Waste and Biodiesel: Feedstocks and Precursors for Catalysts is a comprehensive reference on waste material utilization at various stages of the biodiesel production process. The book discusses the technologies for converting cooking oil and waste animal fats to biodiesel, along with the efficacy of municipal waste derived lipids in biodiesel production. The use of wastewater-grown microalgae feedstock, oleaginous fungi, bacteria and yeast produced using waste substrate are also discussed. The use of various catalysts is addressed, including CaO derived from waste shell materials, fish and animal waste, inorganic waste materials like red mud and cement waste, and whole cell enzymes using waste substrate. Each chapter addresses the challenges of high production costs at a pilot and industrial scale, offering methods of cost reduction and waste remediation. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and industry professionals in environmental science, energy and renewable energy.

This book comprises of my research work which was carried out in Kothiwal dental college, research centre & hospital, moradabad, india. In this research work a new surgical technique was followed for surgical closure of oroantral fistula using collagen membrane and demineralized bovine bone graft and bone formation was evaluated. Oroantral fistula is a pathologic communication between oral cavity and maxillary antrum and persistence of which can cause serious problems to patients thus immediate closure is desirable. Although various surgical procedures had been advocated for closure of oroantral fistula, this technique has advantage over traditional method as their is Bone formation in the fistula site thus in future endosseous implants can be placed for rehabilitation of the patients.The bone formed by using these grafts is of good quality and have significant strength for implant placement.Furthermore studies using greater sample sizes are required to establish this new technique, the technique is very promising in future prospects .This research work was carried out obeying all the ethical prinicples.

Formulation of Gastroretentive Floating Tablets, sustained release tablets is the area of research from long time. Most of the time material used for formulation is either synthetic or semi-synthetic polymers. The preparation and cost of these polymers have always been problem for the formulators. Thus, more emphasis was given on the use of natural materials or combination of their with synthetic or semisynthetic for sustaining the release. The easy availability and low cost are the main advantages of these natural polymers. Also, the biodegradability of natural polymers gives an extra advantage over synthetic polymers. This study laid emphasis on use of different types of natural materials as the good gastroretentive, sustained release polymers in combination. Hence, various other kinds of material can be utilized to formulate the Floating systems and release retarding systems which can floated upto maximum required time and release the drug in specific time period. Moreover such blends can be used to release the drug in specific pattern by suppressing the snags of either one or both the materials.
