The polymer was synthesized by oxidative chemical polymerization of para toluidine in aqueous HCl using potassium dichromate as an oxidant at 0–3°C. The synthesized polymer was characterized by UV-VIS-NIR, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, and their thermal studies were carried out using TGA and DTA. The AC conductivity and dielectric behavior were investigated at a temperature varying from 298 to 373 K in the frequency varying from 20 Hz to 10 Hz. The AC conductivity increases as temperature is increased. In the entire range, the universal power law &#963;ac&#969; = A&#969;s holds well. The polymer displays a decrease in frequency exponent ‘S’ value in the entire temperature range of study and hence follow Correlated Barrier.  As frequency decreases dielectric constant and dielectric loss increases   exhibiting strong interfacial polarization at low frequency and the dissipation factor also decreases with frequency. At higher frequencies it exhibits almost zero dielectric loss which suggests that this polymer is lossless material at frequencies beyond 10Hz .Complex electric modulus exhibits two relaxation peaks, indicating two-phase structure as indicated by a bimodal distribution of relaxation process.  <#LINE#> @ @ Shumaila G.B., Lakshmi V.S., Alam M., Siddiqui A.M., Zulfequar M.and HusainM.,Synthesis and Characterization of Se Doped Polyaniline,Current Applied Physics.11(2), 217 (2010) @No $ @ @ Gupta K., Jana P.C. and Meikap A.K, Optical and Electri-cal Transport Properties of Polyaniline-Silver Nanocomposite, Synthetic Metals.160(13), 1566 (2010) @No $ @ @ Nicholas J.

In India almost all organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been banned, but some farmers and industries are still using it for agriculture purpose. OCPs are very toxic and they may affect the biota and also the human consumers. It used to control the crop pest in agricultural field which affects the yield of depending crops on bee pollination, global fish production as well as human health. We have analyzed samples of water, sediment and fish from different lakes of Ahmedabad city using Gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detector (FID).This study reveals that the level of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, (DDT) and hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) in studied lakes is significantly high. Periodic differences in the concentration of these pesticides were also observed. The concentration of organochlorine was advanced in summer than in the monsoon. So, it is necessary to monitor the concentration level of respected pesticides in different lakes which would be helpful in conservation of our environment.<#LINE#> @ @ Oyewale A.O. and Musa I., Pollution assessment of the lower basin of Lakes Kainji/Jebba, Nigeria: heavy metal status of the waters, sediments and fishes, Environ.

The detection limit and quantitation limit of the palladium(II) determination are found to be 0.396 g cm-3 and 1.200 g cm-3 respectively. The Beer’s law obeyed over the concentration range 1.39-8.36 µg cm-3 of palladium(II). The optimum concentration range for maximum precision was deduced from Ringbom’s plot and was found to be 2.79-8.36 µg cm-3. The molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity of the complex were found to be 2.2634 x 10 dm mol-1cm-1 and 7.2154 x 10-3 µg cm-2, respectively.  The absorbance value of the complex was not effected by the presence of various cations and anions. The investigated method was applied for the determination of Pd(II) in alloy and catalyst samples.<#LINE#> @ @ Hammond C.R., The Elements, in Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 81st Ed., CRC Press, Boca Raton, Florida, United States, (2004) @No $ @ @ Palladium,  United Nations Conference on Trade and Development archived from original Dec06, (2006) @No $ @ @ Roy Rushforth, Palladium in Restorative Dentistry: Superior Physical Properties make Palladium an Ideal Dental Metal, Platinum Metals Rev., 48(1), 30-31 (2004) @No $ @ @ Grochala W. and Edwards P.P., Thermal Decomposition of the Non-Interstitial Hydrides for the Storage and Production of Hydrogen, Chem.

To do this, physicochemical and microbiological parameters of surface water and ground water have been determined. The results obtained show that the oxygen chemical supply varies from 69.2 to 146 mg/L O for surface water and from 35.7 to 44.3 mg/L O for ground water. The contents of iron (>300 µg/L) and total phosphorus (>5 µg/L) reflect high levels in the several samples analyzed. Microbiological analysis shows that the samples of the lakes are contaminated with fecal bacteria especially by strains of Escherichia coli. This can be illustrated by the area 2 of the experimented lake which has a flora in Escherichia coli 100/mL. The well samples are the paucity of microbial amount, particularly well. But the samples of the other wells convey faecal flora as Klebsiella sp. Yet there is an abundant flora from one sample to another. It is the case of Lake (10800 cfu/mL), piezometer (9040 cfu/mL) and 13760 cfu/ml for the well. This abundant is due to food unsafety and lack of hygiene in the environment of these samples. The waters in the landfill midOuèssè Ouidah should be protected from contamination that may impair their quality and thus limit their use. <#LINE#> @ @ Saadi Sanae, SBAA Mohamed, Mohamed EL Kharmouz leachate physicochemical Characterization of the landfill site in the city of Oujda (Morocco Oriental) Science Lib Editions Mersenne, 5, 2111-4706 (2013) @No $ @ @ Laferriere JJ, Minville J. and Lavoie P., Payment, The pork industry and lesrisques related to human health, Bull.

