The kinetics of biodegradation of industrial wastes and
oxidation of perfumery alcohols was studied using silver nano particles and
transition metal ions as catalysts.
· The effects of salinity and temperature on the
biodegradation of industrial and domestic waste effluents discharged into the
marine ecosystem around Mumbai City have been studied and the slow rate of the
wet oxidation of carbonaceous organic matter in marine waters has been
confirmed.
· Chemical monitoring of metal pollutants in the
coastal waters around Mumbai City was done using standard methods of sample
collection and analysis. The chemical quality of water was compared with the
WHO and ISI(Indian Statistical Institute) standards for potable water.
· Relatively less expensive transition metal ions
were used to catalyze the hydrolysis of a newly synthesized Schiff base,
N-N’-disalicylidene-p,p’-diamino diphenyl methane.
· Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized
and used as green catalysts for the oxidation of perfumery alcohols. The rates
of oxidation of alcohols were determined using first order kinetics.
· Transition metal ions were effectively used as
catalysts for the oxidation of Cyclic alcohols by Ce(IV) in acidic medium.
Suitable reaction mechanisms have been suggested and the sequence of catalytic
efficiencies of the transition metal ions have been determined.
