Recycling is an effective technology for minimization of process cost. Recycling of biocatalyst along with recycling of used oil is a new technique for the preparation of alternative fuel Preparation of alternative fuel through cost minimization is supposed to be the most challenging job in the present academicians and researchers. Biodiesel is one of the most important alternative fuels in the near future and it attracts considerable attention as environment friendly, renewable and non-toxic fuel. In the present research investigation, waste cooking oil (WCO) is utilized as cheap raw materials for this purpose and enzyme recycling technology has been adopted to prepare biodiesel. Recycling of enzyme is a novel technology which can reduce the process cost. In our study, nonspecific enzyme Novozyme 435 (Candida antarctica) is utilized and recycled ten times for the transesterification reaction of WCO and methanol maintaining definite reaction parameters like alcohol to oil molar ratio, reaction temperature, mixing intensity and biocatalyst concentration. The physical properties of WCO methyl ester and diesel fuel have been compared and it shows significant results. So recycling of enzyme for the production of alternative fuel from recycled oil can be utilized to mitigate scarcity of non-renewable fuel in the future world.
Depleting nature of nonrenewable energy sources and continuous environmental tribulations make the mankind to think differently regarding alternative renewable energy sources. In this regard, present research investigation contributes biodiesel from canola oil deodorizer distillate (CODD) using Lipase AY Amano 30 (Candida rugosa) and Novozyme 40013 (Candida antarctica) in the presence of methanol. Initially the neutral glycerides present in CODD were hydrolysed using lipase Amano AY 30 in the presence of water. The hydrolysed CODD was then esterified with methanol using non-specific immobilized enzyme NS 40013 for the production of biodiesel. The characteristics of final product were compared with diesel fuel and it showed good results. This bioprocess technology using biohydrolysis and bioesterification is a novel technology for biodiesel production from cheap raw materials like CODD.
Lipid profiling and corresponding biodiesel quality of mortierella isabellina...zhenhua82
Four lipid extraction methods (Bligh & Dyer, hexane & isopropanol, dichloromethane & methanol, and hexane) were evaluated to extract lipid from freeze- and oven-dried fungus Mortierella isabellina ATCC42613. The highest lipid yield (41.8%) was obtained from Bligh & Dyer extraction on the oven-dried fungal biomass with a methanol:chloroform:water ratio of 2:1:0.8. Other lipid extraction methods on both freeze- and oven-dried samples had lipid yields ranging from 20.7% to 35.9%. Non-polar lipid was the main lipid class (more than 90% of total lipid) in M. isabellina. Regarding fatty acid profile, there was no significant difference on fatty acid concentration between different drying and extraction methods. Estimation of biodiesel fuel properties using correlative models further demonstrated that the fungal biodiesel is a good alternative to fossil diesel.

Synthesis and Characterization of Different Molecular Weights PolyacrylamideIOSRJAC
Polyacrylamides of varying molecular weights (very low, low, medium, high and very high) were synthesized using free radical polymerization and characterized by Infra Red (IR) spectroscopy, viscosity measurements, glass transition temperature (Tg) measurement and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Thioglycolic acid and hydrogen peroxide were used as initiators to synthesis very low and low molecular weight polyacrylamides respectively. Molecular weights (medium, high and very high) polyacrylamides were synthesized using potassium persulfate and N,N,N',N'- tetramethylethylenediaminesystem as initiators. The synthesis of medium, high and very high molecular weight polyacrylamides were achieved by increasing the concentration of acrylamide monomer. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) of polyacrylamides showed strong absorption at wave number 1655 cm-1 due to the presence of primary amide band. The results also showed that the increase in the intrinsic viscosity and glass transition temperature were proportional to the increase in molecular weight of polyacrylamide. On the other hand it can be seen an increase in molecular weight caused a decrease of weight loss %.

Anaerobic Treatment of Textile Wastewater using EGSBIJSRD
In this study expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor has been used to investigate the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD), and color of textile wastewater. Synthetic Textile wastewater was treated in an EGSB reactor seeded with non granular anaerobic sludge from UASB reactor treating sugar mill wastewater of Badagandi sugar mill at Badagandi village, Bagalkot district, Karnataka, India and active septic tank. The initial volatile suspended solid concentration was 20.40 g/L. The study was carried out at ambient temperature 29ºC to 37ºC in the laboratory scale reactors of 8.4 L effective volume. Reactor was fed with macro and micro nutrients. Successful reactor startup with granulation was achieved within 13 days of operation using Chitosan as polymer. During startup the hydraulic retention times (HRT) was kept constant for 12 hrs. A maximum COD removal efficiency of 89.95% was achieved at organic loading rate (OLR) of about 8 KgCOD/m3/d. And the maximum bio gas production was 20.4 l/d. During operation period synthetic textile wastewater was fed step by step with increasing concentration of 25%, 50% and 75% of influent COD (5000 mg/L) respectively. Loading was increased by reducing HRT to 6 hrs, 3 hrs, 1.5 hrs and 1 hr respectively. Results indicated that anaerobic treatment of textile wastewater was possible with the supplementation of an external carbon source in the form of glucose (600mg/L). The corresponding maximum COD and color removals were 78.4% and 69% respectively for HRT of 1.5 hrs and OLR of 80 Kg COD/m3/d at ambient temperature.

