1. Performance Evaluation of Pulverized Bentonitic Clay as a Partial Cement Replacement in Concrete

AUTHOR NAME : Tushar W. Parate, Rajlaxmi R. Mankar, Sakshit S. Dharne, Yash S. Kapse

ABSTRACT : With the growing demand for sustainable building materials, alternative use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) to minimize Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) use has been encouraged. The present study is aimed at evaluating the performance of Pulverized Bentonitic Clay (PBC) as a partial replacement of cement in Concrete. Concrete mixes were prepared by substitution of cement in the different proportions from 0% to 20% of PBC. The workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of standard concrete samples were tested at 7, 14 and 28 days of casting, curing and testing. It was found that the property of fresh and hardened concrete is significantly affected by PBC. The mechanical properties of the samples were similar to the conventional concrete with moderate replacement level, and decreased with the gradually increasing replacement ratios because of the decrease in cementitious materials. Optimum replacement level of 10-15% was found to give satisfactory strength and workability. The study indicates that PBC is an effective sustainable supplementary material, which can decrease the amount of cement used and also minimise environmental impacts associated with the production of concrete.

ABSTRACT : This comprehensive review analyzes the optimization of critical pyrolysis process parameters—including reaction temperature, heating rate, vapor residence time, and catalyst loading—to maximize the yield and quality of bio-oil, bio char, and syngas. Operating within an optimal 450°C–550°C range balances devolatilization against secondary cracking, which directly controls liquid output. Incorporating acidic catalysts (like ZSM-5) lowers activation energy, yielding stable, deoxygenated bio-crude. Advanced statistical methods like Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and predictive Machine Learning models are vital for mapping multi-objective outcomes. Furthermore, innovative configurations like catalytic co-pyrolysis exploit synergistic effects between biomass and plastics to eliminate sorting costs and improve fuel properties. However, real-world scaling faces significant hurdles, including high computational costs, rapid catalyst coking, heat transfer resistance, and feedstock variability. Resolving these engineering trade-offs is essential for transforming bench-scale pyrolysis into a profitable, commercial-scale circular economy system.

13. Optimization of Natural Dye Extraction from Turmeric for Cotton Fabric

AUTHOR NAME : Chandrakant Kothare, Sangita Karhar, Wrunda Kothare, Rupesh Tanvaish, Shilpa wagh, Bhavana Vaidya.

ABSTRACT : Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is a widely available natural colorant whose principal pigment, curcumin, imparts a characteristic yellow hue to cellulosic fibers such as cotton. Growing environmental concerns regarding the ecological impact of synthetic dyes have renewed interest in natural dye sources for sustainable textile applications. However, turmeric dyeing is frequently associated with poor reproducibility, variable shade development, and moderate colour fastness, particularly when extraction and mordanting parameters are not systematically controlled. The dye yield and performance on fabric are strongly influenced by factors such as particle size of the raw material, solvent composition, extraction temperature, extraction duration, and material-to-liquor ratio. Consequently, optimization of these parameters is necessary to obtain consistent and reliable dyeing The present study synthesizes findings from published literature and proposes a standardized optimization framework suitable for polytechnic-level textile laboratories. Emphasis is placed on enhancing extraction efficiency and colour strength through controllable process variables, including solvent system aqueous and ethanol–water mixtures), extraction temperature, extraction time, and liquor ratio.
