This paper presents a comprehensive review and experimental analysis of hydrogen production techniques, with a primary focus on alkaline water electrolysis for green hydrogen generation. Hydrogen is widely recognized as an efficient and clean energy carrier that can be produced from various resources, among which water electrolysis offers an eco- friendly route to high-purity hydrogen. Compared to other production methods, alkaline water electrolysis demonstrates strong potential in terms of sustainability, operational reliability, and environmental compatibility, as it utilizes renewable electricity and releases oxygen as the only by-product without emitting greenhouse gases. The study discusses key hydrogen production technologies, including proton exchange membrane (PEM), solid oxide, and alkaline electrolysis, highlighting their working principles, advantages, and limitations. An experimental setup using an alkaline electrolyte is developed to analyze hydrogen and oxygen generation, and the obtained results closely align with theoretical predictions, confirming the efficiency of the process. The findings contribute to a better understanding of alkaline water electrolysis and provide insights into improving system performance, supporting its development as a commercially viable solution for large-scale green hydrogen production.
This study covers the isolation, purification and characterization of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from Bacillus subtilis, a bacterium of industrial prominence. The organism was cultured in nutrient broth supplemented with catechol under defined experimental conditions to induce PPO activity. Enzyme extraction involved sonication followed by acetone precipitation and column chromatography for purification. Maximum protein concentration (0.74 mg/mL) was witnessed with 60% acetone, while SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses confirmed the enzyme's approximate molecular weight and retention time (20 min), respectively, aligning with previous findings. Enzyme activity was optimal at pH 4.0 and 40°C, with rapid decline observed outside this range. Kinetic analysis exhibited a Km of 55 mM for catechol, and enzyme inhibition by copper-chelating agents further verified its classification as a multicopper oxidase. The enzyme was successfully immobilized employing sodium alginate beads, enhancing its thermal and operational stability. Application trials in dough fermentation demonstrated improved rising ability in PPO-treated samples, suggestive of its potential role in bakery industries. Besides, data obtained from the present study provides new insights into the encouraging biotechnological applications of bacterial PPOs in biosensors, food processing and bioremediation.
Stainless steel Grade 304 (SS 304) is an austenitic stainless steel that is commonly used due to its excellent resistance to corrosion, formability, and weldability. In this study, an in-depth chemical characterisation study of a 12 mm square TMT bar made of SS 304 was conducted and verified the compliance of the tested material with the IS 17875:2022. The chemical elements Carbon, Manganese, Sulphur, Phosphorus, Silicon, Nickel and Chromium levels were evaluated by following standard testing methods described in IS 228. Overall, the results revealed that the tested sample met the compositional requirements of the IS standard. Excluding carbon, tests showed that the carbon content was kept below 0.07%, while Nickel and Chromium levels remained between the optimum 8.0-10.5% and 17.5-19.5%. Metals meeting these compositions should generally retain not only corrosion resistance but are also known to rebuke disintegration and maintain structural integrity, meaning SS 304 is also differentiated for usage in multiple engineering/construction scenarios. Moreover, clearly evident from the provided low percentage of Sulphur and Phosphorus, an added benefit of ductility, possibly renouncing vulnerability to embrittlement, and decreases the chances of failure in a structural application. This study not only confirmed that the SS 304 sample adhered to a set of national standards but also confirmed that the tested material possessed the required metallurgical characteristics for reliable industrial performance. This study concluded the overall importance of standard-based testing for assuring suitability and aiding in further addressing the topic of material-based structural safety for critical infrastructure projects.
This study investigates the thermal insulation performance of a hybrid nanocomposite material composed of synergistically blended nanosilica, graphene oxide, and expanded perlite within a polymeric matrix. The experimental analysis focuses on thermal conductivity, heat resistance, and structural integrity under varying thermal loads. The composite samples were fabricated using solution casting and hot-press techniques, and their properties were evaluated through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and guarded hot plate methods. Results demonstrate a significant reduction in thermal conductivity and enhanced thermal stability, indicating the composite's suitability for energy-efficient insulation systems in industrial and residential applications. The hybrid nanocomposite exhibited improved dispersion of nanoparticles and interfacial bonding, which contributed to its superior performance. This research highlights the potential of nano-engineered composites in advancing the design of high-performance thermal insulation materials.
