摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel forward osmosis (FO) process for dewatering of a variety of feed solution using low water activity and high osmotic pressure deep eutectic solvent with and without dispersed magnetic nanoparticles as draw solution. In particular, choline chloride-ethylene glycol, choline chloride- glycerol, Fe304 dispersed in former and latter were utilized as draw solution in FO for one step desalination of brackish and seawater, water recovery from effluent of leather and dye industries, protein and DNA concentration at room temperature. Owing to very low freezing point, the diluted draw solution after FO was recovered through phase separation by chilling at Ca. -10 °C with concomitant production of usable water. Although the present invention focused on specific DES and dispersion of Fe3O4 as magnetic nanoparticles but use of other DES having high osmotic pressure and low freezing point and other magnetic nanoparticles dispersion are logical extension of present invention.

The present invention relates to a more convenient and energy efficient process for the preparation of agarose from Gracilaria and Gelidiella spp., more particularly Gracilaria dura and Gelidella acerosa from Indian waters, said process comprising steps of prc- treating the dry seaweed with alkali, rinsing the pre-treated seaweed until the washing shows a pH ranging between 7 and 9, adding water, autoclaving to obtain extractive, centrifuging hot seaweed extractive, then treating the clear hot extractive with surface active chemicals to induce precipitation of agarose, centrifuging the mass to remove the adhering liquid, rinsing the centrifuged mass with water to remove the surface active chemical, preparing a hot sol of the agarose mass in minimum quantity of water, re- precipitating the agarose with iso-propanol to achieve a product having dispersibility while preparing gel, and demonstrating that the said gel in DNA gel electrophoresis studies shows performance equal to that of gel obtained through more conventional process of agarose preparation from the same seaweed extractives as also to gel prepared from commercial benchmark.

摘要:
The invention relates to an integrated process for the production of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF), K2SO4, levulinic acid and formic acid from &kgr;-carrageenan, the latter being obtained from fresh Kappaphycus alvarezii seaweed biomass after expelling the juice. Mg(HSO4)2 was used in HMF synthesis, with co-production of galactose. The aqueous stream after HMF extraction was treated with the seaweed juice which process facilitated recovery of K2SO4 in pure form. The galactose may be utilised for synthesis of levulinic acid and formic acid before or after K2SO4 recovery or, alternatively, utilised for other purposes. Catalysts required in the synthetic reactions are generated in the process itself while the process energy required is met out of additional supplies of the seaweed biomass which is subjected to combustion/gasification.

摘要:
The present invention relates to use of inexpensive semi-refined kappa carrageenan as a seaweed polysaccharide in preparation of tough, biodegradable films exhibiting improved performance over films obtained from refined kappa carrageenan. The formulation requires no gelling salt and the only other essential components of the film are glycerol and water, the former being used as plasticizer as reported in the prior art. The films can be recycled and reprocessed if required. The performance of the films can be further enhanced by incorporating polyvinyl alcohol that lends toughness and clarity as also natural rubber latex that imparts greater elasticity and barrier properties. Films of optimum composition can be pulse heat sealed immediately after casting and used for preparation of soft capsules and pouches. It is possible to store solvents and oils in the pouches. In view of the more ecofriendly processing of semi-refined kappa carrageenan compared to refined kappa carrageenan, films made with the former would also effectively be "greener".
