amount of e-waste. According to a report by MOEF (Ministry of Environment and Forests)‚ e-waste from old computers and mobile phones would jump by 500% and 1800% as compared to 2007 levels by 2020 in India. But before that‚ let us understand what exactly e-waste is‚ what are its implications and how companies are trying to curb this by using Green IT. Scenario of e-waste in India: Electronic waste (E-waste) in simple terms‚ refer to the discarded electronic devices. E-waste includes waste generated

Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose Abstract The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate the fermentation process of ethanol from the substrate sucrose. To make ethanol from sucrose two enzymes invertase and zymase were used. Vacuum filtration and fractional distillation were performed to get a more concentrated solution. The density of ethanol was .825 g/mL with a percent composition of 85% pure ethanol. Introduction

Extraction of Bio-ethanol from Apple (Malus domesticus) and Banana (Musa accuminata Colla) Peelings through the Process of Fermentation and Distillation Abstract Apple (Malus domesticus) and banana (Musa accuminata Colla) peelings are common household waste products. This study sought to extract bioethanol from these two peelings and to compare which sample can produce more bioethanol. About 400 grams of apple and banana peeling was obtained from the 1 kilogram bought from the supermarket and

Extracting DNA from Bananas In the Lab: Extracting DNA from Bananas‚ DNA was removed from bananas that had been blended with water in order to examine how DNA is seen from the naked eye. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid‚ which is a nucleic acid that contains the sugar deoxyribose. DNA is made up of a series of monomers called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts: a deoxyribose molecule‚ a phosphate group‚ and a nitrogenous base. In addition‚ there are four kinds of nitrogenous

Plastic is the general common term for a wide range of synthetic or semisynthetic organic amorphous solid materials used in the manufacture of industrial products. Plastics are typically polymers of high molecular mass‚ and may contain other substances to improve performance and/or reduce costs. Monomers of Plastic are either natural or synthetic organic compounds. The word is derived from the Greek

Ethanol What is Ethanol? Ethanol‚ which is sometimes called ethyl alcohol‚ pure alcohol‚ or grain alcohol is defined as‚ “a high octane‚ clean burning‚ American- made renewable fuels.” Ethanol is an increasing important aspect of our society and its popularity is becoming more widespread on a daily basis. Ethanol‚ a substance made out of Sugar-cane‚ maize‚ sorghum‚ wheat ‚ and other grains‚ has become one of the main viable source of energy in the world. In countries like South

carbohydrate for fuel ethanol production (Comis‚ 2008). Ethanol production from fresh cassava roots using a low-temperature process was evaluated on a pilot-plant scale. The application of low-temperature cooking to cassava starch followed by a dual enzyme action resulted in an ethanol yield comparable to that of a traditional high-temperature cooking process. Pressurized distillation gave a satisfactory recovery efficiency of ethanol but was slightly lower than that obtained from atmospheric pressure

and The Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program. These programs will research‚ develop and organize solar and wind energy supply potential (Department of Energy‚ 2006). Alternative Energy What is Renewable Energy? Renewable energy means it comes from a source that’s constantly renewed. For instance‚ the wind keeps blowing‚ the sun keeps shining‚ and the Earth keeps heating underground rocks. This energy will be around for as long as the Earth is‚ so we don’t have to worry about running out of it