Statistical Modeling and Optimization of Biodiesel Production from Azadiracht...IJAEMSJORNAL
In this work, statistical modeling and optimization of biodiesel production from Azadirachta Indica(neem) using co-solvent technique via a two-step transesterification process was carried out. Neem oil was extracted from neem seeds and properties such as moisture content, specific gravity, acid value, saponification value and iodine value were determined. The experimental design used was Central Composite Design. The range of factor levels used for the Central Composite Design were reaction temperature (30°C to 46°C), catalyst amount (0.8% to 1.2%, w/w), reaction time (20 to 40min) and methanol-to-oil molar ratio (5:1 to 9:1). The co-solvents used were methanol and diethyl ether. The co-solvent-to-methanol volume ratio for all the experimental runs was kept constant at 1:1. Also the biodiesel produced was characterized for some important properties including acid value, specific gravity, saponification value, iodine value, cetane number, ester value, kinematic viscosity, flash point, pour point and cloud point. Optimized biodiesel yield of 84.77% was obtained for reaction time of 35 min, catalyst amount of 1.10g, reaction temperature of 34°C, and oil-to-methanol molar ratio of 6:1. The cetane number (51.733), specific gravity (0.8881g/cm3), flash point (134oC) and kinematic viscosity (5.86mm2/s) of the produced biodiesel met the ASTM specifications. The results of characterization of the biodiesel revealed that biodiesel can be produced at lower reaction conditions and with comparable fuel property with biodiesel produced using conventional methods.
Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) and karanja oil have been identified for the comparative study of production of renewable energy sources i.e. biodiesel as well as physico-chemical properties of biodiesel for its potentiality. Enzyme Novozyme 435 (Candida antarctica) is used as biocatalyst (8%) for the conversion in both the cases with 5:1 molar ratio of alcohol to oil for 8 hours with mixing intensity of 600 rpm at 550C. JCO shows higher conversion efficiency at these parameters than karanja oil. Biodiesels obtained from JCO and karanja oil are analysed based on physico-chemical properties like specific gravity, kinematic viscosity, density, calorific value, cetane number, flash point, cloud point and acid number. With regard to specific gravity, kinematic viscosity, density, calorific value and cetane number, the JCO biodiesel shows higher values than karanja biodiesel whereas flash point and cloud point of karanja biodiesel are higher than JCO biodiesel. With respect to the compositional analysis, JCO biodiesel contains 95.67% methyl ester but karanja biodiesel contains 92.57% methyl ester. Apart from this, triglycerides (TG), diglycerides (DG) and monoglycerides (MG) content of JCO and karanja oil biodiesel are 1.68%, 1.08%, 2.68% and 1.89%, 2.75% and 3.69% respectively.

