A META-ANALYSIS OF PHOTOCATALYTIC VS. ELECTROCHEMICAL APPROACHES FOR AZO DYE TREATMENT

Abstract

The widespread use of azo dyes in various industries, coupled with their persistence and toxicity, has necessitated the development of effective treatment technologies for wastewater management. Among the most promising methods are photocatalysis and electrochemical degradation, which have demonstrated significant potential in the removal of azo dyes. This meta-analysis synthesizes findings from multiple studies comparing the efficacy, environmental impact, and scalability of these two approaches for the treatment of azo dye-laden wastewater. A total of 25 studies were selected for this analysis, focusing on key parameters such as decolorization efficiency, reaction time, catalyst/electrode materials, and operational conditions. The findings suggest that photocatalysis typically offers higher decolorization rates, while electrochemical processes are more cost-effective and scalable. This paper also identifies challenges associated with both methods and proposes directions for future research.

PHARMACOGNOSTIC, PHYTOCHEMICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF PROSO MILLETS FOR THEIR ANTI-CANCER ACTIVITY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO PROSTATE CANCER

Abstract

Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), a resilient and nutrient-dense cereal crop, has gained attention for its potential health benefits, particularly in preventing chronic diseases such as cancer. Known for its adaptability to harsh environmental conditions and rich phytochemical composition, Proso millet is an excellent source of phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, and dietary fiber. These bioactive compounds contribute to its potent antioxidant and antiproliferative properties, which play a crucial role in mitigating oxidative stress, a key factor in cancer progression. Epidemiological studies suggest that regular consumption of proso millet can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and various types of cancer, highlighting its value as a functional food. Furthermore, Proso millet’s short growing cycle, genetic diversity, and adaptability make it a sustainable crop for enhancing food security in resource-limited regions. This study focuses on the phytochemical composition and therapeutic potential of proso millet, emphasizing its role in cancer prevention and its broader implications for public health. By leveraging the unique attributes of this ancient grain, proso millet holds promise as a cost-effective and sustainable dietary intervention for chronic disease management and global health promotion.
KEYWORDS : Proso millet, phytochemicals, antioxidants, cancer prevention, functional food.
