Cadmium (Cd) is one of the heavy metals, which is highly toxic to human, plants and animals. Some of agricultural waste can be effectively used as a low cost adsorbent in cadmium adsorption. Modification could enhance their natural capacity and add value to the adsorbent. In general, chemically modified plant wastes exhibit higher adsorption capacities than unmodified forms. Numerous chemicals have been used for modifications which include mineral and organic acids, bases, oxidizing agent, organic compounds, etc. In this review, Agricultural wastes as adsorbents including Rice husk, Sawdust (cedrus deodhar wood), Sawdust (Pinus sylvestris), Walnut sawdust, Juniper fibre, Sugarcane bagasse, Wheat bran, Cassava, tuber bark waste, Cassava waste, Corncorb, Coirpith, and others has been compiled. Some of the modified adsorbents show good adsorption capacities for Cd, The p...

Indla Ghatkhed is located between 77°55’32” East to 77°53’30” East longitude and 20° 55’ 56” North to 20° 57’ 0” North Latitude. Indla Ghatkhed watershed consist of three villages namely Indla Ghatkhed and Masod with area 925.83ha, 277.92ha, 73.02ha respectively. Agriculture department initiated extension activities from 1995 in small village Indla Ghatkhed under Vidarbh Panlot Vikas Mission program. In this study attempts are made to study the present status of watershed and its development, present state of art and by carrying out survey further watershed activities/ treatments are suggested.

Increase in industrialisation, abundant use of automobiles, and network of highways, the quality of air of Amravati city is degrading day by day. The data has been collected for a period ranging from March 2020 to February 2021 for analysis and pollution forecasting model work. The concentration of Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Respiratory Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and Ozone (O3) have been monitored over successive periods of time and also data is collected from monitoring stations controlled by MPCB. Numerous studies have been proposed for predicting pollution concentrations and improvement of performance of predictable models is an important issue. As is well known, collaborative observations proved that it can improve predictive performance. In this study, multivariate linea...

Utilization of water hyacinth relevant in water treatment and resource recovery with special reference to India

The exercise has to be repeated annually for an indefinite period, a burden that poorer nations are hardly equipped to support. The alternative is to find a use for this plant so that its eradication would entail some financial returns. A variety of studies have been carried out in this direction. The manifold uses to which the plant has been put include principally: (i) a fertilizer, compost and mulch; (ii) fodder; (iii) a raw material for industry; (iv) a protein source and source for carotene and other chemicals; (v) a pollution control agent; and (vi) biomass for biogas production. This paper represents a review of the past work on eradication and utilization of water hyacinth relevant in water treatment and resource recovery in the field of environmental engineering with special reference to India.

The treatment is based on the natural, biological, physical and chemical treatment of wastewater. The technique is reported to be cost effective as compared to other methods. The constructed wetlands have impermeable clay or synthetic coatings and artificial structures for controlling the direction of flow, liquid retention time and the water level. However, there are certain limitations of constructed wetland system, which need improvement for its wide adoptability. As such the effort was made to assist the constructed wetland system with attached growth system with the aim to design an economical and user friendly waste water treatment option for the small community. The laboratory scale model was fabricated using GI sheet of thickness 0.5 mm. The overall capacity of the model was 275 L. The laboratory scale reactor model consi...

But, it has been proved that chlorine may produce Trihalomethanes (THM's) that are toxic. So, there is need to find alternative methods of disinfection. This paper mainly discusses methods other than chlorination for disinfection of water. These methods of disinfection are classified into three categories-Physical Methods; Chemical Methods; and Membrane Processes. Physical methods of disinfection mainly includes-(a) Boiling (b) Solar (c) TiO 2 films and sunlight (d) U-V radiation (e) Electromagnetic Radiation; (f) Ultra-sonic sound; and (g) Activated Carbon The chemical methods used for disinfection of water are (a) Ozone; (b) Hydrogen peroxide; (c) Acid & alkali; (d) Metallic ions ; (e) Other Halogens; (f) Lime; (g) Chlorite and Chlorine Dioxide , (h) Anodic Oxidation and (i) Potassium permanganate.
