water. Fresh water is a critical, finite,

vulnerable, renewable natural resource that

plays an important role in our living

environment such that without it, life is

impossible. India is endowed with rich

water resources. The chemical

composition of river waters is not constant

and carries different types of impurities

dissolved in it. Due to this, the river waters

are usually polluted. The water quality of

Rewa district Bihar River was evaluated

on the basis of dissolved minerals or salts

or impurities, etc. River waters were

analyzed for temperature, turbidity, color,

odor, test, pH, total hardness, calcium

Characterization of Tesu Colour Dyeing on Excel Fibre and to

Study the Effects of Caustic Treatment

S.R. Shah*, P. Patel Department of Textile Chemistry, Faculty of Technology & Engineering, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of

Baroda, Vadodara, India

Abstract

Tesu, the natural flower colour, was extracted in such way that the maximum colour yield

can be obtained on textile fibre. The extracted Tesu colour was applied on excel, the third

generation regenerated cellulosic fibre, at different pH, time, temperature and electrolyte

concentration. The characterisation of Tesu colour dyeing on excel fibre was developed.

Further, the effects of caustic soda treatment on dyeability of excel fibre with natural Tesu

colour was evaluated and the results found are quite energetic.

Keywords: Caustic soda, dyes, fibre, Tesu

INTRODUCTION

Anciently, textile materials were dyed

using colours obtained from natural

resources until synthetic colours were

invented. Due to easy access of pure

synthetic dyes of different classes and cost

advantages associated with it, most of the

textile dyers and/or manufacturers chose to

shift towards using synthetic colorant.

Almost all synthetic colorants are

synthesized from petrochemical sources

after undergoing through hazardous

chemical processes that possess threat

towards its eco-friendliness. Hence,

worldwide growing awareness about

organic value of eco-friendly products has

generated new interest of consumers

towards usage of textiles dyed with eco-

friendly natural dyes.[1]

Due to this, even

after a century, the use of natural dyes has

not vanished completely and they are still

used in different places across the world.

Natural dyeing of different textiles is

continued mainly in the decentralized

sector for specialty products while

synthetic dyes are used in the large scale

sector for general textiles/apparels.[1–5]

Recently, most of the commercial dyers

and textile export houses have started

looking to the maximum possibilities of

using natural dyes for dyeing and printing

of different textiles for targeting niche

market. Natural colorants produce very

uncommon, soothing and soft shades as

compared to synthetic dyes. On the other

hand, synthetic dyes, which are widely

available at an economical price and

produce a wide variety of colours,

sometimes causes skin allergy and other

harmfulness to human body, produces

toxicity/chemical hazards during its

synthesis, releases

undesirable/hazardous/toxic chemicals

etc.[6–9]

Excel, a third generation manmade

cellulosic fibre, having high dry and wet

strength, good dimensional stability and

clean manufacturing technology is the

answer to the fashion, with comfort luxury

and engineered precision of a manmade

fibre.[10]

No literatures available pertaining

to the processing of excel fibres in

specifically. Excel fibres are mainly dyed

Square Wave Pulsed Electrodeposition of Chromium from Deep

Eutectic Solvent (DES) Based on Choline Chloride

Gengan Saravanan1*, Subramanian Mohan

1Department of Chemistry, Central University of Tamil Nadu, Tamil Nadu, India

2CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute, EMFT Division, Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu, India

Abstract

Electrodeposition of chromium from hexavalent chromium ion is very toxic, carcinogenic, not

environmentally benign, cathodic efficiency is low, and the quality of coating is very poor

(due to H2 evolution). Ambient temperature Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) can be formed by

reacting choline chloride (HOC2H4 (CH3)3Cl) with metal salts. These low cost DES are not

sensitive to air and moisture and have good electro-conductivity and they do not have vapour

pressure. DES is promising electrolyte for electrodeposition of nano-sized metals and alloys

in the metal finishing industry. In the present study, the electrodeposition of chromium films

from a solution of DES containing chromium (III) has been investigated by square wave

pulse current technique. Homogeneous and well adherent Cr films have been obtained with

65% current efficiency which is 50% higher than Cr deposited from aqueous Cr(III)-based

electrolyte.

