The kinetics analysis of the oxidative reaction between benzaldehyde and oxidant is quinolinium Bromo chromate was reported in aqueous 40% acetic acid medium at 313 K. The rate of reaction varies first-power of [IQBC] and [H2SO4], whereas fractional-order kinetics was observed for benzaldehyde. The rate constant gradually increases with decrease in dielectric constant of the medium. The neutral salt does not alter the rate. The metal cations (Cu++) slightly accelerate the rate of oxidation when added to reaction mixture. The study rules out the participation of keto form of substrate in complex formation. Benzoic acid was identified as the end-product in stoichiometrically 1:1 based mechanism. The rate law was derived in accordance with the kinetic results.

Maihar is a tehsil of satna district in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is known for the temple of the revered mother goddess Sharda situated in Trikut hill. The town is a road and rail junction. It is located at 24.27 o N 80.75 o E. The physico-chemical parameters (i.e. temperature, pH, EC,) N, P, K and also heavy metals (Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, Ni) has been examined in the soil sample of Maihar tehsil in Satna District. The readings were taken with the help of Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) and the value of Zn, Cd, Cu, Ni and Co was calculated by running standards of these metals. Various soil quality parameters were analyzed by using standard procedures. Temperature, pH, EC, N, P and K were found to be within the SQGL recommended level.

Abstract:In the present study we are intended to find out the diffuse chemical pollution in central India on the basis of surface water bodies. We have designed twenty sampling stations district for this study in east zone i.e. Rewa, Satna, Sidhi, Singrauli, Shahdol, Umaria, Katni, Panna, Chhatarpur, Jabalpur ,Mandala, Dindori, Siwani, Chhindwara, Narsinghpur, Hosangabad, Betul, Damoh, Sagar and Bhopal.

The recent advancements in medicinal chemistry not only revolutionized in traditional practice in allopathic system but in Ayurvedic generic life medicines too. The purified chemical derivatives of herbs like extracts, fractionates, and isolates are being preferred which are medicinally better than other synthetic drugs. During the last few decades, the advance studies of natural products has been tremendously was a field of research in chemistry, material science as well as life science. Natural products have come from various source material including terrestrial plants, from plant kingdom. Our country is a paradise for medicinal plants. There exist a large number of plants which have been used by Ayurveda and Unani practitioners as medicines since long ago. A large number of herbal and aromatic plants were used in India, as the presence of human beings has to depend on nature for their survival and the accumulated knowledge has guided them to discover remedies for the diseases. In the recent era a little attention was paid to the development of the Indigenous drugs, which was revised in India. The wealth of India was published by CSIR 1,2 envisaging the Bhumi Amla and its extracted constituents, which yield the drugs usually used as a clinical trial, cultivation and economical importance. Systematic phytochemical analysis of drugs used in indigenous medicine was taken-up on modern scientific lines. A large number of compouds 3 of different functional groups are found in different varieties of Bhumi Amla. Inspired from above and available literature pertaining to the electrochemical medicinal analysis for three species of Bhumi Amla which has not so far been reported in detail till date by a couple of earlier workers 4-10. The authors thought it worthwhile to report the analysis of medicinal plants (BA) for their important constituents. 2. EXPERIMENTAL (MATERIALS AND METHODS) The 20 gm of leaves of Bhumi Amla medicinal plants are plucked, macerated, washed with distilled water and crushed to extract electrolytes of three species of the sample purified by distillation to get sap. The processed leaf is studied under the microscope to check the different layers of the epidermal cells. The filtrate is extracted with ether or chloroform to remove water soluble non-basic organic materials and then steam redistilled. The medicinal chemical analysis of bio-mass for chlorophylls, free amino acids, active ingredients (phyllanthin and hypophyllanthin), relative mobilities and other physical parameters alongwith the constituents of system have been carried out conventionally by
