Effects of Introducing Cylindrical Ceramic Packing into a Single Slope Solar Distillation Unit
Abstract: Abstract Water is important for all life forms on earth-plants, animals and human being, etc. For fresh water necessities, humanity relies on rivers, ponds, lakes and underground water reservoirs. The available fresh water on earth is mounted; however the demand of fresh water is exaggerated owing to growth and speedy industrial enterprise. Therefore, there is a great need of proper water purification technique with less price. During this situation, solar …

Evaluation of Oil-Sorption Properties of Kapok Fiber for Cooking Oils: A Potential Check for Oil-ridden Wastewater from Restaurants
Abstract: Abstract Sewage is one of the leading sources of water pollution. The untreated water released from restaurants is the major contributor of oil pollution having devastating impact on aquatic life. Oil in water clogs pipelines, pumps and treatment equipments, decreases the efficiency of the plant and also results in high maintenance and operation costs. The natural material, kapok fibers have the capability to significantly separate oil from water by entrapping …

Biosorption of Cd2+, Cu2+ and Pb2+ Using Immobilized Moringa oleifera Leaves
Abstract: Abstract In demonstration of the effectiveness of immobilized Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) leaves (IMOL) for the removal of metal ions from waste water, the leaves of M. Oleifera were immobilized by entrapping them within a polymeric matrix of calcium alginate. The concentration of residual metal ions after sorption was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The result of sorption capacity of Cd2+, Cu2+ and Pb2+ were found to be 99.59±0.061, …

DECENTRALISED WASTEWATER SYSTEM & ENHANCEING GREEN COVER
Abstract: Abstract Water is one of the most vital natural resources for all living beings on Earth. The availability and quality of water always have played an important part in determining not only where people can live, but also their quality of life. On the other hand wastewater is generated from various industries and from domestic use. The capacity of sewage treatment is much lesser than production so remaining sewage is …

Photoelectrocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue and Inactivation of Escherichia coli by Spray Deposited Au:ZnO Thin Films
Abstract: Abstract Spray deposited Au-doped ZnO thin films were successfully prepared by using zinc acetate as precursor onto the glass and fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrates at 4000C. In this study, the polycrystalline Au:ZnO films were prepared with the different Au concentration in the starting solution varying from 0 to 4%. The optimized Au doping concentration was 3%. The direct optical band gap of the Au:ZnO film (3% …
