Lignin degrading white rot fungi, Schizophyllum commune and Lenzites eximia were collected from the living tree of Tramarindus indica and burnt tree respectively from the Western Ghats region of Tamil Nadu, India. The fungi were used for the decolourization of azo dyes such as congored, methylorange, erichrome blackT and also for decolourization of the dye industry effluents. Removal of azo dye...

Flocculation with titanium tetrachloride (TiCl(4)) and titanium sulfate (Ti(SO(4))(2)) was investigated in terms of different coagulant doses, pH, turbidity, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), UV-254, colour, zeta potential, particle size and molecular weight distribution. The two coagulants were compared with the commonly used coagulants such as ferric chloride (FeCl(3)) and aluminium sulfate (Al...

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin frequently found in wines, with an allowed maximum limit of 2.0 μg/L. To optimise OTA removal from white and red wines at high levels (10.0 μg/L) using activated carbons (ACs) different commercial deodorising ACs were tested. elimination was less dependent on characteristics, 100% all but one AC the lowest total pore volume. For only higher abundance mesopores ...

We address two quality issues in endoscopy videos originating from: (a) Colour Channel Misalignment: In current endoscope systems, the colour channel images are most commonly acquired sequentially at different time instances. Whenever the camera moves significantly between acquisition instances, the colour channels get misaligned. This misalignment degrades the quality of the video due to the a...

Abstract Green extraction processes to obtain high value bioactive compounds from raw natural materials and wastes has gained attention the past few years. In present study, we investigated a Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent derived two products, namely choline chloride glucose as potential solvent for of tannin spent coffee ground(SCG). A was used coagulant with Poly aluminium chloride(PAC) flocc...

A 40-year-old woman with a 3 cm sigmoid polyp lesion who underwent a laparoscopic colon resection after intraoperative localisation of the lesion using laparoscopic ultrasonography coupled with colour power Doppler is described. She has successful intraoperative detection of the polyp followed by radical laparoscopic removal of the lesion. The advantage of using laparoscopic high resolution ult...

This paper addresses the problem of compensating for lateral chromatic aberration in images through colour plane realignment. Two main contributions are made: the derivation of a model for lateral chromatic aberration in images, and the subsequent closed-form calibration of this model from a single view of a chess pattern. These advances lead to a practical and accurate alternative for the comp...

The textile industry is one of the industries that generate a high volume of waste water. Strong colour of the textile waste water is the most serious problem of the textile waste effluent. The disposal of these wastes into receiving water causes damage to the environment. With regard to their colour removal by conventional treatment methods lead to severe water pollution, thus developing cost ...

It is based on the experiments conducted for study of chromium removal and recovery from chrome tanning waste water of leather industry for chromium removal about 98.5% was achieved at pH 8.0 and at this pH reduction of COD is 61.5 % and percentage for removal of color from the wastewater of leather industry is 99.5% under applying the batch experimental condition. For this purpose, it is carri...
