Abstract: The present investigation is development of the TiO2 nanotubes concept of preparation of and their composite with fine dispersion of copper. The inventions also relates to identify a method for optimum amount of photocatalyst required for efficient and maximum hydrogen production reported than earlier (H2=99,823 ?mol·h?1·g?1 catalyst) from glycerol-water mixtures under solar light irradiation. A method is disclosed to produce CuO/TiO2 nanotubes with high sustainability and recyclable activity for hydrogen production.

Abstract: An apparatus for the photocatalyitc oxidation of common industrial effluent contaminants in aqueous solution includes a reactor and a thin film photocatalyst fixed to a support material like Cuddapah stone. The support material is preferably an inert material. The TiO2 preformed does not contain any adsorbent for making the thin film photocatalyst, The catalytic runs were carried out over TiO2 thin film fixed bed reactor. The study is extended to the immobilization of preformed TiO2 with a binder for making thin film using a simple spray technique on inert Cuddapah stone. This method of immobilization require no thermal treatment of the catalyst at high temperatures. The method is applicable for the photocatalytic treatment of industrial effluents at a higher scale. Also it is a method for preparing a photocatalyst adopted for the oxidation of industrial common effluent by simple spray technique.

Abstract: This invention provides a process for preparing sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose using the following steps: a) combining a ferric salt solution with a weak alkali chosen from the group consisting of alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts, such as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, lithium carbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate and mixtures thereof, to form the ferric oxyhydroxide; b) combining ferric oxyhydroxide and sodium gluconate in solution to yield the sodium ferric gluconate complex; c) isolating the sodium ferric gluconate complex; and d) combining the sodium ferric gluconate with sucrose in solution to yield the desired sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose.
