Enhancement of methane production from Cotton Stalk using different pretreatment techniques

Optimization of Microbial Hydrogen Production from Maize Stalk Using an Isolated Strain

Experimental designs were applied for optimizing media and process parameters for hydrogen production from maize stalk hydrolyzate by a newly isolated facultative strain.Plackett-Burman design was used to identify the significant components and using this method the media components - glucose, yeast extract, malt extract, peptone, and NaCl were identified as signi...

Estimation of Roughness Parameters of A Surface Using Different Image Enhancement Techniques (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Surface roughness measurement is widely used to estimate the quality of the product during manufacturing processes. It has a great importance in manufacturing fields such as ceramic tiles, glass, and iron. Many are using surface profile-meter with a contact stylus to measure the surface roughness of work piece. In the stylus method, a stylus is moved along the surface and the vertical movement ...

Enhanced Xylitol Production from Statistically Optimized Fermentation of Cotton Stalk Hydrolysate by Immobilized Candida tropicalis

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), which is one of the most abundant crops in the world, is cultivated widely in China, the United States, and Central Asia. The cotton stalk generated with cotton cultivation is an important source of lignocellulosic biomass. In recent years, cotton stalk has received increasing attention from researchers engaged in bioconversion areas, and some high-value products, s...

Biogas generation from floral waste using different techniques

There is a great need to implement low-cost and user-friendly methods for further propagation of biogas technology in India. Environment unfriendly disposal of floral waste causes serious environmental pollution. Literature shows a limited research work regarding the anaerobic digestion of floral waste for biogas generation.  The present experimental work aims to propagate floral waste as a sus...
