India is the world’s second-largest producer of vegetables and largest producer of fruits. Though we produce these items in massive amounts, we still see considerable losses in terms of wasted food due to the perishability associated with such products. Wastage of these items due to the lack of cold storage and chilling units has been […]

Welding Electrodes are commonly used consumables in industries where welding is required. The welding electrodes are used in the construction and manufacturing sector where metal welding is done. The welding electrode business has some advantages associated with it. The setup and manufacturing process is easy, the demand ever increasing, and the raw material required and […]

Aluminium is a durable and strong metal that is a conductor of electricity and heat, corrosion resilient and a good reflector of light. These characteristics have made aluminium one of the most desired metals in the world today, be it in construction, automobile or electronic industries. Aluminium is one of those metals that can be […]

Electroplating is the electrochemical process in which a uniform layer of the desired metal is coated with the help of a redox reaction with a base metal surface that imparts some unique characteristics like corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, lustre, and electrical or heat conductivity to the base metal. Tin and zinc plating have been gaining […]

Precious metals are naturally occurring elements known for their rare occurrence on the earth’s surface and high economic value. They are not as reactive as base metals, which are more common and less economically valuable, so they don’t oxidise nearly as quickly. They’re also relatively malleable. Elements used in the electroplating market in the country […]

As per the Air Act, the Water Act and Hazardous Waste Management Rules, 2016, a Consent Certificate, also known as a Pollution No Objection Certificate (NOC), is required by all public or private Healthcare establishments like clinics, healthcare facilities, hospitals, and medical laboratories. As per the CPCB category list of industries, a hospital or healthcare […]

There are several ways to impart corrosion resistance and metal finishing in the market today, with electroplating, anodising, passivation and electroless plating being a few popular techniques. However, electroplating using chromium and nickel have added advantages that many coating techniques don’t. Metals like chrome and nickel are deployed on metal surfaces to give them corrosion […]

Lead is a valuable metal and involves a lot of intensive mining and refining stages. India has lead reserves of only 2.5% of the world, with a total availability of only 2.2 Million tonnes. For the reasons mentioned above, lead recycling has gained momentum in recent times in India. Due to the benefits of using […]

In July 2022, MoEF&CC published the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Amendment Rules, 2022, which brought the producers, recyclers and re-treaders of tyres under the extended producer responsibility, an obligation already made mandatory for PIBOs in case of e-waste, battery waste and plastic waste in the country. The EPR for waste tyres apply to […]

Zinc ores in India are concentrated in Rajasthan, and the biggest smelting plants are situated in the state. The smelting of zinc is a capital-intensive business and involves many stages between mining and the final product. As zinc and lead ores are often mixed, the mining and smelting of both metals are done at a zinc smelter […]
