Student Name : Rajesh Kumar Kodi Title of the Paper : Activated bentonite clay–based dry‐wash purification of waste, cooking oil biodiesel in comparison with a wet washing process Research Description : Biodiesel obtained by transesterification of vegetable oils and fats is an alternative for petro-diesel fuel. Purification of biodiesel is one of the crucial steps in the production of biodiesel. The conventional wet washing of biodiesel involves huge quantities of water, energy, and time. Therefore, dry washing was carried out with raw bentonite clay, sulfuric acid–activated bentonite clay, and calcinated bentonite clay. Bentonite clay of 200 mesh size, activated with 0.5 M sulfuric acid mediated dry washing, showed best results in the removal of soap residue and free fatty acids with stirring for 60 min at 60 °C temperature. The comparative studies with wet washing using bore well water, reverse osmosis water, and distilled water showed that the sulfuric acid activated bentonite to be efficient in the purification of biodiesel.

Student Name : Shoaib Sharief Title of the Paper : Concentration of C-Phycocyanin from Spirulina Platensis using forward osmosis membrane process Research Description : Forward osmosis is a novel membrane process used for removal of water from dilute aqueous solutions and concentrating them, products such as liquid foods and natural colors can be concentrated while retaining organoleptic and nutritional properties. The concentration of a natural colorant called C-Phycocyanin (C-PC) extract from a Cyanobacteria Spirulina platensis was explored by forward osmosis process. The effect of various parameters such as change in Feed and Osmotic Agent (OA) flow rate (25–125 mL/min), OA concentration (1–6 M NaCl) was studied during the concentration of C-PC by using two different modules having different membrane area for forward osmosis. An attempt was made in order to obtain a food grade C-PC. The extract of crude C-PC content was concentrated from 0.288 mg mL−1 initial concentration to 0.313 mg mL−1.

Student Name : H. N. Shalini Title of the Paper : Forward osmosis membrane concentration of raw sugarcane juice Research Description : Conventional thermal evaporation and pressure driven process that is reverse osmosis are widely used to concentrate liquid foods, but they are highly energy intensive and expensive. Forward osmosis which is promising membrane process is extensively studied as an alternative process to concentrate liquid foods. This paper focuses on comparison of thermally concentrated and forward osmosis membrane processes to concentrate sugarcane juice. Forward osmosis (FO) stands next in cutting edge membrane technology to concentrate the sugarcane juice to syrup. The difference in osmotic pressure across the membrane is the driving force for FO, wherein the water from sugarcane juice is transferred to the other side that is to draw solution through the membrane at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature.

Student Name : Bipin R Sagar Title of the Paper : Production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic biomass Research Description : This study deals with the use of renewable lignocellulosic biomass to synthesis ethanol as an alternative energy source to crude oil using a low-cost feasible process. Lignocellulosic biomass usually contains hemicellulose and cellulose which could be converted to fermentable sugar like glucose. Renewable agricultural byproducts like sugarcane bagasse, wheat straw, water hyacinth, ragi, and rice straw were selected for producing ethanol. They were pretreated with mild, dilute acid using 2% H2SO4 (v/v), followed by enzymatic saccharification using locally isolated fungal species Aspergillus niger to convert complex polysaccharide into simple sugar. Optimization of reaction condition was carried out with the help of chemically predefined media at temperature of 38 C and pH 4.8. The reduced sugars were estimated using the dinitrosalicylic acid method. Fermentation was carried using yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by stationary fermentation method at temperature of 35 C under anaerobic conditions. Produced ethanol was estimated using NaOH-Iodine precipitation method. Maximum ethanol yield was obtained with sugarcane bagasse around 11.90 g/lit followed by wheat straw 9.56 g/lit, rice straw 8.84 g/lit, ragi straw 7.01 g/lit, and water hyacinth 6.19 g/lit of ethanol in fermentation.