Keywords: chromium, choline chloride, deep eutectic solvent, desorption, metals

INTRODUCTION

In recent year’s ambient temperature DES

have been studied extensively for

electrodeposition, electropolishing and as

an electrolyte for batteries.[1,2]

Key

advantages that enable them to overcome

the limits imposed by common aqueous or

organic media are their wide

electrochemical windows, spanning up to

6 V in some cases; extremely low vapour

pressures, high ionic conductivities. Early

investigations focused on imidazolium or

pyridinium cations with chloroaluminate

anions although increasing amounts of

work has been carried out using inert

anions such as CF3SO3-, PF6

- and

(CF3SO2)2N-. Osteryoung showed that n-

alkylimidazolium salts gave liquids over a

wide range of composition with AlCl3.[3,4]

The properties of these DES are controlled

by various chloroaluminate anions, whose

relative concentrations change

considerably with the melt composition.[5]

These DES have been used for metal

deposition, and as media to carry out a

variety of reactions.[6,7]

It has recently been

shown that eutectic solvents can be formed

using metal chloride with pyridinium,[8]

dimethylethylphenylammonium,[9]

and

imidazolium salts.[10,11]

These have higher melting points than the

corresponding chloroaluminate melts but

are still fluid at ambient temperatures.

Abbott et al. recently reported that eutectic

solvent can be formed using zinc or tin

chlorides with substituted quaternary

ammonium salts such as choline

chloride.[12]

These eutectic solvents are

resistive to air and water but their low cost

enables their use in commercialization in

metal finishing industry.

Trees Conservation: Protecting Life on Earth

Chhavi Jain* MM College, Modinagar, Uttar Pradesh, India

A BRIEF ON TREE CONSERVATION

Today, one of the biggest concerns about

the environment and our Earth is the need

for tree conservation. Trees are the

cornerstones of all the ecosystems and the

building blocks for all the living organisms

on Earth. It is difficult to even imagine our

lives without trees. There would be no

place for the birds and animals to live and

have leisure time. Trees stabilize soils,

regulate water and carbon cycles, and

provide oxygen and other wealth of

products to living beings on Earth.

Without trees, these all would be gone and

it is easy to believe that there would be no

life on Earth. Trees are thus a fundamental

part of our life.

Tree conservation involves ensuring that

trees are regularly planted, maintained

and/or saved for future generations. By

doing this, we can ensure that trees will

remain a part of our lives, thereby

protecting us and preserving life on Earth.

Certain strategies that can be adopted to

save trees include:

Education

Obtaining information from professional

foresters, horticulturists, landscape

architects and planners and educate people

and property owners about how to care for

and maintain the trees will be helpful in

conserving trees.

Voluntary Measures Interested citizens, landowners, local

readers should be invited and encouraged

to donate time and money towards tree

preservation efforts.

Provide Incentives It is one of the best ways to promote tree

conservation. It includes providing

incentives i.e., grants or funds as financial

assistance to encourage landowners to

protect their trees, plant new trees and

improve the community.

Regulatory Measures

This includes adopting organized

regulations that emphasizes rules to on

protect environmental and economic

benefits of trees.

More than 9600 tree species are threatened

with extinction and above 1,850 species

are listed as critically endangered. The

latter are likely to become extinct unless

immediate action is undertaken to preserve

them. The Global Trees Campaign is a

joint initiative between Fauna & Flora

International (FFI) and Botanic Gardens

Conservation International (BGCI). It is

the only international campaign dedicated

to conserving threatened trees. It aims to

protect the future of the world’s threatened

tree species thereby benefiting the living

beings and the environment.

The Global Trees Campaign works in

three ways:

(1) Directly supporting threatened tree

projects: This includes providing direct

support to different projects that

focuses on conservation of world’s

most threatened tree species.

Currently, the Global Trees Campaign

is supporting such projects in more

than 15 different countries. The

threatened trees that are under focus
