This study aims to develop and optimize the iodohexane production process based on renewable biomass, is rice straw. The process was developed through three main stages: cellulose extraction, conversion of cellulose to sorbitol using MnLaFeO₃ photonanocatalytic, and conversion of sorbitol to iodohexane using two types of reactants—HI and a combination of NaI, H₂SO₄, HCOOH, and ethanol. The main control variables in the sorbitol conversion process are the type of reactant, reaction temperature, and reaction time. The experimental results showed that the use of a combination of NaI, H₂
Read MoreRice straw valorization through green-chemistry-based photocatalysis offers a cleaner and safer alternative to conventional high-pressure hydrogenation for sorbitol production. This study develops and optimizes a MnZnFe₂O₄ photonanocatalytic process under UV irradiation to convert cellulose into sorbitol. Three key process variables—catalyst mass (0.5–1.0 g), UV energy (60–125 J/s), and exposure time (30–60 min)—were evaluated and optimized using Response Surface Methodology, Genetic Algorithm, and Particle Swarm Optimization. The optimum operating conditions were achieved at 1.0
Read MoreGroundwater quality in some villages of Thoubal and Kakching districts, Manipur, India, were assessed to check viability for irrigation during the 2024 pre-monsoon season. Twenty groundwater samples were examined for physicochemical parameters, including total alkalinity (TA), electrical conductivity (EC), total hardness (TH), major cations Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cl- and anions SO42-, CO32- and HCO3-. Parameters assessed included Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC), Percent Sodium (%Na+), Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Magnesium Hazard (MH), Kelly’s Ratio (KR), Permeability Indices (PI), Potential
Read MoreThe present study was designed to evaluate the pharmacognostical characteristics, phytochemical potential, antioxidant activity, and anti-diabetic enzyme inhibitory activity of Picea smithiana (Wall.) Boiss., with particular emphasis on its bark extracts. Pharmacognostical investigations, including microscopic examination, revealed characteristic gymnosperm features such as thick cuticular epidermis, well-developed sclerenchymatous hypodermis, resin canals, tracheid-based xylem, and distinct medullary rays, confirming the authenticity of the plant material. Extractive value analysis indicated
Read MoreNAMI-A (imidazolium trans-[tetrachloro(dimethylsulfoxide)(imidazole)ruthenate (III)]) is one of the well-investigated ruthenium-based anti-cancer compounds. Contrary to the classical platinum compounds, NAMI-A revealed low cytotoxicity towards primary tumours but selective antimetastatic properties in various preclinical models. Due to its distinct pharmacological properties, including rapid ligand exchange, protein and extracellular matrix interactions, tumour microenvironment modulation, and anti-angiogenic properties, NAMI-A entered clinical development in combination with gemcitabine.
