Degradation of Phenol, an Innovative Biological Approach
Abstract: A bacterial strain capable of utilizing phenol as a sole carbon source was isolated from the soil samples, collected at a vicinity of industrial wastewater treatment plant of phenol manufacturing unit. Based on the biochemical tests and 16S rRNA sequencing results the organism was identified as Serratia marcescens. The organism is capable of degrading the highly toxic phenolic compound to an optimum concentration of 2500 mgL-1 in 120 h at …

A SUBSTANTIAL PROBLEM OF WATER POLLUTION: REASON & SOLUTION
Abstract: Human exercises including industrialization and farming practices contributed massively in no little measure to the corruption and contamination of the earth which antagonistically affects the water bodies (waterways and sea) that is a need forever. This paper attempts to talk about essentially what water contamination is and similarly to address the source, impact control and water contamination the board overall. A few proposals, for example, presentation of ecological training were …

Potential use of Silver Nanoparticles in water filter tanks as an antimicrobial agent
Abstract: The packing foam was used to suspend the silver nanoparticles so as to avoid the problems of free nanoparticles getting mixed with drinking water. The contact time required to kill the microorganism along with various designs of incorporating the packaging foam in the tank is studied to ensure the best design to suspend the polymer in the filtration tank will be studied by taking the microbial count. A comparison of …

Preliminary design assessment of heavy water purification columns through shortcut calculations including hydraulic and mass transfer characteristics
Abstract: Heavy water having deuterium content of 99.9% and more is used as the moderator and the coolant in pressurized heavy water nuclear reactors (PHWRs). This purity is maintained by vacuum distillation in packed columns. This work analyses the effect of packing type on preliminary column design based on certain user-defined specifications, with a focus on mass transfer and hydraulic characteristics of the column. Geometrical characteristics of commercial metallic packing materials …

Polymer nano composites For Water Pollution Applications
Abstract: Insertion metal particles of nano size in to polymer matrices resulted scientific technical interest. Lot of research work is going on this areas. In the present studies the authors discus various factors effecting the polymer metal nano composites. An attempt has also been made on the work done by the authors. The composites are useful in removal heavy metal ions present in the water.
