Biodiesel is a clean-burning, oxygenated monoalkyl-ester fuel manufactured from natural, renewable sources like new/used vegetable oils and animal fats. The injection time has a significant impact on engine performance, particularly pollutant emissions. The purpose of this research is to see if Chlorellea Emersonii methyl ester (CEME) can be used as a fuel alternative in a compression ignition (CI) engine. The CEME was synthesised using a transesterification technique, and the engine parameters (performance, emission, and combustion) were investigated using 20 (v/v%) biodiesel blends at retard, standard, and advanced injection timings (IT). In this study an alteration in injection timing were done with TRC and BF combination. Other than conventional injection timing of 23o bTDC three more injection timing included ie 24o bTDC (advance IT), 21o bTDC (retarded IT) and 22o bTDC (retarded IT). Outcome results showed 22o bTDC(retarded IT) with 2.12% improvement in BTE followed by 24.5%,35.15% and 90.2% reduction in HC,CO and smoke.

The present work attempts to synthesize Zn doped Bismuth Oxide thin films deposited effectively on to micro glass substrates at different bath temperatures by Chemical Bath Route. The films were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDAX and optical analysis. XRD analysis reveals that all the films belong to monoclinic in polycrystalline structure with preferred orientation along (012). The optical energy gap values of Zn doped Bi2O3 thin films were in the range 2.21- 2.81 eV which depend on deposition temperatures. Zn - Bi2O3 thin films can be used in photo voltaic cells, gas sensors, optical coatings, flat-panel displays, micro electronics, light emitting diodes, batteries, super capacitors and fuel cell industries.

Micro jet atmospheric (MPJ) plasma was first utilized to create nano-sized crystals. Nanosized particles may have advantageous characteristics such as better internal quality and dissolving rates of the product compared to traditional crystalline goods. A nebulizer system sprays an aerosol solution into plasma by use of a carrier gas in a cold plasma crystal (argon). The plasma warms and loads the droplets causing solvent and columbic fission evaporation, and then the nucleation and crystal formation start within the limited volume given by the tiny drops. This produces nano-sized crystals. MPJ was used to establish the operating parameters for producing nano-sized ZnSe material crystals using electron microscope transmitting and X-ray powder diffraction tests as well as sensitivity testing have been carried out. Sensitivity tests showed lower friction sensitivity for the nano-scale product, suggesting a better internal quality of the crystal product.

An emerging field of tissue engineering combines medical, biological, and engineering principles to produce tissue-engineered constructs that regenerate, preserve, or slightly enhance the functions of natural tissue. By creating structures that replicate the extracellular matrix, oxygen and nutrients will be transmitted more effectively while releasing toxins during tissue repair, all while creating mature tissues. Three-dimensional nanostructures for tissue engineering have been the focus of numerous studies over the last few years. Electrospinning is a highly effective technique in this category. The last few decades, numerous nanofibrous scaffolds have been developed for tissue repair and restoration. Nanofibrous meshes as tissue engineered scaffolds for various tissues, such as neural, cardiovascular, skin, cartilage, and tendon are discussed in this article. In addition, the current article discusses recent advancements in tissue regeneration as well as challenges associated with electrospinning.

Decolourisation and degradation of azo dye Orange G was carried out by using the solarassisted photodegradation process using H2O2 and the effect of various parameters on decolourisation and degradation were analysed. Dye solutions of concentration 100 mg/L treated with 30% H2O2 were taken in 250 ml conical flasks and they were exposed to sunlight in the lux intensity range of 60,000 to 90,000 lux to study its decolourisation and degradation. Effect of various parameters on decolourisation and degradation of dye like the effect of initial pH, the effect of initial H2O2concentration, the effect of initial dye concentration, the effect of additives like chloride and dihydrogen phosphate of concentration 1 M, the effect of solar light intensity, the effect of temperature were studied as kinetic studies. Optimum pH was found to be 11 and optimum H2O2 concentration was found to be 250 mM to achieve 100 % decolourisation of the dye within the shortest time duration of 1.5 hours. Kinetic studies done on the effect of pH and the effect of H2O2 concentration also provided evidence for that. Effect of chloride ion has lead to enhancement in the rate of decolourisation whereas addition of dihydrogen phosphate ion inhibits the rate of decolourisation. An increase in solar light intensity has lead to increase in the rate of decolourisation. An increase in temperature has lead to increase in the rate of decolourisation. UV spectrum was taken for the dye and degraded dye to study the extent of degradation of the dye. COD and TOC removal were also studied to know about the mineralisation of the dye.

The effectiveness of MgO nanostructures for removing indigo carmine (IC) dye from an aqueous solution is demonstrated in this article. The nanomaterials were synthesized using MgCl2.2H2O and NaOH in a medium containing Pimpinella anisum extract. The microstructure of the samples was investigated using XRD, SEM, EDX, BET, and FTIR. Additionally, the IC dye uptake and adsorption processes were investigated using a MgO sorbent. To synthesize the MgO1 and MgO2 materials, the adsorption kinetics of IC dye, the starting pH of IC dye solution, and contact time were optimized. The maximal theoretical adsorption efficiency of the MgO1 and MgO2 adsorbents for IC dye was 559.2 and 492.6 mg/g, respectively, according to the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model. Further, recycling the MgO1 adsorbent proved conceivable due to its ease of collection and re-use following five adsorption-regeneration cycles.

The presented article is devoted to the synthesis and analysis of flakes graphene oxide obtained by the Hammers method. The synthesized flakes graphene oxide was studied using SEM, EDX, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, element analysis, temperature dependent of resistance and IR spectroscopy. As a result of calculating the results of X-ray analysis according to the Debye-Scherer’s formula, the thickness of graphite flakes was about 12,9nm and the number of layers was 38. The result of the Raman analysis show that high quality flakes grapheme oxide was obtained. Based on the result of elementary analysis of grapheme oxide mass, the C/O ratio was determined to be 1,42. The grapheme layers inside the sample were 3,31nm thick and 14,8nm long by scanning electron microscope. The temperature variation of the resistance was determined. IR spectroscopy shows the results of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the infrared range by atomic groups of reduced grapheme oxide and the excitation of the molecule by light quanta. When a molecule is irradiated with infrared radiation, it is shown that only quantum absorption quantities are formed according to the frequencies of the molecules.

We reported the synthesis of phosphorus doped ZnO nanoparticles for a concentration of P ranging from 2 to 8%by a sol–gel processing technique. The structural and optical properties of these nanoparticles were characterised by different techniques. The structural study confirms the presence of hexagonal wurtzite phase with average crystallite size around 30nm. However, the optical study was shown a high absorption in the UV range and an important reflectance in the visible range. The optical band gap of P-ZnO samples were varied between 3.32 and 3.28 eV. The aim of this work is to study the effect of phosphorus doping on the structural, morphological and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles.

Water is a life-giving and energising substance. People all around the world are struggling due to the deficiency of fresh and hygienic potable water. Clean water is a significant resource for human civilization on Earth and one of the most crucial requirements for all living species to survive. Contamination of water due to synthetic dye is one of the most serious threats to human health. The photocatalystspoly(azomethine), ZnO, TiO2, poly(azomethine)/TiO2 and poly(azomethine)/ZnO were synthesized and used to remove cationic and anionic dyes from contaminated water.The band gap of photocatalysts, reaction kinetics, isotherm studies and thermodynamic studies were assessed and the photocatalytic studies revealed that polyazomethine/ZnO and polyazomethine/TiO2 nanocomposites had significantly higher photocatalytic activity and are more efficient at removing dyes from effluents than PAZ, ZnO, and TiO2 in natural sunlight.
