The document summarizes research on using activated carbon derived from Phoenix Dactylifera (Date Palm) seeds to remove fluoride from water. Batch tests were conducted to determine the optimum contact time, adsorbent dosage, and pH for fluoride removal. The maximum removal efficiency of 94.5% was achieved with a contact time of 40 minutes, adsorbent dosage of 140mg, and pH of 7. Activated carbon with higher impregnation ratios during production had higher removal rates. The research demonstrates the effectiveness of using activated carbon from date palm seeds for defluoridation.
It is generally accepted that a low level of fluorine in mains water 0.4 to 1 mg -¢ L – 1 depending on the climate of the country concerned promotes the formation of tooth enamel and protects teeth from decay. On the other hand, too much fluorine will destroy this enamel and cause a range of endemic type disorders that are generally called “fluoroses- malformed teeth, staining of the enamel, decalcification, tendon mineralisation, digestive and nervous disorders, etc. These problems can appear in individuals for widely variable quantities of the product. Water must be discharged or treated as soon as it contains more than 1 to 1.5 mg -¢ L – 1 of F – . Some natural waters contain more than 10 mg -¢ L – 1 of fluorine. This concentration has to be reduced to approximately 1 mg -¢ L – 1 the acceptable concentration falling as the average annual temperature rises the European standard has set 1.5 mg -¢ L – 1. Many studies have been carried out to address the issue however little success has been reported up to date. Layered double hydroxides LDHs which readily undergo anion exchange reactions have been used as a suitable candidate for defluorination. Also there is regeneration of the material after removal of fluoride ions without releasing flouride ions back in to the water cycle. F elimination using a nanofiltration NF operation will solve problems for large scale pilot plants in the future.Many defluorination projects have significant effectiveness on the prevention of endemic fluorosis. The concentrations of water fluoride were below 1 mg L. Advanced on site methods, such as under sink reserve osmosis units, can remove fluoride but are too expensive for developing areas.

Microbial Decolorization of Leather Dye Effluentijtsrd
As we know 71% of Earths Surface is covered with water. Water is one of the most essential element for the persistence of life on this planet. Pure and contamination free water is the dire necessity of every living being present on Earth but today water pollution has posed great threat to the existence of life. The discharge of effluents from various industries into the water bodies are mainly responsible for water pollution specially effluents from leather industry are the most contaminating as along with the harmful chemicals they contain organic matter as well. The dyes disposed by the leather industry are the most harmful for the environment. The conventional physicochemical methods used for the treatment of leather dyes in the contaminated water i.e. coagulation, precipitation, oxidation etc have disadvantages and limitations. This study presents microbial decolorization of leather dye effluents from Shigella sp. isolated from effluent samples collected from leather industry. Different parameters such as temperature and pH were optimized for decolorization of Methylene Blue, Crystal Violet, EosinYellow, Safranine dyes by using bacterial isolates. Optimum temperature for decolorization was observed to be 300c, the optimum pH range for decolorization was found to be from pH6-pH8. All the samples were incubated at 30-°C 150 rpm. The decolorization was measured as decrease in absorbance maxima at 663 nm, 590 nm, 518nm, 530 nm for mehtylene blue, crystal violet, eosin yellow, safranine respectively.

Fluoride is a typical component of natural waters and its concentration varies depending on the water resource. Water may be contaminated by natural sources like more alkaline ions (CO32-+HCO3->10.4 meq/l water) reacts with halite which comes from industrial effluents. This is ensuing in fluoride concentrations up to 12.7 mg F–/l where ground level of water is low. WHO standards and BIS: 105000, 1991 permit only 0.5-1.5 mg/dl as the upper permissible limit for fluoride in drinking water for the Indian context. Fluoride in excess of the permissible limits in drinking water causes a number of endemic conditions referred to collectively as “fluorosis”. This paper explores the sorptive answer of a recently developed adsorbent, Activated alumina finely grinded with coconut shell powder. The efficiency of the sorption of fluoride ion is affected by pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, type and size of adsorbents. The adsorption equilibrium is well correlated by Freundlich and Langmuir models

