cheaper to transmit electricity than it isto ship biomass to a refinery. In this technology ,theelectrochemical cell is used as a flow reactor, separating the gaseous input and oxygen output from the liquid electrolyte catalyst with gas-diffusion electrodes. The cell design allows the cell reactor to fine-tune the composition of the electrolyte stream to improve reaction kinetics, including adding ionic liquids as a co-catalyst. This technology brings us a significant step closer to reducing our dependence on fossil fuels while simultaneously reducing emissions that are linked to unwanted climate change.

CHROMIUM REMOVAL FROM AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY USING LOW COST ADSORBENT PREPARED FROM GROUNDNUT HUSK
Jagannath Kayande and A.N. Sawarkar* Department of Chemical Engineering, Anuradha Engineering College (AEC), Chikhli-443201, Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Maharashtra, India E-mail:ansawarkar@rediffmail.com Abstract Chromium is known to be carcinogenic and is detrimental to the lives of humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms. Sources of chromium waste leading to water pollution includes paints and pigments, mining, electroplating, steel fabrication, leather tanning, textile dyeing, aluminum conversion coating operations, plants producing industrial inorganic chemicals etc. It is imperative that the industries treat their effluents to reduce the chromium concentration in water and wastewater to acceptable levels before its transport and cycling into the environment. Literature review has established that the synthetic activated carbon has highest efficiency in removing chromium from waste water amongst the various adsorbents that have been investigated by the past researchers. In the present work, activated carbon made out of ground nut husk (which is usually a waste) has been investigated as a natural adsorbent for the removal of chromium from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were carried out with a known concentration of chromium in an aqueous solution. Various parameters such as adsorbent doses, reaction time, temperature, and agitation were investigated. The study revealed that the carbon made out of groundnut husk acts as very promising adsorbent as regards to chromium removal. Based on the encouraging results obtained, we intend to conduct the continuous operation of chromium removal with the aid of groundnut husk and optimize the parameters involved in the process.

RISK ASSESSMENT FOR AN EFFECTIVE INDUSTRIAL SAFETY

Mahajan Lomesh S., Bhandarkar Bharat A. And S.N.Shah K.C.E.C.O.E.I.T,JALGAON Mahajan_ls@rediffmail.com Contact No.09673866189 Abstract As the industry grapples with the concept of sustainable development, risk assessment represents a potentially useful methodology to engage operations with the broader range of issues involved. However, a limitation of the traditional risk mitigation approach is that it focuses on avoiding negative outcomes, whereas a sustainability focus requires consideration of positive impacts as well. The paper presents a risk assessment approach, which uses analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to directly and holistically estimate risk, showing greater flexibility in comparison to traditional methods. It describes the rationale for the project, the outcomes from the trials and the overall lessons from the exercise This is an essential area to focus on in order to move beyond the traditional risk mitigation approach towards a more proactive approach to positive impacts, which can be realised by mining operations. Through examining organizations with good safety performance, it was intended to identify common features that are associated with good safety performance. The mining industrys contribution to sustainable development will ultimately be judged not by what is written in policy documents and public reports, but by what is happening on the ground at individual operations. A major challenge for companies, therefore, is to find productive ways of engaging with sites about sustainable development issues.

EVALUATION OF COCONUT OIL AS AN ENVIRONMENTFRIENDLY LUBRICANT

Manoj D. Salunke, M. G. Rathi Manoj.salunke2007@rediff.com Mob.no.7588193537 Government College Of Engineering Aurangabad Abstract Increased concerns about environmental damage caused by mineral oil based lubricants, has created a growing worldwide trend of promoting vegetable oil as base oil for automobile lubricants. Coconut oil, which is abundantly available in southern states of India, is reportedly being widely used as two-stroke engine lubricant (2T oil) by autorikshaw1 drivers. A survey among the users of coconut oil as 2T oil brought forth complaints of increased engine wear. This paper presents tribological properties of coconut oil evaluated using a four-ball tester and a test rig to test the wear on two stroke engines. The influence of an antiwear/extreme pressure (AW/EP) additive on the tribological performance of coconut oil was also evaluated experimentally. The addition of the AW/EP additive has brought about considerable reduction in wear with coconut oil as 2T oil.

HYDROGEN SULFIDE REMOVAL FROM BIOGAS USING FE/NTA SOLUTION

Mr. Ameya Chandrakant Hundekari, Mrs. S. S. Metkar,* Final Year B.Tech, Department of Petrochemical Engineering, *Assistant Prof. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological University, Lonere (Raigad) - 402103, India. Email: ameyahundekari@live.in Address: Excise colony, Near Shiv Mandir, Bhoirwadi, Birla College, Kalyan(w), Dist: Thane Abstract Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic and corrosive gas which is one of the larger pollutants of the atmosphere. Cleaning of this gas is necessary not only for pollution abatement but also for effective use of the gas mixtures like natural gas, biogas etc. for end use applications like power generation in IC engines, production of heat and steam, electricity generation/co-generation, use as vehicle fuel: where the presence of hydrogen sulfide at higher concentration corrodes the internal parts of the engines in a very short operational duration of run. This various pathways for using biogas show the need of biogas purification, including the H2S removal. This paper addresses the removal of hydrogen sulfide from biogas using Fe/NTA solution. The process consists of two stage countercurrent scrubbing of hydrogen sulfide from biogas using a chelated polyvalent metal ion which undergoes reduction, followed by removal of precipitated sulfur in the filtration unit and the oxidation of the reduced metal ion using oxygen in the air, for recycling. This particular biogas purification strategy offers many advantages. For instance, the process can be performed under mild environmental conditions and at low temperature, and it removes H2S selectively. Because the catalytic Fe/NTA solution is easily regenerated, no chemicals are consumed. Finally the end product of extraction is elemental sulfur, which is a stable material that can be easily commercialized or disposed of with minor potential for further pollution.

