(1) Experimental analysis of separation of penicillin-g from fermentation broth by reactive extraction
· The Equilibrium constants, Distribution coefficient & Degree of extraction of penicillin G are investigated by using amines as carriers.
· Further effects of initial acid concentration with various mixing ratio of extractant and diluent was studied
· Calibration curve for Pen-G was obtained
· Diluent n-Heptane was found to be more efficient than 1-Decanol
(2) Proposal for filing registration of BITS library as Green Building
· Reviewed case studies of Green Buildings & related Certifications
· Presented proposal for filing registration of BITS Library as Green Building (Gold Certification)
(3) Biofiltration and Biodegradable studies of Chlorinated Hydrocarbon
· Materials needed & enrichment procedure. Fabrication of isothermal biofilter column
· The biofilter column was fabricated to carry out the experiments in the isothermal conditions.
· The biofilter column was tested to maintain various temperatures and results achieved were very sound. The column was then tested for the removal of DCM and leachate analysis was carried out.
· The leachate formed showed the formation of the amide group.
(4) Fabrication of Rotating Packed Bed
· A Biofilter rotating packed bed column fabricated for biodegradation studies.
· A rotator was fixed with the battery for rotation of fans inside the column under various rotor speeds.
· The temperature and profiles of equipment were verified.
