Pyridine (Py) and its derivatives, like 2-picoline (2Pi), 4-picoline (4Pi), 3-aminopyridine (AmPy), vinylpyridine, etc. are volatile, toxic and flammable with a pungent and unpleasant odour. Py is the parent of a series ...

In chemical engineering, mathematical models of various processes/systems often appear in the guise of different types of equations, e.g. algebraic equations [AEs], ordinary differential equations [ODEs] and partial- ...

In the present study, a thermotolerant microorganism, which utilizes a variety ofsugars, was isolated from soil sample, and characterized and used for further fermentation studies. The strain was identified as Kluyveromyces ...

The exploitation of renewable energy sources for meeting the ever increasing energy requirements has become more demanding for those developing countries which are importing significant amounts of crude petroleum, natural ...

The term "catalyst" was first introduced by Brezelius in 1835, Catalysts help the reaction to achieve the chemical equilibrium by reducing the potential energy barrier in the reaction path. Catalyst activates the reactant ...

Majority of transport modes use tunnels, whether it is rail, road or water. Millions of people travel through these tunnels everyday. Recent disasters have shown that consequences of fire are very severe in tunnels. ...

Separation of macromolecules from the protein solution is of vital importance for the biochemical industries. Therefore, many researchers have shown great interest in membrane based separation process such as ultrafiltration ...

Over the years, great extent of research efforts are devoted towards the investigation of hydrodynamic characteristics of thermally driven flows and transport processes, due to their fundamental and pragmatic significance. ...

Lignocellulosic biomass-derived fast pyrolysis oil (FPO) has found applications within the petroleum refinery in recent years. This thesis investigates the possibility of upgrading FPO along with petroleum-derived fraction, ...

Adsorption-Desorption is a widely used separation process in chemical and other process industries. The advent of zeolite molecular sieves has further enhanced its utility due to their specificity of separation by size. ...
