Abstract:
Process for sequential bio-hydrogen production through integration of dark fermentation process with photo fermentation process. The process includes cultivating isolated bacteria in a bioreactor for dark fermentation under specific nutritional conditions for producing hydrogen from an organic substrate, wherein nitrogen supply is optimized; and cultivating another isolated bacteria in the effluent of dark fermentation under specific conditions and nutritional supplementation in a photo bioreactor, thereby integrating dark and photo- fermentation for enhancing hydrogen production.

Abstract:
The present subject matter describes a method for preparation of a lubricant dispersed with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and a lubricant dispersed with the CNTs prepared thereof. The method comprises ball milling the CNTs and purifying the ball milled CNTs to remove impurities in the CNTs. The method also comprises oxidizing surfaces of the purified CNTs by adding the purified CNTs to a solution comprising at least one oxidizing acid and then refluxing the solution. The oxidized surfaces of the CNTs are modified by adding the CNTs to a solution comprising at least one fatty acid to obtain surface modified CNTs. The method also comprises dispersing the surface modified CNTs in a lubricant to obtain the lubricant dispersed with CNTs.