Three distinct agricultural waste materials, viz., casuarina fruit powder (CFP), sorghum stem powder
(SSP), and banana stem powder (BSP) were used as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of toxic lead(II)
from aqueous solutions. Acid treated adsorbents were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM),
energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The
effects of parameters like adsorbent dose, pH, temperature, initial metal ion concentration, and time of
adsorption on the removal of Pb(II) were analyzed for each adsorbent individually and the efficiency order
was BSP > SSP > CFP. Based on the extent of compatibility to Freundlich/Langmuir/Dubinin–Radushkevich/
Temkin adsorption isotherms and different models (pseudo-first and second order, Boyd, Weber’s, and
Elovich), chemisorption primarily involved in the case of BSP and SSP, whereas simultaneous occurrence of
chemisorption and physisorption was proposed in the case of CFP correlating with the thermodynamic study
results conducted at different temperatures. Based on the observations, it was proposed that three kinetic
stages involve in the adsorption process, viz., diffusion of sorbate to sorbent, intra particle diffusion, and then
establishment of equilibrium. These adsorbents have a promising role towards the removal of Pb(II) from
industrial wastewater to contribute environmental protection

Abstract Influence of Neem leave extract on the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in a chloride medium was investigated. It was carried out by immersing as-received and heat treated mild steel coupons in salt water with various concentrations of Neem leave extract ranging from 0-20%. Method of investigation was gravimetric, based on weight loss of coupons in the different solutions. The results show that mild steel samples immersed in salt water without Neem leave extract exhibited a much higher weight loss as compared to those with Neem leave extract. A unique trend observed in these investigations was that weight loss was higher for the as-received than the heat treated samples prior to addition of Neem leave extract into the corrosive medium. On addition of the Neem leave extract, a reversed trend was observed where weight loss of the heat treated became higher than the as-received coupons. Change in corrosion rate was insignificant for the control samples for both as-received and heat treated samples. On the contrary, an evident decreasing trend was observed for the heat treated samples while those of as-received were insignificant with time. However. 5% inhibitor showed best corrosion inhibition with the least corrosion rates. The overall results indicate that Neem leave extract effectively inhibits mild steel corrosion in a chloride medium Keywords: Corrosion, mild steel, salt water, inhibitor, Neem leave, heat treatment

Treatment of Sewage by Phytoremediation method using Izndian mustard Plantijtsrd
Increasing urbanization, industrialization and over population is one of the leading causes of environmental degradation and pollution. Aquatic bodies are the traditional recipients of sewage containing heavy contaminants, which are released in higher concentrations and cause deleterious effects on organisms. Phytoremediation, an ecofriendly technology which is both ecologically sound and economically viable is an attractive alternative to the current cleanup methods that are very expensive. Phytoremediation technology is a cost effective one as it utilizes plants natural ability to suck the pollutant present in the water. There are many plants having this natural ability to up take the heavy metals and organic pollutants from air, soil and water. In this project we have treated the sewage coming out after primary treatment using phytoremediation techniques. In this project, the sewage which is taken from the primary treatment unit is further treated using phytoremediation technique that is the mustard plant is used for treating the sewage and thereby reducing the contaminants in wastewater to meet the wastewater disposal standards. Among various phytoremediation techniques phytovolatilization found to be effective in removing the pollutant as BOD, COD, Turbidity, Total dissolved solids, Kjeldahl nitrogen. The phytovolatilization showed the best removal of BOD up to 59.44 , COD up to 60.02 , Turbidity up to 97.83 , Total dissolved solids up to 31.35 , Kjeldahl nitrogen 97.46 . Karthika.

Parametric Studies on Detergent Using Low Cost SorbentIOSR Journals
: Water is a valued natural resource for the existence of all living organisms. Indian rivers are
polluted due to the discharge of untreated sewage and industrial effluents. Management of the quality of this
precious resource is, therefore, of special importance. In these study industrial effluents samples from the
various detergent factories were collected and analyzed for physicochemical and bacteriological evaluation of
pollution. The use and effectiveness of granular and powder activated carbon made from agricultural waste i.e.
coconut husk and that coconut husk is a suitable adsorbent for such an effluent. Maximum adsorption capacity
is a derived from Langmuir isotherm. A series of fixed bed experiments was carried out and the results were
applied to a bed-depth/service time model for column adsorption. The validity of such a model is discussed. In
the removal of organic matter in wastewater effluents from a industry waste water were investigated. The effect
of process variables such as carbonization temperature, carbonization duration and activation temperature on
the production and quality of activated carbon was studied as well as adsorption capacity was studied