In this paper, a novel concept “Designer Biodiesel” for the biodiesel production has been accentuated. Since, the identical fatty acid composition of the biodiesel resembles to the precursor oil; therefore, its fuel properties are directly affected by the composition of the precursor oil. Various blends of some locally available vegetable oils such as Jatropha, Nahor, Yellow Oleander and Pongamia were prepared by mixing at different volumetric ratios (Yellow Oleander: Nahor); (Yellow Oleander: Jatropha); (Pongamia: Yellow Oleander), (Pongamia: Jatropha) and (Pongamia: Nahor). Biodiesel was prepared through a single step concentrated HSO catalyzed transesterification process in laboratory scale from the pure vegetable oils and selected blends and their fuel properties were analyzed according to the standard test methods.  H NMR technique has been used to determine fatty acid composition of the vegetable oils and the blends. The effect of fatty acid profile/composition on the properties of fuel like viscosity, cetane number, calorific value as well as iodine number had been detected. <#LINE#> @ @ Chattopadhyay S. and Sen R., Fuel properties, engine performance and environmental benefits of biodiesel produced by a green process, Applied Energy, 105319-326 (2013) @No $ @ @ Pahl G., Biodiesel: growing a new energy economy, White River Junction, Vt., Chelsea Green, (2008) @No $ @ @ Kesicki F., The third oil price surge-What's different this time?, Energy Policy, 38 (3), 1596-1606 (2010) @No $ @ @ Sharma Y.C. and Singh B., Development of biodiesel: Current scenario, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 13 (6-7), 1646-1651 (2009) @No $ @ @ Balat M. and Balat H., Progress in biodiesel processing, Applied Energy87, 1815-1835 (2010) @No $ @ @ Knothe G., Gerpen J.V. and Krahl J., The biodiesel handbook, Urbana, Ill., AOCS Press, 1-286, (2005) @No $ @ @ Leung D.Y.C., Wu X. and Leung M.K.H., A review on biodiesel production using catalyzed transesterification,Applied Energy, 87(4), 1083-1095 (2010) @No $ @ @ Knothe G. and Kenar J.A., Determination of the fatty acid profile by H-NMR spectroscopy,  Eur.

They have wide applications in purification and especially in water treatment processes. Many technical papers have been written on the Hydrocarbon and Heavy Oil-Water separator design and vast amounts of information are also available in corporate process engineering design guidelines. The purpose of this work is to provide a comprehensive current design status of Hydrocarbon and Heavy Oil-Water Separators. This type of Hydrocarbon and Heavy Oil-Water Separators which is presented in this work is usually design and used for the separation of hydrocarbons produced during Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis of green diesel from synthesis gas. <#LINE#> @ @ Oil Water Separator Field Guide, Ontario Ministry of Transportation, February, (2007) @No $ @ @ AED Design Requirement, Oil Water Separators, US Army Corps of Engineers, Afghanistan Engineers District, (2010) @No $ @ @ Division of water, Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection, (2015) @No $ @ @ Kirby S., Mohr P.E., Gary Markham, Larry Kirkland and Timothy Agatep, Design, Testing, and Operating Experience of a Salt Water Disposal System Oil Water Separator, International Petroleum Environmental Conference, Houston, Texas, (2014) @No $ @ @ Pollution Prevention Guidelines, Environment Alliance, Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, April, (2006) @No $ @ @ Hansen E.W.M., Heitmann H., Laska B., Ellingsen A., Ostby O., Morrow T.B. and Dodge F.T., Fluid Flow Modelling of Gravity Separators, Elsevier Science Publishers, (1991) @No $ @ @ Silla Harry, Engineering Economics and Design, s.l. : Taylor and Francis Group LLC, (2003) @No $ @ @ Yaws Carl L., Chemical Properties Handbook, New York : McGraw Hill, (1999) @No $ @ @ Richardson Coulson, Chemical Engineering, 6.