BIODIESEL FROM MORINGA OILIEFERA SEEDS

Mr. Mayur Pramod Patil, .Ms.Vrushali Rajendra Chaudhari, Ms.Lalita Prakash Patil UDCT,NMU JALGAON. Email id- mayur490@gmail.com
ABSTRACT A life cycle assessment (LCA) analysis has been carried out in order to determine the ecological and carbon footprints associated with biodiesel production from Moringa oleifera oilseeds. This LCA analysis consists of pre-farm, on-farm and post-farm stages. Pre-farm data included the information on the production of inputs, on-farm stage included environmental emissions from diesel use and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from N fertiliser applications and the post-farm stage included dehusking of oilseeds and the conversion of the production of biodiesel from Moringaoleifera oilseeds. In this research, global warming and fossil fuel resource scarcity have been found to be the predominant impacts of the production of biodiesel. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during the production of 1,000 litres of biodiesel was 1,543 kg of CO2-e (kg CO2 e), when the biodiesel was produced from Moringa oleifera oilseeds, grown under irrigated conditions. The GHG emissions under dryland conditions were found to be 33% lower CO2 (i.e. 1,171 kg CO2-e) than that for irrigated conditions for the same level of biodiesel production. Emissions from the paddock accounted for a significant portion of GHG emissions from biodiesel production from Moringa oleifera oilseeds, with irrigated land production. Fossil fuel usage (largely attributed to farm machinery) is a major environmental impact (40%) from biodiesel production from Moringa oleifera oilseeds under dryland production.

BIO FUEL FROM MICRO ALGAE

Mr.Sachin A. Patil, Ku. Prajkta G. Bade, Ku.Priyanka D. Pande patilsachin308@gmail.com, prajkta.bade12@gmail.com Department Of Chemical Engineering, Anuradha Engineering College,Chikhli ABSTRACT: Sustainable production of renewable energy is being hotly debated globally since it is increasingly understood that rst generation biofuels, primarily produced from food crops and mostly oil seeds are limited in their ability to achieve targets for biofuel production, climate changemitigation and economic growth. These concerns have increased the interest in developing second generation biofuels produced from non-food feedstocks such as microalgae, which potentially offer greatest opportunities in the longer term. This paper reviews the current status of microalgae use for biodiesel production, including their cultivation, harvesting, and processing. The microalgae species most used for biodiesel production are presented and their main advantages described in comparison with other available biodiesel feedstocks. The various aspects associated with the design of microalgae production units are described, giving an overview of the current state of development of algae cultivation systems (photo-bioreactors and open ponds). Other potential applications and products from microalgae are also presented such as for biological sequestration of CO2, wastewater treatment, in human health, as food additive, and for aquaculture.

SEPARATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM WASTE RUBBER TIRE BY PYROLYSIS PROCESS

Pratik Hedau, Rajendra Badhiye, Vishal Khairkar Chemical Engineering Dept. K.K.Wagh Institute Of Eng. Education & Research, Nashik. 9823546731, pratiekhedau@gmail.com
Abstract
Nowadays, waste tires disposal has become a relevant environmental problem. Although pyrolysis processes seem to be a feasible alternative treatment, a proper application for generated residues is a task to be solved. In this context, the aim of this work is to valorize pyrolytic tire char by means of the production of a useful adsorbent for air purification. An activation process with CO2 was chosen to control the process of microporosity generation. The activation reaction and the textural properties were followed to achieve the understanding of porosity evolution. A change in the reaction rate in the first steps of the process was observed, followed by a linear relationship between activation time and burn off. Microporosity is generated in two main processes. At the beginning, narrow micro porosity is formed, and later, a widening of the microspores is taking place. The performance of the new obtained samples for hot gas cleaning was tested by a process of Phenanthrene (Phe) adsorption in a fixed bed reactor with a process temperature of 1500c at low inlet concentrations. It was concluded that the porosity development, both micro-and nonmicroporosity, increases the physical adsorption capacity of activated carbons, likely due to a multilayer adsorption process.

SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR) TECHNOLOGY FOR THE CONTROL OF NITROGEN OXIDE (NOX) EMISSIONS FROM COAL-FIRED BOILERS.
Ganesh G. Aghav, Gokul V. Mahajan, Sajan S. Babhare. Department Of Chemical Technology, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon. Email-: ganeshgaghav@gmail.com ,gvmahajan.engg@gmail.com Abstract Among the chief technologies available for reduction of NOx emissions is Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). SCR Technology was initially developed in the United State and then commercialized in the World including India. A major advantage of SCR is that the reaction products, nitrogen and water, are innocuous compounds already present in air. A major environmental issue in the generation of electric power is the emission of nitrogen oxide, collectively referred to as NOx. NOx consist primarily of nitric oxide (NO) and lesser amounts of nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The goal of the Clean Coal (Carbon) Technology Development Programme (CCTDP) Is to enhance the utilization of coal as a major energy source. Part of this Programme is the demonstration of technologies designed to reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from existing coal -fired utility boilers. NOx is an acid rain precursor and a contributor to the formation of ground-level atmospheric ozone, which is a health hazard and is also related to smog formation. In 1995, a CCTDP project was concluded in U.S. that demonstrated SCR technology for the control of NOx emissions. The SCR processes consists of injecting ammonia (NH3) into boiler flue gas and passing the flue gas through a catalyst bed where the NOx and NH3 react to form nitrogen and water-vapor. The results of the CCTDP confirmed the applicability of SCR for coal-fired power plants. The SCR catalyst made of a solid ceramic material that contains active catalytic components. Keywords- SCR, NOx emissions, CCTDP, Coal Fired Utility Boiler.