Abstract A simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation method for removal of reactive blue-4 is reported here. The mustard stalk activated carbon (MSAC) using Pseudomonas putida MTCC1194 was applied to decolorize reactive blue-4. Batch studies were performed to evaluate the influences of various parameters; initial pH, adsorbent dose, temperature and initial concentration, on removal of reactive blue-4. Optimum conditions for reactive blue -4 removals were found to be pH 7, adsorbent dose10g/l, temperature 32°C at equilibrium time 360 min for 150 mg/l of dye concentration. Experimental data were analyzed by pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order kinetics and intra-particle diffusion model. Equilibrium isotherms for the adsorption of reactive blue 4 onto MSAC were analyzed by Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D-R). The results show that experimental data follow pseudo-second order kinetics and intra-particle diffusion model. Out of four isotherms, Langmuir was found to be best fit with experimental data (R2 > 0.97), with 70.2% removal of reactive blue 4.

Adsorption studies of colourremoval byactivated carbon derived from mangifera...eSAT Journals
Abstract
The removal of colour from silk filature composite wastewater by adsorption on activated carbon prepared from MangiferaIndica
(mango) seed shell have been carried out at room temperature 32 ± 1° C. The removal of colour from silk filature composite
wastewater sample by adsorption on chemical activation (Magnesium chloride) with Impregnation ratio’s (I.R) 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 for
optimum time, optimum dosages and variation of pH was studied. It is observed that as dosage increases the adsorption increased
along with the increase in Impregnation ratio. It was also noted that as I.R. increases the surface area of MangiferaIndica shell
carbon increased. Hence the maximum removal efficiency is obtained at I.R ratio of 0.75. The optimum contact time, dosage and pH
for carbon with I.R-0.75 was 45min, 100mg and 5.5 with removal efficiency of 81.11%, 96.66% and 96.66% respectively.

Removal of fluoride from drinking water by adsorption onto Activated Alumina ...IJERA Editor
The ability of activated alumina and activated carbon to remove Fluoride from aqueous solution has been investigated. The studies were carried out as functions of contact time, concentration and pH. The data indicate that activated alumina surface sites are heterogeneous in nature and that fits into a heterogeneous site binding model. The optimum pH for complete removal of Fluoride from aqueous solution were described. The rate of fluoride removal was rapid during several time intervals of time, and equilibrium was attained were described in detailed.
While trace amounts of fluorine are essential for life, its excessive intake
leads to a disease known as fluorosis. It is a predominant ailment in majority of the
countries inclusive of India. It is caused also by drinking fluoride containing water.
Retention of fluorine in bones and teeth occurs through F−–(OH−) exchange on their
inorganic component known as hydroxylapatite. Endeavour of the present study is to
design a column using activated alumina as an adsorbent for continuous defluoridation
ofwater for domestic purpose. As a part of it, operational defluoridation capacity
of aluminawas determined by variation of different factors (amount of alumina, time,
temperature, added salts). A family of four members was taken as a model. The initial
and final fluoride concentrations were taken as 2.0 and 0.7 ppm, respectively.
Dimension of the unit (adsorbent bed diameter and height) was determined.
Degradation of phenol using sequential batch reactoreSAT Journals
Abstract The paper presents the experimental study on the use of Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) for the degradation of phenol in the synthetic wastewater. SBR was used as a biological treatment for the reduction of COD, which is based on suspended growth system. The garden soil with cow dung was used as the seeding material in SBR, the micro-organisms that are present help in degradation of phenol as well as reducing the COD concentration. The parameters varied in the study were initial concentration of phenol in the synthetic wastewater, aeration rate and hydraulic retention time. The degradation study shows that the maximum phenol removal efficiency is 97% for 200 ppm of initial phenol concentration under 40 ml/min of aeration rate. The COD removal efficiency of 92.3% is achieved for 250 ppm of concentration of phenol. The variation in the aeration rate was found to be very effective in increasing the efficiency of SBR. For 600 ml/min of aeration, the removal efficiency of phenol and COD are respectively, 98% and 75%. But for the aeration rate of 200 ml/min the removal efficiency of COD is as high as 81.25%. Hence, with the increase in the aeration rate, there is an increase in the degradation rate of phenol and decrease in COD reduction. This study demonstrates the utilization of SBR in degrading high concentration of phenol. Keywords: Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR), Phenol, COD, Biological Treatment …
Phycoremediation of malachite green and reduction of physico chemical paramet...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Water is the elixir of life, a precious gift of nature to all the living species on earth. It is rapidly becoming a scare commodity in most parts of the world. Only 0.35% of the total availability of water found in lakes and wetlands and 0.01% in rivers and streams which are likely getting depleted due to the discharge of the effluents such as dyes simultaneously increases the water quality parameters. Malachite green is a common textile dye being discharged in lake water situated near textile industries. The phycoremediation method employs the use of algae, say, Chlorella pyrenoidosa which helps in decolorizing the water and due to its growth in the lake water, the physico-chemical parameters higher in the polluted water found to be reduced and water can be used for various purposes. The trails were made using Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Malachite green at different concentrations. The optimum concentration for the degradation of dye was completely done at the concentration 15 mg confirming the decolorization capacity by Chlorella pyrenoidosa. The same experiment was performed with adjusting the pH at 6, 7 and 8. Optimum pH for the dye degradation was found as pH 7 at which all the concentrations Chlorella pyrenoidosa was able to degrade the dye with the decolourization capacity of above 95%. The phyico-chemical parameters checked after the decolorization by Chlorella were found to be within the limits and thus Chlorella which is available in nature can be used in the decolorization of effluent water by eco-friendly method.

