Toxic characteristics of Clarias gariepinus juveniles (Tuegels 1982) exposed ...iosrjce Juveniles of the fish species Clarias gariepinus were exposed to varying concentrations of aqueous and ethanol extracts of pods from the plant Parkia biglobosa over 96 hours. Exposure resulted in physiological stress responses in the fish such as agitated behaviors, respiratory distress, and abnormal nervous behaviors, with higher mortality occurring at higher extract concentrations. Mortality was higher for fish exposed to the aqueous extract compared to the ethanol extract. Control fish exhibited no unusual signs. The study concluded that both extracts were toxic to C. gariepinus juveniles, with the aqueous extract being more toxic.
Sand Reclamation
Sand Reclamationabhishek_hukkerikar The document discusses foundry sand reclamation. It explains that reclamation offers economic and environmental benefits by reducing purchase and freight costs of new sand and complying with regulations. The key steps in reclamation are shakeout, crushing, cooling, scrubbing, classification, and storage. There are four main types of reclamation: dry, wet, thermal, and combined wet and thermal. The thermal process is suitable for oil-bonded sands without clay and for non-ferrous foundries. Reclamation systems must effectively remove impurities, coatings, and fines to produce sand with uniform properties for casting.

How ethanol is produced
How ethanol is producedJboch23 Ethanol can be produced through two main processes - dry milling and wet milling. In dry milling, grain is ground into flour and mixed with water and enzymes to convert starch into sugar, which is then fermented and distilled to produce ethanol. Wet milling involves soaking grain to separate its components, including starch which is fermented into ethanol. Dry milling has a shorter process time but produces more waste, while wet milling can use various feedstocks but has a longer, more complex process. Both production methods play an important role in ethanol fuel production.

Bioethanol
BioethanolAdrian Shazmi This document provides an overview of bioethanol, including its production process, feedstocks, fuel properties, advantages, and disadvantages. Bioethanol is produced through sugar fermentation of plants containing sugars and starch, such as corn, sugarcane, or wheat. It is used as a substitute for gasoline in vehicles. While bioethanol production reduces greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on oil, it also requires large amounts of land and water and has lower energy content than gasoline. Brazil is highlighted as the largest producer and user of bioethanol due to its sugarcane crops and government policies supporting ethanol production.
Alternativefuels
AlternativefuelsMustafa Lokhandwala Ethanol is a clean-burning, high-octane fuel produced from renewable sources like corn and sugarcane. It can be blended with gasoline up to 10% (E10) or 85% (E85) for flexible fuel vehicles. Ethanol is made through fermentation and produces a positive energy balance. While ethanol benefits energy independence and the economy by creating jobs, there are also problems like higher food prices and environmental impacts that depend on production methods.

https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/
Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.
Ethanol - an introduction to the alcohol

- 2. What is Ethanol? H H H H C C O H H Properties Appearance Colourless liquid - volatile and flammable Melting Point -114.3°C Boiling Point 78.4°C Solubility in water Fully miscible
- 3. Think… How many uses of ethanol can you think of?
- 4. Uses of Ethanol?
- 5. ...and been used as a fuel since 1908!
- 6. Where does ethanol come from? Yeast acts on glucose sourced from plant matter such as sugar or corn to produce ethanol. This is a renewable energy source that is carbon neutral. Some are worried about food being diverted into fuel, raising world food prices. Fermentation Steam, high temperature and a catalyst turns ethene into ethanol with no by products. Ethene is made from cracking longer carbon chains found in fossil fuels. So this process is non-renewable. From Ethene
- 7. Cracking An ideal fuel would flow and ignite easily but oil mined out of the earth often has very long carbon chains and these are viscous (slow flowing) and hard to ignite. Cracking is a chemical process, by which these chains are shortened to make a more useful fuel.
- 8. Cracking - example + hexane butane ethene C C C C C C H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H C C H C C C C H H H H H H H H H
- 9. Ethanol Production from Oil 5 parts Ethene is added to 3 parts water Chemical Reaction 300 °C 60-70 atm Phosphoric(V) acid catalyst Un-reacted gases recycled Cooling the mixture causes the ethanol to dropout as a liquid Pure Ethanol Long chain hydrocarbons from fossil fuels are cracked and distilled to make ethene
- 10. Fermentation Carbohydrate e.g. glucose C 6 H 12 O 6 Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide Yeast 2C 2 H 5 OH + 2CO 2
- 11. Fermentation But wait! Isn’t Carbon Dioxide a Greenhouse Gas? We just said that this process was Carbon Neutral! Yes, but we must think about the whole carbon cycle. The carbohydrate will have originally been made by photosynthesis by the plant, which would have removed exactly the same amount of CO2 from the atmosphere. Glucose Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide Yeast C 6 H 12 O 6 2C 2 H 5 OH + 2CO 2
- 12. Where does the carbohydrate come from? High-input annual grass, mostly grown in the USA and is subsidized around $1.90 a gallon [1]. Output from one hectare: 3100–3900 Litres 10–20% Greenhouse-gas savings versus petrol Production in 2007: 6,000 Million gallons Long-season annual grass, grown in tropical and subtropical climates. Output from one hectare: 5300–6500 Litres 87–96% Greenhouse-gas savings versus petrol Production in 2007: 5,000 Million gallons Instead of growing a crop specially for fermentation, organic waste products can be diverted from landfills. This prevents large amounts of landfill methane production. Methane has 70x the warming effect of CO2. [2] Limited total market. Corn Sugar Cane Waste Biomass A B C [1] http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10250420 [2] 2007 IPCC AR4 Other statistics from Nature 444 (December 7, 2006): 673-676.
- 13. Ethanol from Corn Fermentation The “Food versus Fuel” Debate The amount of corn it takes to fill a large fuel tank with ethanol would feed one person for a year! [1] In 2007, biofuels consumed one third of America's corn (maize) harvest. In April 2008 the World Bank attributed a 75% increase in world food prices to biofuel production. [2] [1] Economist 2007 [2]April 2008 World Bank
- 14. Why is Sugar cane not a clear winner then? De-forestation of rainforest releases CO2. Brazil currently grows biofuel on former rainforest land the size of UK. Last year Brazil reclassified an additional 200million hectares of land for biofuels Replanting 1 hectare of forest removes 175 cubic tons of carbon from the atmosphere compared to a maximum saving of 65 tons when bio-ethanol replaces fossil fuels. Ref: ‘Science’ magazine article: ‘Forests could absorb up to nine times more CO 2 than the production of biofuels can achieve on the same area of land.’
- 15. V Weighing the Benefits
- 16. V With higher oil prices or extra ethanol subsidies Weighing the Benefits
- 17. Ethanol: A fuel for the 21 st Centuary? National Geographic estimated that oil production will peak soon and run out by 2060. Oil prices reached $147 per barrel in July 2008 compared to $24 per barrel in the 90s. Hence the world is looking for cheaper energy. The IPCC estimates a 2-3 ° temperature rise by 2100. This will have massive impact on ecosystems and global climate. CO2 increases this warming.
- 18. What is the UK’s Policy on Biofuels? Generally the British Government is less pro-biofuel than it once was, due to the environmental and food concerns. Instead it is lifting fuel standards, by 2012 10% of all new cars will emit less than 100g/Kg CO 2. However the UK is still researching some biofuels and the first sugar-beet fuelled ethanol production facility opened in 2007 using surplus UK sugar.
- 19. Think… Imagine you are leaving a bathroom and you have the choice of using a paper towel, a hand drier, or a linen cloth to dry your hands. Make a list of the information you need to decide which drying method has the least full lifecycle of CO2 emissions.