Abstract:- Biodiesel is a mixture of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from a renewable lipid feedstock. It can be used as an alternative fuel as the fossil fuels are getting depleted day by day. Moreover the use of biodiesel leads to the substantial reduction in the pollution caused by PM, HC, CO etc. This paper consists of the production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil using alkaline catalysts NAOH and KOH and cosolvent acetone in the presence of methanol. Waste cooking oil is used because of its high oil content and abundant availability. This method used is co-solvent method.
GC-MS and FTIR analysis of bio-oil obtained from freshwater algae (spirogyra)...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— Algae are gaining broad consideration as a substitute renewable source of biomass for the manufacture of bioethanol, due to this reason categorized under the “third generation biofuels” .İn this work, GC-MS analysis and FTIR has been done of bio-oil obtained from fast pyrolysis of Freshwater Algae( Spirogyra ) in this paper we have shown a simple process of converting biomass of fresh water algae to bio-oil through pyrolysis and explained it with the help of graphs and tables. Pyrolysis is a thermal process for converting various biomasses , residues and wastes to produce high-energy-density fuels (bio-oil, biochar). The bio-oil was obtained in two step pyrolysis in which temperature of the system kept 25ºC and then increased up to 650ºC time by time. After pyrolysis these fractions were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and FTIR which show different peaks and data of different compounds and functional groups present in this bio-oil
Heterogeneous Transesterification of Luffa aegyptiaca Oil to BiodieselPremier Publishers
In the continuous desire to find suitable alternative, renewable and biodegradable source of oil for commercial diesel Luffa aegyptiaca oil was converted into biodiesel through transesterification reaction using heterogeneous hydrotalcite particles from MgO/Al2O3/Kaolin clay as catalyst and methanol as solvent at controlled reaction conditions. The characterization results of pure Luffa aegyptiaca oil and biodiesel samples was obtained and compared: moisture content 0.0045 %-0.0034 %, ash content 0.00 %-0.02 %, saponification value 194.5 - 61.43, acid value 9.65-0.144, freezing point 5.00 - 30.00 min, pour point 5.00-3.00 min, density 0.969 g/mL-0.889 g/mL, while the flash point gave 349 k-345 k, specific gravity 0.865 g/mL-0.851 g/mL, and viscosity 34.95 Nsm-2- 5.82 Nsm-2 accordingly. The catalyst sample (MgO/Al2O3/Kaolin clay) after characterized using X-Ray Diffractometer, showed promising surface activity and selectivity on both the calcined and uncalcined catalyst. The optimum transesterification reaction conditions was obtained at 333 k, 6 hours reaction time and 6% catalyst concentration. The reaction conditions had direct effect on percentage yield of the biodiesel product with maximum yield of 79.61 % obtained for untreated oil but 81.27 % for treated oil at 333 k, 3 hours reaction time and 2 % catalyst concentration. FT-IR spectra analysis of biodiesel oil revealed decrease in frequency band of the hydroxyl group (O-H) between 1780 cm-1 and 1700 cm-1 and its subsequent absence at 1730 cm-1. The Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometer composition for pure Luffa aegyptiaca oil and Biodiesel oil showed that free fatty acid was converted to fatty acid methyl esters. Thus, transesterification of Luffa aegyptiaca oil sample using MgO/Al2O3/Kaolin clay heterogeneous catalyst was a success.
Characterization of biodiesel produced by meth butanolysis of castor oileSAT Journals
Abstract Crude Castor oil was transesterified using methanol, mixtures of methanol and butanol in molar percentages and potassium hydroxide as catalyst. The optimum reaction conditions, based on the percentage yield of biodiesel, were 45 mins reaction time at 650C and 1.5w/w% catalyst. The alcohol/oil ratio and agitation rate were both held constant at 12:1 and 450rpm respectively throughout the process. The yield of biodiesel from castor oil at such optimum reaction conditions were 87.1%, 85.7 % and 81.7 for 100%, 95% and 90% methanol-butanol molar blends respectively. . The specific gravities at 150C were 0.898 and 0.902ml/g, kinematic viscosities at 400C varied from 6.4 to 7.8 cSt. The calorific values were between 10690 and 10708 cal/g and the flash points were found to be within the range 144 to 1500C. The standard specifications for biodiesel (ASTM D67651) show that the specific gravity, flash point and calorific value requirements were satisfied. The higher viscosity (above 6.0 cSt.) can be controlled by the use of additives. Alternatively, blending with petroleum diesel will lead to improvement of the flow properties of the biodiesel fuel. Keywords: Transesterification, Castor oil, methanol/butanol molar blend, Biodiesel yield.

This paper highlights the performance and combustion of a single cylinder four stroke diesel engine operated on blends of biodiesel produced from waste cooking oil. An additive Diethyl ether (DEE) has been added in three different proportions to B20 blended fuel to study the effect of additive on the performance and combustion of the diesel engine. Our results conclude that the break thermal efficiencies of the diesel engine show an increasing trend with both blended fuels and additive mixed blended fuels, slightly higher than the case of pure diesel fuel.
Comparative Ethanol Productivities of Two Different Recombinant Fermenting St...IJERA Editor
Production of biofuel such as ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass is a beneficial way to meet sustainability and energy security in the future. The main challenge in bioethanol conversion is the high cost of processing, in which enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation are the major steps. Among the strategies to lower processing costs are utilizing both glucose and xylose sugars present in biomass for conversion. An approach featuring enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation steps, identified as separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) was used in this work. Proposed solution is to use “pre-processing” technologies, including the thermal screw press (TSP) and cellulose-organic-solvent based lignocellulose fractionation (COSLIF) pretreatments. Such treatments were conducted on a widely available feedstock such as source separated organic waste (SSO) to liberate all sugars to be used in the fermentation process. Enzymatic hydrolysis was featured with addition of commercial available enzyme, Accellerase 1500, to mediate enzymatic hydrolysis process. On average, the sugar yield from the TSP and COSLIF pretreatments followed by enzymatic hydrolysis was remarkable at 90%. In this work, evaluation of the SSO hydrolysate obtained from COSLIF and enzymatic hydrolysis pretreaments on ethanol yields was compared by fermentation results with two different recombinant strains: Zymomonas mobilis 8b and Saccharomyces cerevisiae DA2416. At 48 hours of fermentation, ethanol yield was equivalent to 0.48g of ethanol produced per gram of SSO biomass by Z.mobilis 8b and 0.50g of ethanol produced per gram of SSO biomass by S. cerevisiae DA2416. This study provides important insights for investigation of the source-separated organic (SSO) waste on ethanol production by different strains and becomes a useful tool to facilitate future process optimization for pilot scale facilities.
Trisodium phosphate, TSP was utilized to valorize abundant glycerol to fine chemicals (Glycerol carbonate). The catalyst displayed superior stability and activity over nine times reuse. Hence, its strongly recommended for potential industrial application.

