From fruit waste to enzymes

Generation of Electric Potential from Vermicomposted Fruit Waste

Vermicomposting is the process of converting organic wastes into valuable organic fertilizer by earthworms. Vermicompost is rich in metal ions and has the potential to be used as an electrolyte. The main aim of this investigation is to explore the potential of earthworms to convert the fruit waste into high quality vermicompost which can serve as a solution to solid waste management issues and ...

Eco-Friendly Synthesis of MgO Nanoparticles from Orange Fruit Waste

Green synthesis of nanoparticles supports reuse, reduce and recycle concept towards the environmental friendly synthesis and also produce the good results compare to chemical methods in some of the cases. MgO nanoparticles can be prepared by solution combustion synthesis using citric acid is a fuel. The same citric acid is available in the nature in so many form just like tamarind, lemon and or...

Responses of Antioxidant Enzymes in Catfish Exposed to Liquid Crystals from E-Waste

Liquid crystals (LCs) are typically elongated organic molecules with a non-uniform distribution of electrical charges leading to a dipole. LCs are widely used in displays of computers and other electronic devices. The rapid obsolescence rate of electronics results in large amounts of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) entering the environment. Data on health effects of LCs on living creatures are c...

From Waste to Resource Management: Reinventing Waste Contracts and Services

Isolation and Characterization of Bacteria Isolated from Municipal Solid Waste for Production of Industrial Enzymes and Waste Degradation

Waste generation and its control have taken an important role in our environment. With the doubling of population and changing lifestyle pattern of the inhabitants the quantity of municipal waste generated is increasing in an alarming rate. Most of this waste is subjected to dumping in a specified disposal yard. The greatest challenge to the environmentalists is the eco friendly management of t...
