Tricopper Clusters as pMMO mimic for conversion of methane to methanol at ambient conditions (E3OW), (Year : 2018)
|
It is imperative to utilize the enormous worldwide reserves of methane (CH4) as effective utilization of this valuable resource is not only economically beneficial, but also environmentally advantageous (methane is a major contributor to global warming not only next to CO2 in percent contribution, but 23 times more detrimental on a molecular basis). Therefore, direct conversion of methane to easily transportable and commercially useful product like methanol has long been a goal of the chemical industry. Methanol is well established as a valuable commodity, both itself as a transportable fuel and as a source for derived chemicals, including H2. The direct conversion of methane to methanol has long been one of the “holy grails” of organic chemistry. However, the C−H in CH4 is extremely inert because of the high bond-dissociation energy (105 kcal/mole), so the chemistry is challenging. Accordingly, there has been considerable interest in developing molecular catalysts as well as economic and efficient chemical processes for this conversion. To be practical, the new catalysts or processes must be efficient and able to operate as close to ambient conditions as possible, involve only a small number of steps, and generate minimal waste by-products. There is currently considerable interest in developing chemical catalysts to harness the abundant supply of methane on our planet for various industrial applications. It is proposed to develop tri-copper complexes capable of mediating efficient oxidation of methane to methanol under ambient temperatures and pressures which is a mimic for pMMO enzyme performing the same function.

Rising High through Hygiene Management RHYTHM, (Year : 2017)
|
The menstrual waste load generated in India is estimated to be- a staggering 9,000 tons a month – enough to cover a landfill spread over 24 hectares. Menstrual hygiene management is a big problem for women and girls in as the sanitary pads are expensive. Other than the use of expensive sanitary pads, lack of proper disposal collection & treatment options in both urban & rural areas is one of the biggest problem in handling the municipal waste. Environmental & the health effects associated with the uses of sanitary napkins is mostly related to the exposure to dioxins & Furans with sanitary napkins.
