Evaluation of the effect of size reduction and thermal treatment on metal extraction from PCBs of mother board and digital video drive of desktop PCs (Current Science) (V. M. Shinde ,,,, Year: 2016)
The study aims at evaluating the effect of particle size and thermal treatment on printed circuit boards (PCBs) of Mother Board (MB) and DVD on metal extraction. Results show around 90-95% (w/w) and 35-40% (w/w) of total Al and Cu respectively, in CPU could be recovered by systematized disassembly. Re-maining embedded Al and Cu require metallurgical or hydro-metallurgical processing. Cu extraction in-creases with size reduction. Thermal treatment of MB-PCB shows reduction in Cu extraction (23-38%) for all sizes in comparison without thermal treatment, while DVD-PCB showed surge in extraction after thermal treatment (41-141%) in comparison without thermal treatment.

Stress enhances polyunsaturation rich lipid accumulation in Chlorella sp and Chlamydomonas (,,,, Year: 2016)
In the present study, effects of various cultivation conditions on biomass and lipid productivity, detail FAME signature, CO2 biofixation and elemental composition of Chlorella sp. and Chlamydomonas sp. have been investigated. In Chlorella sp., N-depletion has enhanced the lipid productivity by 12.70–14.61%. In Chlamydomonas sp., though the lipid content has increased by 22–26% upon N-depletion, lipid productivity has not changed significantly due to concomitant decrease in biomass productivity by 18–25%. The presence of lipid was also confirmed by FTIR spectroscopic analysis of biomass. The characteristic bands observed at 1744.30 cm?1 (Chlamydomonas sp.) and (Chlorella sp.) were credited to lipids due to C–O mode of the side chain from ester carbonyl group. Extracted lipid was transesterified to FAMEs. Chlorella sp. at N-replete indoor condition has produced the highest weight percentage of C16:0 (26.64%), C18:0 (3.77%) and C18:1 (27.94%). In Chlamydomonas sp., N-replete indoor condition has resulted in maximum content of MUFA (30.12%), LUFA (53.35%), second highest SFA (29.22%) and DUFA (23.23%). Inverse relationship was observed between MUFA and PUFA at all cultivation conditions. In both the microalgae, C16:0, C18:1 (9), C18:2 (9, 12), C18:3 (9, 12, 15) were identified as the major FAMEs which are suitable to be used as biodiesel components

Enhanced arsenic removal from drinking water by iron-enriched aluminosilicate adsorbent prepared from fly ash (Journal of Desalination and Water Treatment) (,,,, Year: 2016)
"The study deals with an efficient approach for the utilization of fly ash and mitigating one of the most severe drinking water problems caused due to arsenate. Iron enriched alumi- nosilicate adsorbent (IEASA) was synthesized using a novel method of alkali fusion of fly ash followed by ageing and hydrothermal curing. The raw material, intermediates, and final products were thoroughly characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and particle size analysis. The charac- terization results suggested that the prepared adsorbent is highly crystalline with particle size of 500 nm. The IEASA was evaluated as an adsorbent for the removal of arsenate at initial concentration of 1 mg L, 1 by batch adsorption studies, which shows excellent removal efficiency for arsenate (above 99%) in wide pH range of 4–10 and in the presence of various interfering ions. The efficiency was also compared with synthetic zeolite, which shows negligible arsenate removal. Adsorption isotherms were plotted using the Langmuir and Freundlich models to compute the adsorption capacities. The adsorption capacity obtained from Langmuir isotherm was 0.592 mg g 1as compared to the adsorption capacity of 0.455 mg g 1calculated from kinetics data. Detailed kinetics studies were also carried which confirms that the adsorption kinetics follows pseudo-second-order and particle diffu- sion is the rate determining step. Water quality was evaluated before and after adsorption, which suggests the suitability of the adsorbent for the decontamination of arsenate from drinking water and other parameters also confirms that treated water is potable."

An adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system model for traffic classification and noise predictions (International Journal of Computer Applications (0975 – 8887)) (L G Malik ,,,, Year: 2016)
In present study, two adaptive neuro-fuzzy models have been developed for traffic classification and noise prediction, respectively. The traffic classification model (ANFIS-TC) classifies extracted sound features of different categories of vehicles based on their acoustic signatures. The model also compute total number of vehicles passes through a particular sampling point. The results have been used for the estimation of the equivalent traffic flow (QE). The noise prediction model (ANFIS-TNP) has three inputs, namely equivalent traffic flow (QE), equivalent vehicle speed (SE) and honking. The equivalent traffic flow (QE) is the output of ANFIS-TC model, while equivalent vehicle speed (SE) and honking are computed from observed averaged speed of different categories of vehicles and number of recorded horns blow per minute. The model assumes that the distance between sound level meter and road centerline is fixed for particular sampling point. The performance of both the models has been validated by field observations. The results show that traffic classification is 100% accurate, while correlation coefficients between observed and predicted traffic noise range from 0.75 to 0.96. Both the models are validated with random samples of data, and it is observed that both the models are generalized and could be employed for traffic classification and traffic noise prediction in small urban heterogeneous traffic environment for noise pollution assessment and control.