Watering plants during the correct time is very important due to scientific reasons. Both underwatering, as well as overwatering, can lead to the growth of unhealthy plants or in extreme cases, the death of the plant/tree. These issues which are the case with most self-gardeners and plant lovers can be solved using the smart irrigation technique. The main purpose of this innovation is to assist plant lovers to continue their passion to grow plants at home with ease. Smart irrigation system helps in monitoring the moisture level which majorly affects plant growth besides other factors such as sunlight, fertility of the soil, etc. The digital planting pot has been designed in a way that it effectively incorporates the idea of smart irrigation. Arduino Uno R3 has been used as the main chip in this project along with a few other components like a soil moisture sensor, relay, and water pump. This project requires coding to synchronize all the components, and function properly. A required test has been carried out to review the functioning of the mechanism. The project was tested by once using the soil with enough moisture in the pot and then the soil with the least moisture. Both times, it worked exactly how it was supposed to function. When the soil with the least moisture was tested, there was a clear indication of a low level of moisture and accordingly, the water pump got triggered to water the plant, and when the soil with enough moisture was tested, there was again the clear indication of the correct level of moisture and the water pump was inactive. All the readings which were displayed on the LCD were checked back and forth during the project. The outcomes were the same as expected. Hence, it shows that every component in this project is actively functioning and the whole project is effectively designed.

A new convenient and efficient route for the synthesis of two very important hydroxo-bridged stepped-cubane copper complexes viz: [Cu4(bpy)4Cl2(OH)4]Cl2.6H2O (1) and [Cu4(phen)4Cl2(OH)4]Cl2.6H2O (2) have been obtained. This synthetic route from the mononuclear CubpyCl2 complex is easier, more reproducible and afforded the complex in a much higher yield than the other two previously reported procedures which were equally serendipitously discovered. The purity and formation of the complexes were confirmed with elemental (C,H,N) analysis and the details of the UV-Vis, Fourier transform infrared, electrospray ionization mass spectra of both complexes and the single crystal X-ray crystallography of 1 are presented and discussed. X-ray crystallography confirms the absolute structure of the complexes. The complexes were formed via the connection of four copper atoms to four hydroxide bridging ligands and four bipyridyl ligands with two chloride ligands. There are two coordinate environments around two pairs of copper atoms (CuN2ClO2 and CuN2O3) and each copper atom is pentacoordinate with square pyramidal geometry.

