Adaptation and Implementation of Solar Distillation Plants for Pure Water: A Review
Abstract: Abstract The need of pure water is increasing day by day, being scarcity of fresh water available on grounds. The one source for obtaining the pure water, by purification, can be looked upon from saline water or waste water. The methods of purifying such water are not economic to the large population. But the use of techniques like solar distillation can be very economic and efficient as well, because of …

Microbial Degradation of Phenol: A Review
Abstract: Abstract Microorganisms have enormous potential to remove toxic organic compounds present in waste water due to its potential to metabolize these molecules. The presence of phenol and its derivatives is increasing in water resources due to its extensive applications. Microorganisms have been widely utilized to reduce the level of phenol in waste water. Different bacterial and fungal strains have been successfully studied to reduce the level of phenol in water. …
