Buried Rivers, Thirsty Island Belt: A Review of Water Challenges in the Great Rann of Kachchh
Abstract: The Great Rann of Kachchh (GRK) in Gujarat, India, is a hyper-saline environment where isolated island communities face acute water scarcity. This literature review synthesizes Scopus and Web of Science indexed research to evaluate an integrated geo-hydrological approach for sustainable water development. The analysis integrates geology, lithology, geomorphology, hydrogeology, and socio-economic dimensions including population distribution,…
Emulsion Paint Formulation from Black Seed Powder/Soya Bean Oil Copolymer Binder
Abstract: The study focused on creating a water-based paint using a locally accessible pigment (black seed powder) and soya bean oil. Soya bean oil’s hydrophobicity is incorporated into the paint matrix. The physical and mechanical qualities of the developed emulsion paint were tested. Results were positive for tackiness, stability, blistering, flexibility, and chemical resistance. Physical parameters…
Investigation on the Comparison of the Physical Properties of Stimulants for Petroleum Hydrocarbon Remediation in Soil
Abstract: Crude oil pollution is a major environmental concern that can cause significant damage to soil ecosystems. Bioremediation, a natural process in which microorganisms degrade pollutants, has emerged as a promising approach for the remediation of crude oil-contaminated soil. Grape leaf powder (Vitis Vinifera), a readily available and inexpensive organic material, has been shown to stimulate…
Proximate Analysis and Functional Activities of African Pear Fruit (Dacryodes edulis) Grown in Makurdi, North Central Nigeria
Abstract: Dacryodes edulis (African Pear Fruit) is an indigenous edible fruit that is used for both food and medicine in North Central Nigeria. The nutritional composition and functional properties of Dacryodes edulis were studied using standard analytical techniques. The fruits were analyzed for Physico-chemical characteristics (pH, Titratable acidity and Total insoluble solids), proximate analysis (Crude protein,…
Smart Materials for a Sustainable Environment
Abstract: The accelerating pace of industrialization, urbanization, and population growth has exerted unprecedented stress on the natural environment. Consequently, worldwide issues including climate change, resource depletion, environmental contamination, and energy scarcity have intensified significantly. In response to these concerns, sustainable development has emerged as a fundamental framework, seeking to balance present-day requirements with the long-term needs…
Synthesis and Evaluation of Antifungal Properties of 2-((4-((6phenylimidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole-2-yl)methoxy)phenoxy)methyl)-6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4] thiadiazole Derived from Hydroquinone
Abstract: Thiadiazole, a heterocyclic core, has garnered significant interest from chemists seeking novel therapeutic agents. The synthetic route for the target compounds is depicted in Scheme 1. The compounds were synthesized with favorable yields through the condensation of hydroquinone with various organic reagents. They underwent physical characterization and were analyzed using spectroscopic methods, including infrared (FTIR)…
Synthesis, Characterization, Antibacterial Study and Study of Bio Properties for New Analytical Reagents
Abstract: Due to the widespread pollution of heavy metals in water and environmental samples, the pollution levels have increased. Therefore, researchers have begun working on various environmental solutions to improve the levels of these elements in environmental samples. One such solution is the preparation of analytical reagents as coordination agents and ligands to shield the elements…
Transportable Water and Air Quality Monitoring Equipment Karishma
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to provide a broad summary of recent discoveries, identify important constraints, and suggest future lines of inquiry. In recent years, pollution has surpassed the environment's bearing capacity. There hasn't been much progress despite the installation of multiple pollution-control initiatives. Natural resources are occasionally exploited by unavoidable waste discharges, despite…