Nano-adsorbent for fluoride removal from drinking waterPranjalSaheb
Fluoride occurs naturally in most water supplies.
Main sources of fluoride in groundwater-
The weathering and leaching of fluorinated minerals.
Industrial wastewater discharges .
With increased human industrial activities, high fluoride-content water has become a widespread problem in the world.
WHO has given a guideline limitation of less than 1.5 mg/L of fluoride in drinking water.
Various industries such as glass and ceramic production, fertilizer and semiconductor manufacturing contribute to fluoride pollution to a large extent. The effluents of these industries may reach to thousands of mg per L, which is higher than natural water.Depending on the concentration and water temperature, the effect of fluoride in drinking water can be beneficial or harmful to mankind. The presence of small quantities of fluoride in ingested water is often considered to have a beneficial effect on human health and helps in the normal mineralization of bones and dental formation.
On the contrary, excessive intake of fluoride leads to osteoporosis, Alzheimers syndrome, skeletal fluorosis, dental fluorosis, cancer, infertility, and thyroid disorder.

Treatment of distilleries and breweries spent wash wastewatereSAT Journals
Abstract The distillery sector is one of the seventeen categories of major polluting industries in India. These units generate large volume of dark brown colored wastewater, which is known as “spent wash”. Liquid wastes from breweries and distilleries possess a characteristically high pollution load and have continued to pose a critical problem of environmental pollution in many countries. The principal pollution effects of the wastewaters of these fermentation industries on a water course are multiple in natures. An attempt has been made to high light the treatment of distillery spent wash by using natural adsorbent. The results obtained herein indicate the feasibility of activated carbon used as an adsorbent for removal of pollutants from distillery spent wash. The results show the significant amount of reduction of pollutants by activated carbon. The study concluded that adsorbent dosage, contact time and effluent dilutions all the three are important parameters affecting the pollutants removal by adsorption.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

1. INTRODUCTION
Water is important life sustaining material for all living
beings. But nowadays, pure drinking water is available to very
few people. Others take more or less contaminated water. The
concept of proving safe drinking water is assuming lot of
concern globally in general and developing and
underdeveloped nations in particular. India being a
developing nation, where the majority of people live in the
villages with bare infrastructural facilities, high degree of
illiteracy and lack of awareness of sanitation and hygiene, the
concept of safe drinking water assumes greater significance.
But most of the rural population depends on ground water
sources for drinking purposes which are contaminated with a
variety of salts and minerals. One among them is the excess
content of fluoride which causes a deleterious impact on the
health of the people. Fluoride has been described as more
toxic than lead and less toxic than arsenic and is considered as
an accumulative toxin. The continuous use of contaminated
water results in dental and skeletal Fluorosis primarily and
many other health effects like gastrointestinal complaints
secondarily. As the “Fluorosis” considered to be an incurable
disease, prevention is the only solution to this problem.Thus,
the studies regarding the defluoridation of water using a
variety of adsorbents gained importance nowadays.
Defluoridation can be done using different techniques viz.,
Reverse Osmosis, Electro dialysis and ion exchange methods.
The Nalgonda technique of defluoridation developed by
NEERI has become popular recently, but it has its own
drawbacks. Several adsorbents are also tried for the
defluoridation activity. Activated Alumina is reported to have
high defluoridation capacity. But most of these techniques
and methods are worked out to be expensive.
1.1 Objectives:
The main objective of the study is removal of fluoride from
the drinking water by chemically activated carbon(calcium
chloride) derived from date palm seeds, to study the physico-
chemical properties of the prepared carbon. Fluoride removal
as a function of contact time, dosage and pH
1.2 Literature Review:
Materials like thermally activated Neem and thermally
activated Kikar leaves(Sunil Kumar1,et al.,2008), Graphite (M
Karthikeyan & K P Elango*,2008), Gulmohar fruit shell(
Pallavi Vijyakumar & S.R.Mise,2008-09), Rice Husk
(Waheed S. Deshmukh,et al,2009), Cynodon Dactylon( G.
Alagumuthu*, et al,2010), Phyllanthus Emblica
(Veeraputhiran V. and Alagumuthu G.*2011), by Multani
Matti and red soil (Gandhi N.1, et al, 2012), Acacia
Auriculiformis scrap wood char (Monal Dutta, et al,2012)
have been used as adsorbents. Activated carbon prepared from
various raw materials exhibits good capacity for removal of
fluoride from drinking water. No reports on use of Phoenix
Dactylifera (Date Plam) seeds have appeared for
defluoridation.
Hence it is aimed in the present work, to study the suitability
of the carbon prepared from Phoenix Dactylifera (Date Plam)
seeds to be used as an adsorbent for the removal of the
Fluorides from the drinking water.

