Studies in the hydrolysis of cellulose using cellulase in imidazolium based ionic liquid
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)
Ionic liquids are the modern day revelations as a green solvent. These solvents have found many applications in biofuel strategy. The cellulose pretreatment using ionic liquid is currently being studied for future biofuels ...
Effect of arsenic on the growth and physiology of triticum aestivum L. seedings
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)
The effects of Arsenic (As) were investigated on four varieties of T. aestivum viz. PBW 343, PBW 550, PBW 621 and HD 2967 to elucidate the toxicity of As on morphological, physiological, biochemical and antioxidant processes ...
Inhibitory effect of essential oil of ocimum sanctum l. against pesticide induced genotoxicity
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)
The increase in pesticide contamination in the environment is of great concern due to its strong association with genetic material. The plants are considered as natural drugs to decline such toxic effects. In present study, ...
Phytotoxic potential of essential oil from leaves of eucalyptus tereticornis against rice (orza sativa) and its weeds, echinochloa grus-galli and cyperus rotundus
(Central University of Punjab, 2016)
The present study was undertaken to explore the phytotoxic potential of essential oil from Eucalyptus tereticornis against two major weeds of rice viz. Echinochloa crus-galli and Cyperus rotundus. The effect of essential ...
To study the effect of BT (Bacillus thruingiensis) cotton cultivation on soil health
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)
The impact of transgenic Bacillus thruingiensis (Bt) cotton cultivation on soil enzymes and physico-chemical parameters of soil were investigated. Soil samples were collected from surface (0-20 cm depth) of agricultural ...
Adsorption studies for the removal of hexavalent chromium using fly ash of waste to energy power plant
(Central University of Punjab, 2013)
Chromium is the most common pollutant discharged in industrial effluent and
reported to be present beyond permissible limits causing various health problems
like carcinogenicity. Therefore, it must be removed from industrial ...
Influence of Fertilizer industry wastewater on the germination behavior of barley (Hordeum vulgare) grains
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)
Industries generate enormous amount of wastewater. Increased water crisis problems, coupled with stringent regulatory standards for wastewater disposal has necessitated the need for better wastewater treatment options. ...
Thermo-chemical decomposition of wheat crop residue in presence of fly--ash and its application for soil amelioration
(Central University of Punjab, 2013)
In the present work, pyrolysis of wheat crop residue is studied in the presence and absence of fly-ash at three different pyrolysis temperatures (viz., 2500C, 3500C and 4500C) with a temperature hold time of 1 to 4 hours. ...
Evaluation of monocrotophos residues in soils of bathinda, punjab and its viodegradation through microbial isolates of contaminated soil
(Central University of Punjab, 2013)
The soil samples for the study were randomly collected from ten different villages (Bhagibander, Dhadde, Gurusar Sahnewala, Jajjal, Jassi, Malkana, Mahinangal, Sangat Kalan, Talwandi sabo, Teona Pujarian) of Bathinda. The ...
Studies in the synthesis and chromium adsorption behaviour of microcrystalline cellulose immobilized zero valent iron nanoparticles (MCC-nZVI)
(Central University of Punjab, 2014)
In this study iron nanoparticles (nZVI) are used for the chromium removal from water. nZVI are synthesized in ionic liquid [BMIM]Cl and water, binary solution by borohydride reduction method. For stability of the nZVI, it ...
