Evaluation of Free Radical Scavenging Behaviour and Antioxidant Activity in Various Citrus Fruits

ABSTRACT The present study aims to evaluate the in vitro free radical scavenging behavour and antioxidant potential from the fruits of four different Indian medicinal plants (Punica granatum, Citrus limetta, Prunus armeniaca and Syzygium cumini). The free radical scavenging behavior and antioxidant potential of the aqueous extract of fruits of four different Indian medicinal plants […]

Reduction in Harmonic Contents for Single-Phase Five-Level PWM Inverter

ABSTRACT A single-phase five-level PWM inverter is presented to alleviate harmonic components of the output voltage and the load current. Operational principles with switching functions are analyzed. Two reference signals identical to each other with an offset equivalent to the amplitude of the triangular carrier signal were used to generate PWM signals for the switches. […]

Phytoremediation of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) by Tagetes patula

ABSTRACT Explosives are an important category of environmental contaminants. 2,4,6- trinitrotoluene (TNT), the most widely used high explosive is a hazardous compound and also is a possible human carcinogen. TNT contamination is common in areas adjacent to manufacturing sites/firing/training ranges. Thus it is imperative to remediate the soil and wastewater contaminated with TNT. Phytoremediation using […]

Maximum Depth of Cut for Borosilicate Glass using Abrasive Waterjet Technique

ABSTRACT In recent years many new materials have been developed. These materials include titanium alloys, hast alloys, nimonic alloys, composites etc. These materials are used in space crafts, nuclear reactors, special cutting tools, turbine injectors etc. These new materials cannot be accurately machined by the conventional machining processes. Abrasive waterjet cutting is superior to many […]

Catalytic Synthesis of Isopropyl Benzene from Di isopropyl Benzene using Triflic Acid Catalyst at Room Temperature

ABSTRACT The significance of isopropyl benzene has made isopropylation reactions the most widely studied using a wide range of catalysts such as Lewis acids (metal halides) i.e. aluminum chloride, and inorganic acids (Bronsted acids) i.e. sulphuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, supported phosphoric acid, and zeolite. Therefore, in order to produce higher yield of isopropyl benzene from […]
