MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621031886 A) filed by Dhanashri Jagdish Kashyap, Amalner, Maharashtra, on March 17, for 'process for preparing sodium hydroxide by utilization of biodegradable waste-derived sensitizers using solar energy.'
Inventor(s) include Dhanashri Jagdish Kashyap.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Now a days natural dyes have emerged as a sustainable, environment friendly, economically viable alternative to synthetic dyes. This article focused on utilization of extracted natural dyes i.e. Yellow Marigold Flower Dye and Dried Walnut Shells Dye from biodegradable waste ( which are ; Yellow Marigold Flower (Tagetes erecta) waste and Dried Walnut Shells waste) as a sensitizers in closed four sided 'Cuboidal - Dye Sensitized Solar Cell' for Sodium Hydroxide production. The aim was to use of a sustainable energy i.e. Solar Energy as energy source rather than using Electricity which is used as a energy source in conventional methods for sodium hydroxide production, but the another advantage is that along with the sodium hydroxide production Electricity is being produced from prepared closed four sided 'Cuboidal - Dye Sensitized Solar Cell' design."
