Herein, for the first time the carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by reflux method from sawmill waste material. We also represent a novel strategy based on fluorescent CDs for determination of ponceau 4R and allura red dyes in soft drinks. Interestingly, both the dyes were sensitive and showed effective fluorescence quenching of the CDs owing to the interaction between them. The analytical applicability of CDs were evaluated for detection of both the dyes with a good linear relationship between the concentration range of 0.0 to 3.0 µg mL−1 and having detection limit 0.45 and 0.47 µg mL−1 for allura red and ponceau 4R dyes respectively. Meanwhile, the potential application of this novel fluorescent probe for dyes determination in real samples was validated in different soft drink samples with good accuracy and precision. Thus, these findings provides new insights for the potential risk assessment of both the dyes. Moreover, CDs acted as an excellent fluorescent material in cellular i...

The increasing applications of constructed wetland for sewage treatment coupled with increasingly strict water quality standards is an ever growing incentive for the development of better process design tools. This paper states the pollution removal efficiency depend on the impact of seasons on the sewage treatment. In the present study used surface and subsurface flow types constructed wetlands using free floating and emergent types of macrophytes. Surface flow e.g. E. crassipes and subsurface flow e.g. Typha latifolia, Colocasia esculenta, Cana indica, Panicum maximum, Pennisetum purpureium, and Control. Seasons are rainy, winter and summer were selected for the investigations of the impact on sewage treatment. Test samples before and after treatment were analyzed through selective parameters like pH, EC, TSS, TDS, TS, COD, BOD5, NO3, PO4 and SO4 using standard methods. Aim is to evaluate sewage treatment effectiveness and seasonal performance of the system. Present study carried ...

Recently, the fossil fuel consumption is increasing owed to industrial revolution which leads to serious human health and environmental problems. For sustainable energy generation and survival of human life and earth planet biofuel is an alternative source of energy. Non-renewable energy causes environmental effects which results in environmental degradation, to overcome these problems biofuel is the best environmental friendly option. Biofuel can be generated from different types of biomass, among these algae have potential to produce considerable amount of biofuel. But it is very difficult task to produce algal biofuel from specific type of algae. The present review compares and discusses the different types of feedstock, methods of oil production and improvement of method for biodiesel production and their utilization. This review mainly focuses on the cultivation and methodology for biofuel generation and recovery from algae for sustainable development.

Constructed wetlands are human induced systems that impersonate the functions of natural wetlands which are applied for sewage treatment. A study is carried out to investigate feasibility and optimization in pollution concentration through Angular Horizontal Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetland in the sewage treatment using Pennisetum purpureium Schumach. The plant species are implanted and propagates in the bed of constructed wetland. The sampling and analysis through physico-chemical and biological parameters viz. pH, EC, TSS, TDS, TS, BOD, COD, NO3, PO4 and SO4 were carried out at both inflow and outflow in the pilot plant. The sewage samples with different concentrations such as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% were tested before and after treatment. Results revealed that pH range was changed from 6.72 to 7.22, maximum reduction of E.C was reduced by 34.61% at 80% sewage concentration, TSS was reduced by 55.17%, TDS was reduced by 56.18%, TS was reduced by 55....

doi:10.3850/978-981-08-5716-5_T231 “Photo-catalytic Treatment of Spent Wash with CaO” ABSTRACT In the present investigation, efforts have been made to treat the spent wash effluent from distillery with the photo-catalytic treatment with CaO using solar energy. The diluted distillery spent wash in 1: 10 to 1:50 proportions with distilled water was treated with 1g/100ml CaO. The diluted spent wash at different concentrations were treated photo-catalytically each set with 1 g of CaO for six hours in sunlight. The analysis was carried out for color, pH, TDS and TSS of these samples before and after treatment. The results revealed that the color removal, reduction in TSS and TDS was increased with the increase in dilution of the effluent. The pH increases up to 13.9 from 5.6.

Cana indica is a wide spread emergent aquatic weed. It generally grows on wastewater discharged areas like bogs, lakes, river pools and many. It is a promising emergent macrophytes for its sustainable use in wastewater treatment due to its rapid growth. This plant is a valuable biotic resource in waste water treatment due to its several properties by its plant-root system through Phytoremediation process. In the present investigation, Cana indica is used for the treatment of sewage to test its pollutant absorption capacity. Designed Angular Horizontal Sub-surface Flow method is used for treatment sewage collected from Solapur city for its recycling and reuse. The physicochemical parameters of sewage samples were analyzed both before treatment and after the treatment and assessed for pollution load reduction efficiency. The sewage with different concentrations in the range of 10% to 100% was subjected to the phytoremediation treatment using Cana indica in designed treatment set up. T...

The attempt of this study is to use of remote sensing and GIS technique for estimation and mapping of loss of biodiversity and its impacts on animals habit – habitat. Kokare Village, located in Chandgad Tahsil, District Kolhapur has been selected as study area for the present research work. Various parameters was used to analyze biodiversity change i.e geomorphology, slope, aspect, slope length, elevation and drainage map. Thus Remote Sensing & GIS technique provide immense help in mapping of biodiversity change occurred due to lindslide in Kokare village. Geographical Information System and Remote Sensing are modern technique which is useful to analyze biodiversity.

We report the unique design and prototype of a portable gas sensor module for monitoring greenhouse gases. The commercially available gas sensors (MQ-02, MQ-135, and TGS2602) were adopted in designing the module using Arduino Uno. Different locations in the city of Solapur, India (17.6599° N, 75.9064° E), were scanned for the usability of the developed prototype of the mobile gas sensor module. The choice of gas sensors in combination with Arduino Uno led to an excellent prototype for measuring the concentration of greenhouse gases, and therefore the wrong alarm for toxic gases. The prototype model and corresponding greenhouse gas concentrations (ppm) are described using an interplay of sensor design, software program, and greenhouse gases sites.

Constructed wetlands are cost effective in the wastewater treatment. The wetland technology is highly applicable in Asian countries. It is worked on various types of aquatic weeds or macrophytes. Phragmites karka is an emergent aquatic weed. It is promising emergent macrophytes for sustainable use in wastewater treatment due to its rapid growth. The present paper describes the use of Phragmites karka for wastewater (sewage) treatment using horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland. The wastewater was treated with Phragmites karka using phytoremediation or rootzone bed technology. The physico-chemical parameters both before treatment and after treatment were analyzed and assessed for pollution load reduction. It is
