  Production and Extraction of Bioethanol from Agricultural Waste

  By Seema Dwivedi, Gyanendra Singh

  Abstract: Rapid elevation in population and industrialization results in the global demands of ethanol worldwide. Crops such as corn and sugarcane sufficiently cannot meet the global problems of ethanol production because of their primary value of food and feed. Hence, lignocellulosic materials like agricultural wastes are a good source for bioethanol production. Agricultural wastes are renewable, economical and there availability is higher. Bioethanol from agricultural wastes is an effective advance technology …

  Phytoremediation of Lead by Brassica juncea and Vetiver zizanioidus

  By Seema Dwivedi

  Abstract: The engineering-based remediation technologies of heavy metals from contaminated soil are time consuming, expensive, and create noise to the environment. Accumulation of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr, and Ni is destructive to not only plants and animals but also to complete ecosystem. Lead contamination keeps on increasing day by day from industrial waste, paints, ceramics, use of biosolids, and many more. Metals cannot easily degrade, so effective …
