Photo-Catalysis for Water Treatment

Image
In current scientific world, semiconductor photocatalytic process is showing a great potential as an environmental friendly, sustainable and low-cost treatment technology in water and waste-water industry. The remarkable potential of this technology has already been demonstrated in removing the persistent organic compounds and micro-organisms from water. The hurdle that is stopping this advanced oxidation technology from being commercialized is the lack of technique to recover the catalyst particles after the water treatment process.  Rapid development, industrialization, population growth and long-term droughts have increased the demand for clean water. Shortage of water sources is a global issue. Researchers are constantly putting effort in discovering a practical solutions to yield more viable water resources. Some strategies that can resolve problem for short time are rainwater harvesting and catchment storage for stormwater. It is estimated  that roughly 4 Billion people ...

Raspberry Ketone and its Anti-Obese Property

Image
Raspberry Ketone (RK) is one of the most vital aromatic compound found in the red raspberry ( Rubus idaeus ) which is represented in Fig 1. It also goes by the name European red raspberry. It is one of the oldest fruits known to people and it is being used throughout the centuries. Humans generally used it for nutritional and medicinal purposes. Raspberry contains significant amount of healthy sugars, vitamins, minerals and many different polyphenols. Raspberry is quite popular around the world and comes just after strawberry and blueberry .  Fig 1:  Rubus idaeus Scientists have studied many different biological effects of raspberry components but this anti-obese action it the one that has intrigue them the most. In 1996, scientists discovered ellagic acid present is raspberry helps to prevent or inhibit tumor inductions in the liver, lungs and esophagus. Scientists have not yet found any negative side-effects of RK in human. In 1982, they found in a 24 h period most of the ...
