    Various wastewater treatment techniques are being introduced to minimize the degradation of pollutants. The photocatalytic process is a promising technique for its best possible use of solar energy and being eco-friendly to the environment. Photocatalytic techniques with chemical approaches, nanotechnology, and semi-conductors are considered as sustainable and cost-effective methods. ZnO, a wide-bandgap semiconductor, has garnered considerable interest owing to its elevated photocatalytic efficacy, affordability, low toxicity, and ecological compatibility. However, its actual implementation has been constrained by issues including strong electron–hole coupling and restricted visible light absorption. Recent advancements in ZnO-based photocatalysts aim to overcome these limits by many tactics, such as metal/non-metal doping, heterojunction creation, surface alteration, and nanotechnologies. This review focused on ZnO-based photocatalyst used in dye degradation. Advancements in photocatalytic process as well as hybrid technique are discussed for better efficiency and stability. Various factors like catalyst dosage, pH, temperature, and dye concentration on the degradation process affecting the photocatalytic processes are discussed. Furthermore, the process is easy, non-toxic, and can be associated with a zero waste discharge policy for industrial applications. Challenges are summarized in terms of scalability, health, and safety in addition to fulfilling the growing need for uncontaminated water for multipurpose use. Despite the sustainable processes for mitigation of wastewater, India continues to experience contamination due to its complex behavior.
  • Used oil disposal

    Lubricant Technology Fundamentals and Applications, 2025
    Effective methods for handling, managing, reusing, and recycling used oil have been a critical aspect of environmental management, with an emphasis on sustainable practices. Recycling and re-refining have emerged as prominent approaches for managing used oil. The recycled oil has been employed as a lubricant in various applications, thereby reducing the necessity for new oil production and conserving valuable resources. Re-refining, on the other hand, has involved an extensive process of removing contaminants, additives, and impurities from used oil, resulting in the production of high-quality base oil when blended with additives. The implementation of these effective oil disposal methods and practices has been vital for safeguarding the environment and promoting sustainability. Responsible collection, storage, recycling, and re-refining techniques have all been part of the strategy to minimize the adverse impact of used oil on ecosystems and human health. By adopting these disposal methods and promoting the reuse and recycling of used oil, we have contributed to the preservation of natural resources and the reduction of pollution.

    Iet Conference Proceedings, 2025
    Textiles, cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals industries are major sources of synthetic organic dyes due to their stability, cost-effectiveness, and vibrant colors. However, their widespread usage contributes significantly to environmental pollution, particularly in aquatic ecosystems. Conventional wastewater treatment methods, including adsorption, membrane separation, and Biosorption process are often expensive with limited efficiency and generate hazardous by-products. Application of Artificial intelligence (AI) including artificial neural networks (ANNs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and support vector machines (SVMs), offer promising solutions for optimizing dye wastewater treatment. Hybrid techniques integrating adsorption with biodegradation or membrane separation further improve dye removal performance. This review highlights the role of AI in adsorption technologies for sustainable wastewater treatment. It has been shown that ANN based model approach is used by most of the researcher due to its easy to use, more accuracy.
  • IMPROVEMENT OF THE FLOW BEHAVIOUR OF PARAFFIN OIL WITH THE HELP OF NATURAL DERIVED POLYMER
    Jayvirsinh Jadeja, Akshit Mendpara, Preet Makwana, Het Patel, Prince R. Chauhan, et al.
    Iet Conference Proceedings, 2025
    Wax deposition poses a major challenge in crude oil transportation, particularly in offshore fields where low temperatures lead to pipeline blockages and production losses. Chemical additives such as Pour Point Depressants (PPDs) and Flow Improvers (FIs) have been used to incerase crude oil flowability. This study aims paraffinic-based mineral oil and investigates the effectiveness of a castor oil-based additive, Cold Flow Improver (COMAE), synthesized through transesterification and polymerization. The pour point and cloud point of paraffin oil were recorded at -21°C and -17°C, respectively. With 4.8 mL COMAE, the pour point decreased to -27°C and cloud point -24°C, demonstrating optimal performance. Viscosity analysis showed a 14.72% reduction at 20°C and 36.32% at 30°C with 4.8. mL COMAE. The paraffin inhibition efficiency (PIE) increased from 1.8% at 20°C to 9.58% with 1.2 mL COMAE, while a 4.8 mL dosage resulted in a maximum PIE of 15.06% at 20°C and 19.63% at 30°C. The results confirm that COMAE effectively reduces wax deposition, enhancing paraffin oil flowability. This study highlights the potential of bio-based additives as a sustainable alternative to conventional chemical flow improvers in crude oil transportation.
