In EU countries approximately 150,000 tons/year of galvanic sludges are generated by 4000 industrial units from the corresponding wastewater treatment plants. These sludges are generally classified as hazardous (European Waste Catalogue as adopted in Council Decision 2000/532/CE and as amended by Decisions 2001/118/EC, 2001/119/EC and 2001/573/CE), basically due to the presence of heavy metals....

Diabetes mellitus is one of the world’s major diseases. It currently affects an estimated143 million people worldwide and the number is growing rapidly. In the India, about 1-5% population suffer from diabetes or related complication. So there is need to cure this disease. Anti-diabetic drugs treat diabetes mellitus by lowering glucose levels in the blood. With the exceptions of insulin, exenat...

The present resume covers an up-to-date literature on Limnophila species. The botanical classification, ethnopharmacology, and chemical constituents of Limnophila plants, as well as the biological activities and pharmacological applications of both distinct phytochemicals and medicinally active plant materials (formulations, extracts, etc.) are discussed in detail.

The control of impurities in Formulated products and Active Pharmaceutical ingredient’s were regulated by various regulatory authorities like US-FDA,ICH,MHRA,TGA etc.As per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines, the Impurity may be defined as any component of new drug product that is not the drug substance or an excipient in drug product. Nowadays apart from purity profile there ...

In order to evaluate the possibility use of palm waste cellulose as a substitute substrate for growing pot plants, an experiment was conducted in completely randomized block design with 6 replication and six treatments on Aglaonema sp. The treatments were 5 levels including 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 palm celluloid wastes mixed with different rates of some amendments such as peat, coconut coir, perl...

The interest in the low energy self-emulsification techniques has exploded recent years, driven by three main trends: transition to "greener" technologies both its aspects - less consumption and replacement of petrochemicals natural ingredients; costly maintenance demanding equipment for nanoemulsification; quest efficient robust self-emulsifying formulations oral drug delivery. Here we first p...

The production of waste has increased over the years and, lacking a recycle or recovery solution, it is forwarded to landfill. The incorporation of wastes in cement-based materials is a solution to reduce waste deposition. In this regard, some researchers have been studying the incorporation of wastes with different functions: aggregate, binder and addition. The incorporation of wastes should t...

The vitrification of zinc-hydrometallurgy wastes, electric arc furnace dust (EAFD), drainage mud, and granite mud was shown to immobilize the hazardous components in these wastes. Batch compositions were prepared by mixing the wastes with glass-cullet and sand to force the final glass composition into the glass forming region of the SiO2-Fe2O3-(CaO, MgO) system. The vitrification was carried ou...