Myogenic differentiation requires to be exactly explored for the effective treatment of fracture. The speed of healing is affected by skeletal muscle, linked to activation of specific myogenic transcription factors during the repair process. In previous study, we discovered that psoralen enhanced differentiation of osteoblast in primary mouse. In the current study, we show that psoralen stimulates myogenic differentiation through the secretion of factors to hone the quality of repair in fractured mice. 3-month old mice were treated with corn oil or psoralen followed by a tibial fracture surgery. Fractures were tested 7, 14, and 21 days respectively later by histology and images observation. Skeletal muscles including soleus muscle and posterior tibial muscle around the damaged bone were collected for quantitative real-time PCR, HE staining, as well as western blot. Daily treatment with psoralen at seven, fourteen days or twenty-one days improves protein or mRNA levels responsible for the whole myogenic differentiation process, makes the muscle fibers more tightly aligned, and promotes callus formation and development. This data shows that high levels of myogenic transcription factors in the process of fracture healing in mice foster the repair of damaged muscles, and indicates a pharmacological approach that targets myogenic differentiation to improve fracture repair. This also reflects the academic thought of "paying equal attention to both muscles and bones" in the prevention and treatment of fracture healing.
The current pandemic has generated the search for new reliable and economic alternatives for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, which produces the COVID-19 disease, one of the recommendations by the World Health Organization, is the detection of the virus by RT-qPCR methods from upper respiratory tract samples. The discomfort of the pharyngeal nasopharyngeal swab described by patients, the requirement of trained personnel, and the generation of aerosols, are factors that increase the risk of infections in this type of intake. It is known that the main means of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is through aerosols or small droplets, which is why saliva is important as a relevant means of detecting COVID-19. In this study, a modified method based on SARS-CoV-2 RNA release from saliva is described, avoiding the isolation and purification of the genetic material and its quantification of viral copies; the results are compared with paired pharyngeal/nasopharyngeal swab samples (EF/EN). Results showed good agreement in saliva samples compared to EF/EN samples. On average, a sensitivity for virus detection of 80% was demonstrated in saliva samples competing with EF/EN samples. The use of saliva is a reliable alternative for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 by means of RT-PCR in the first days of infection, having important advantages over the conventional method. Saliva still needs to be studied completely to evaluate the detection capacity of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid, however, the described process is viable, due to the decrease in materials and supplies, process times, the increment in the sampling and improvement of laboratory performance.
A recent study establishes that since 1970, there has been an ecological gap between human needs and the planet's resources, with annual resource demand exceeding the bio-productivity of the planet. Specifically, humanity utilises equivalent of 1.75 earths to produce the ecological resources used, with half of this attributable to food consumption. The present work therefore seeks to provide an empirically-based insight into the environmental sustainability of the EF of food consumption in Ijebu Ode. A descriptive cross-sectional approach was used, and primary data were collected from 400 systemically sampled households via structured questionnaires and analysed descriptively using Microsoft Excel and inferentially using mathematical models for calculating ecological footprints. Findings revealed that the household EF of food consumption in Ijebu Ode is 0.05gha per capita, with the footprint of cereal consumption (0.17gha; 37%) taking the major share, followed by meat with a footprint of 0.11gha (23.9%). As a result, it was concluded that Ijebu Ode has sustainable food consumption, which is necessary for its environmental sustainability. However, the sustenance of the former requires creating awareness of the need for sustainable consumption and prioritisation of integrated and population-wide policies and food intervention initiatives to encourage attitudinal change in favour of sustainable food consumption while fostering sustainable food production strategies amidst current environmental realities.
The symmetry occurs in most of the phenomena explained by physics, for example, a particle has positive or negative charges, and the electric dipoles that have the charge (+q) and (-q) which are at a certain distance (d), north or south magnetic poles and for a magnetic bar or magnetic compass with two poles: North (N) and South (S) poles, spins up or down of the electron at the atom and for the nucleons in the nucleus In this form, the particle should also have mass symmetry. For convenience and due to later explanations, I call this mass symmetry or mass duality as follows: mass and mass cloud. The mass cloud is located in the respective orbitals given by the Schrödinger equation. The orbitals represent the possible locations or places of the particle which are determined probabilistically by the respective Schröndiger equation.
Metal-organic molybdenum complexes were synthesized by the hydrothermal method using ammonium heptamolybdate as the metallic source, and as the organic ligand terephthalic acid (BDC) or bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET), obtained via glycolysis of poly(ethylene)terephthalate (PET). The BDC-Mo and BHET-Mo complexes were characterized by XRD, N2 physisorption, TGA, ATR-FTIR, SEM, XPS and their in vitro biocompatibility was tested by porcine fibroblasts viability. The results show that molybdates (MoO4-2) are coordinated to the carbonyl functional groups of BDC and BHET by urea bonding (-NH-CO-NH-) which is related to their high biocompatibility and high thermal stability. These organic molybdate complexes possess rectangular prism particles made up of rods arrays characteristics of molybdenum oxides (MoO3). The organic complexes BDC-Mo and BHET-Mo do not show to be cytotoxic for porcine dermal fibroblasts growing on their surface for up to 48 h of culture.

Hybrid rice has the potential to outperform existing inbred rice and was said to have the potential to produce 14-20 % more yield. In response, Malaysia Government has introduced its very own first Hybrid Rice Variety knew as Kadaria 1 developed by MARDI. This is in line with one of the strategies outlined in Dasar Agromakanan Negara (DAN) 2011-2020 as an approach to increasing rice productivity within Malaysia. The next step would be developing our hybrid seed rice production system. Therefore, an experiment to determine the planting ratio and planting distance between 0025A (A)-a hybrid with MR283 (R)-inbreed variety was carried out. Planting ratios studied in this study were 2:4, 2:6, 2:8, and 2:10 while planting distance was 14 x 30 cm, 16 x 30 cm, and 18 x 30 cm. Statistical analyses suggested that yield R, yield A, and panicle number A were significantly affected by planting ratios while yield A was significantly affected by an interaction between planting distance and planting ratios. Panicle number A performed significantly higher at planting ratios of 2:4 compared to 2:10. Yield R shows higher significant performance under ratio 2:6 compared to 2:4 and 2:8. Relatively, yield A performed the best under planting distance of 18 x 30 cm. Furthermore, under this particular planting distance, the planting ratio of 2:10 shows the highest significant figure while 2:8 exhibits statistical parity. Both yield R and yield A were significantly affected by planting ratios and have a significant positive association with each other. Therefore, the planting ratio of 2:10 should be the best since it contributed to significantly highest value for yield A while yield R under 2:10 shows statistical parity with 2:6 which was the highest significant value. In conclusion, the combination of 2:10 with a planting distance of 18 x 30 cm was the best since it shows best potential for both yields A and yield R
Cassava plays an important role in improving food security and reducing poverty in rural areas. Despite its importance, its production in Senegal remains low compared to other African countries. Nowadays, it is confronted with numerous constraints. It is in this context that a study was conducted on the cassava production system in the Thiès "cassava granary" region, with the objective of examining farmers' cultivation practices. It was conducted in eight communes located in the department of Tivaouane, some of which are located in the Niayes agro-ecological zone and others in the central-northern groundnut basin. Surveys were conducted among the largest cassava producers in these communes. Analysis of the results showed that cassava is only grown in the rainy season with the same cultivation practices that have been used for years. Of the five varieties listed by the President of the Senegalese Cassava Interprofession, only four are grown in the areas surveyed. The Terrasse (43%) and Kombo (36%) varieties are grown more by our respondents in the Niayes area. Soya (75%) and Wallet "Parydiey" (20% of our sample) dominate in the central-northern groundnut basin.

