spectroscopic and rheological analysis. Results obtained from physicochemical analysis indicated that the gum is mildly acidic‚ ionic and exhibited properties that are closely related to most useful food and pharmaceutical gums. The gum has rich content of fibre‚ major elemental ions and other useful minerals. GCMS and XRF studies on the gum also revealed that the gum has several industrially useful minerals. The viscosity of the gum is found to be significantly affected by concentration‚ temperature‚ pH and

Every year‚ 0.5 million tonnes of clothing are dumped into landfill sites in the world (M&S.com‚ 2013). Furthermore‚ one in four garments sold is thrown away each year. Textile waste in landfills is now raising environmental issues. For example‚ synthetic fibre products do not decompose and this threatens local group water suppliers. Since there are many chemical and toxic materials such as dyes and bleaches in rubbish‚ water that passes through the rubbish may become 200 times more toxic than raw sewage

WHITE-TOPPING A SOLUTION FOR DISTRESSED ROAD ABSTRACT India has one of the largest highway and road networks on the planet‚ third road network after United States and China. The road network has expanded from 0.4 million km in 1951 to about 3.32 million kilometres presently (2012)‚ a sevenfold increase‚ but traffic has increased 120 times. This leads to the deterioration of the surface of the asphalt pavements and a need to rehabilitate them before further damage could occur. Since the use of a