We are witnessing very demanding and stressful times in which we live, and an occupation that is particularly exposed to stress and different working conditions is the job of a nurse. Exposing themselves to everyday challenges and stressful situations, nurses reach a stage of great emotional and physical exhaustion, lethargy, dissatisfaction, and poorer work achievements, which we know as burnout. The aim of this paper was to determine whether there is and to what extent professional burnout is present in nurses and technicians working in nursing homes across Slovenia and Croatia. The paper is answering the questions of the extent of the burnout influenced by individual characteristics (age, education, years of service and work experience at the current workplace). The study involved a validated questionnaire “The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI)” to measure professional burnout. Surveying of the nurses was conducted online at their home institutions. The results show that all respondents have a medium or high level of professional burnout, while no one has a low level or shows no signs of burnout. In terms of age, the group from 55-65 years of age had the highest relative level of burnout in the age group category. With regard to education, the highest burnout was measured in registered nurses.
Hepatitis B and C are one of the most commonly transmitted viral infections through needlestick injury apart from HIV. It is highly prevalent in India and many other developing countries. It accounts for high mortality rate globally amongst low socio-economic groups of individuals. Healthcare workers, especially dental professionals are at higher risk of infection due to high exposure to saliva, blood and sharps. Accidental occupational exposure to non-sterile conditions and its development to more critical and fatal conditions can be reduced through vaccination, prophylactic medications and practicing high safety measures.
This review article focuses on transmission of hepatitis through sharps injuries in medicine, especially dentistry, its prevention, management, post-exposure prophylaxis and the corresponding content.

1. Introduction
Alternative fuel is one of the important issues in the present researchers and academicians throughout the world. To
prepare it from cheap sources through cost effective methodology is another prime thinking nowadays which
spreads in scientists and technologists of different areas of like chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering fields
and many more. Technological development is only useful to the whole of mankind whenever the product or
production cost is minimum. Preparation of alternative fuel or biodiesel, its use and emission analysis is studied by
many researchers using various techniques [1-9]. One of the cost effective methodologies can be obtained by
selecting cheap raw materials. In this regard, recycled oil or WCO plays an important role for the production of
alternative fuel. Many researchers use WCO for biodiesel production which ensures cost effective fuel. Present
author also identified WCO for production of alternative fuel using bioprocess technology [10].
Karmee et. al [11] also identified WCO as cost effective feedstock for alternative fuel in Hong Cong. WCO has also
been utilized for biofuel production by many researchers and scientists using different chemical and biochemical
catalyst [12-18]. Another method of minimizing cost for biodiesel production is recycling of catalyst. Chemical
catalyst is difficult to reuse due to complex separation and isolation procedure. Biocatalyst can easily be recycled
for this purpose. Reuse of biocatalyst for the synthesis of biodiesel has been applied by the present author by taking
rice bran oil fatty acid distillate as raw material [19]. But rice bran oil fatty acid distillate has been used as soap
making process and some other purposes.
Babaki et. al [20] used 20 cycles of immobilized enzyme from Thermomyces lanuginosus and studied the effect of
water, t-butanol and blue silica gel content for biodiesel production. Aguieiras et. al [21] investigated the reuse of
immobilized lipases in biodiesel synthesis and identified the influence of different solvents in lipase activity.
Azócar et. al [22] reutilized lipase in an anhydrous medium with enzyme reutilization to produce biodiesel with low
ABSTRACT
Recycling is an effective technology for minimization of process cost. Recycling of biocatalyst along with recycling of used oil is a new technique for
the preparation of alternative fuel Preparation of alternative fuel through cost minimization is supposed to be the most challenging job in the present
academicians and researchers. Biodiesel is one of the most important alternative fuels in the near future and it attracts considerable attention as
environment friendly, renewable and non-toxic fuel. In the present research investigation, waste cooking oil (WCO) is utilized as cheap raw materials
for this purpose and enzyme recycling technology has been adopted to prepare biodiesel. Recycling of enzyme is a novel technology which can
reduce the process cost. In our study, nonspecific enzyme Novozyme 435 (Candida antarctica) is utilized and recycled ten times for the
transesterification reaction of WCO and methanol maintaining definite reaction parameters like alcohol to oil molar ratio, reaction temperature,
mixing intensity and biocatalyst concentration. The physical properties of WCO methyl ester and diesel fuel have been compared and it shows
significant results. So recycling of enzyme for the production of alternative fuel from recycled oil can be utilized to mitigate scarcity of
non-renewable fuel in the future world.
Keywords: Waste cooking oil, Biodiesel, Candida antarctica, Biocatalyst, Recycling.

acid value. Chen et. al [23] studied the optimization of continuous biodiesel production in packed bed reactor by
reusing enzyme. Manurung et. al [24] recycled Lipozyme RM IM to produced biodiesel from Crude Palm Oil
(CPO) as feedstock. But very few studies have been made regarding the production of biodiesel using recycled raw
materials with recycling of enzyme. In the present research investigation, WCO have been identified as recycled
raw material for biodiesel production with the reuse of enzyme Novozyme 435 (Candida antarctica) after
optimization of reaction conditions. Results showed that ten times of recycling of enzyme has been successfully
done by applying 6:1 molar ratio of MeOH and WCO at 600
C temperature for 8 hrs with 8% biocatalyst.
2. Experimental
2.1 Materials
WCO was collected from different cafeterias, fast-food centres and restaurants of Madhyamgram, Kolkata, West
Bengal. The enzymes used in the present study was Novozyme 435, an immobilized non specific lipase based on
immobilization via interfacial activation of lipase B from Candida antarctica on a resin, Lewatit VP OC 1600 with
ester synthesis activity of 10000 propyl laurate unit/g and it was a kind gift of Novozyme South Asia Pvt. Ltd.
Bangalore, India. The chemicals monoglycerides and diglycerides were purchased from Scientific and Laboratory
Instrument Co., Kolkata. Except otherwise specified all other chemicals were A.R. Grade.
2.2 Optimization of Reaction
For optimization of transesterification reaction, initially 250 ml of WCO was filtered and taken in an Erlenmeyer
flask and heated up to 800
C to drive off moisture by continuous stirring for about 1 h. After that, reaction was
carried out by adding methanol in an appropriate proportion using solvent hexane fitted with a water condenser and
stirred by a magnetic stirrer for 8 hours maintaining other reaction conditions in the presence of 8% (w/w)
immobilized enzyme Novozyme 435 (w/w). Stepwise addition of methanol was allowed to minimize the
deactivation of enzyme.
2.3 Product Analysis
For the analysis of the products, definite amount of samples were withdrawn into a capped vial at suitable intervals,
immediately immersed in boiling water for at least 5 minutes to denature the enzyme and stop the reaction. After
that the samples were centrifuged for 15 min to remove immobilized lipase. The supernatant part was taken in
hexane and no leaching of enzyme was observed in this part. It was then evaporated to dryness and the products
were isolated and their amounts were determined by thin layer chromatographic (TLC) method. TLC was done by
spotting the lipid mixture on a silica-gel G plate (0.2 mm thick) using hexane-diethyl ether-acetic acid (90:10:1) as
a developing solvent. The lipid spots were identified by iodine absorption with triacylglycerol (TG), diacylglycerol
(DG), monoacylglycerol (MG) and BD as standard. The composition of WCO esters was determined by column
chromatography using silicic acid as an adsorbent and 160 mL of hexane-diethyl ether: 99:1 as eluting solvent. The
enzyme was washed with hexane, dried and reused for the next experiment. During recycling of enzyme, same
procedure has been followed for identification and determination of WCO esters (biodiesel). Biodiesel
characterization after each batch of experiment was done according to the American Standard Testing Method.

Values are reported as mean ± s.d., where n=3 (n=no of observations). Enzyme recycling was done ten times in
laboratory scale for preparation of biodiesel. After each esterification process, the enzyme was collected through
filtration. It was then washed with solvent hexane and vacuum dried. Used enzyme was then reused further for
biodiesel synthesis maintaining identical parameters and process conditions.
3. Results and Discussions
3.1 Analysis of WCO
The physicochemical properties of WCOs for ten batches are shown in Table 1. Ten batches of WCO were
identified as Batch no. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on. The characteristics of each batch was determined based on free fatty
acids (FFAs), iodine values, neutral glycerides, kinematic viscosity, moisture and peroxide value.

It has been found from Table 1 that the neutral glycerides of ten samples are in the range of 89.23±0.111 to
92.05±0.195%. This value indicates hydrolysis of oils during prolonged cooking. Iodine value of WCO samples are
in the range of 87.57±0.139 to 103.78±0.191 I2/100g. The upper limit of iodine value is defined as 120 by
EN14214 due to polymerization tendency of high iodine value fuels. In addition, the strong relationship between
the oxidative instability with high iodine number is observed for the biodiesels. In our study, iodine values of all
WCO samples are within the maximum limit. The properties like kinematic viscosity (23.90 ± 0.198 to 32.78 ±
0.164 mm2 /s at 400C) and FFA content (3.47±0.011 to 6.21±0.027%) are found to vary significantly. For WCO

samples, it is found that kinematic viscosity and FFA content increase with the darkness of oil colour. This may be
due to the fact that during cooking process at high temperature, some additional volatile and non-volatile
compounds are generated in the oil causing darker the oil colour and the higher the oil viscosity and FFA content.
Peroxide value of WCO samples are found to be in the range of 8.23± 0.127– 20.49± 0.166 meq/kg. Higher value of
peroxide value affects the activity of catalyst specifically biocatalyst. So before processing, peroxide value should
be low for WCO samples.
3.2 Optimization of Reaction Parameters
Initially, biodiesel preparation from WCO has been optimized and the optimized parameters have been applied for
ten batches during recycling. Optimization of the transesterification reaction in laboratory scale between WCO and
methanol has been carried out by using enzyme Novozyme 435. The optimized parameters identified are 6:1 molar
ratio of MeOH and WCO, 600
C temperature, 8% enzyme for 8 hrs of reaction duration.

Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show the optimization of molar ratio of methanol: WCO and temperature of reaction respectively
for biodiesel production. It has been observed from Fig. 1 that 6:1 molar ratio is the optimum ratio of methanol and
WCO for maximum conversion of biodiesel. Enhancement of amount of alcohol did not increase the rate of
production due to the decrement of possible no of collisions between the molecules. 600
C temperature is the ideal
temperature after which rate of conversion decreases probably due to the inactivation of enzyme at higher
temperature.

Optimization of concentration of enzyme and duration of transesterification reaction were identified as shown in
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 respectively. Increasing concentration of enzyme enhances the conversion of reaction and
optimization was observed at 8% concentration of enzyme as shown in Fig 3. Further enhancement of enzyme

concentration does not increase the conversion of biodiesel and it may be due to the agglomeration of enzyme at its
higher concentration which ultimately decreases the availability of active sites of enzymes. Production conversion
vs time has been analysed in Fig. 4 through a pie chart diagram. It has been observed from the Fig. that optimization
of reaction time goes for 8 hrs where 92.37% conversion was achieved. Further continuation of reaction has a very
minor impact for production efficiency.
3.3 Recycling of Enzyme
After optimization of reaction parameters, recycling of enzyme has been done for ten times with ten new batches of
WCO and methanol. Time study analysis w.r.t percent conversion of biodiesel is shown in Table 2.

Here, the percent conversion of biodiesel was observed from the amount of methyl ester through chromatographic
method at definite time interval i.e. 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 6 hrs, 8 hrs and 10 hrs. The optimized parameters were maintained
in all ten batches for esterification reaction. It has been observed from Table 2 that reusing of enzyme as catalyst for
the esterification reaction is very much effective. The same enzyme may also be used even after ten batches which
may help to decrease the process cost.
Table 2 shows that percent conversion of WCO to biodiesel in Batch 1 was 92.35 ±0.209% after 8 hrs of reaction
while after using 10 times, the same reused enzyme can convert 91.39 ±0.204%. So conversion efficiency of
enzyme is still active after ten batches and it can be recycled many more times which helps a lot to minimize the
process cost. Initial percentage of FFA is different for different batches as the WCO was collected from different
sources. The characterization of biodiesel was done for all ten batches and these are compared with diesel fuel and
biodiesel standard. Table 3 shows the different comparative characteristics of ten batches of biodiesel. It has been

observed from the table that preparation of biodiesel can be successfully done using recycled oil and recycled
enzyme and properties of biodiesel for each batch has close proximity with biodiesel standard and diesel fuel.
Cetane number and flash point are comparatively better in case of biodiesel than diesel fuel as observed from the
Table. So use of biodiesel as fuel is safer than diesel fuel. Other properties like specific gravity, kinematic viscosity,
density and cloud point are quite similar. Calorific value of biodiesel is somewhat less than diesel fuel though it is
in the range of biodiesel standard. So biodiesel prepared from WCO and methanol using recycled enzyme has a
good conformity with diesel fuel and is in good agreement with biodiesel standard. This work also proves that the
efficacy of enzyme remains almost equal even after using many times which helps to reduce the process cost.

4. CONCLUSION
Recycling of enzyme using recycling oil for the preparation of alternative fuel is a novel idea which reduces the
process cost as well as contributes a clean process technology. Waste cooking oil is used as cheap raw material in
this methodology which also helps to produce low-priced biodiesel. Activity of enzyme is slightly reduced for

recycling of biocatalyst though it does not hamper the productivity of the process. Initial process parameters have
been optimized which is applied in recycling technology. In our study, ten times recycling have been successfully
completed with desired conversion of biodiesel. This recycling technology for enzymatic production of biodiesel
from recycled raw materials is useful to mitigate the scarcity of fossil fuels in near future. Our process technology
contributes a new ray of knowledge to the future researchers to think differently for the production of environment
friendly alternative fuel.