The analysis has been carried out as per the “Standard
Methods”, 20th
edition.
2.2 Methods:
2.2.1 Preparation of Activated Carbon Using Cacl2 as
Activating Agent:
The known quantity of washed and dried Phoenix Dactylifera
(Date Plam) seeds powder was mixed with the activating agent
(CaCl2), in required quantity, depending upon the
impregnation ratio (I.R).
Impregnation ratio (I.R)=
The distilled water was added and boiled on hot plate till most
of the water evaporated and slurry like mixture was retained.
The mixture was oven dried in a clean tray for 24 hours
maintained at 105±5o
C which helps in evaporation of moisture
from the mixture. Preheated carbonizing material was filled in
small container in three layers, by compacting each layer
without any air space. The small container is then placed into
a big container, such that sand surrounded the small container
completely, the lid of the big container was tightly fitted. Pin
hole has been made on the lids of the containers. The
container set-up was kept in Muffle furnace and heated at
steady rate to attain the temperature of 8000
C. The container
was taken out after allowing 10 hours for cooling. Activated
carbon thus prepared was washed with 0.1N HCl to remove
the activating agent, followed by hot distilled water for about
8 times to remove the excess HCl present in the activated
carbon. The activated carbon was dried at 105 ± 5o
C and
packed in polythene bags and kept in desiccators.
2.2.2 Determination of Optimum Contact Time:
The adsorption is strongly influenced by the contact time. To
study the effect of contact time, 100mL of 5mg/L fluoride
solution was mixed with 100mg of activated carbon, stirred at
different contact times varying from (10mins, 20mins, 30mins
up to 120mins). Then filtrate was analyzed for fluoride
concentration by using UV-visible spectrophotometer.
2.2.3 Determination of Optimum Dosage of
Adsorbent:
To determine the optimum dosage of activated carbon of
Phoenix dactylifera (Date Palm) seed, it was added to the
conical flask in different dosages varying from (20mg, 40mg,
60mg up to 180mg), containing known concentration of
fluoride solution 5 mg/L in 100mL. The solution in the conical
flasks was subjected to stirring for optimum contact time,
filtrate is analyzed for residual fluoride concentration using
spectrophotometer.
2.2.4 Determination of Optimum pH on Fluoride:
The extent of adsorption is strongly influenced by the pH at
which adsorption is carried out. The effect of pH on fluoride

adsorption was studied by performing equilibrium adsorption
tests at different initial pH values, i.e. from 2.0 to 9.0. The pH
of solution was adjusted by using 0.1N H2SO4 or 0.1N NaOH.
The activated carbon of Phoenix dactylifera (Date Palm) seed
were mixed and stirred to optimum contact time, filtrate was
analyzed for residual fluoride concentration.The pH at which
maximum fluoride removal forms optimum pH.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The efficiency of removal of Fluoride is studied in terms of:
a) Effect of contact time.
b) Effect of dosage.
c) Effect of pH.
a) Effect of Contact Time:
Contact time has greater influence on the adsorption process.
The effect of contact time on removal of Fluoride from
synthetic sample is shown in Fig 1. It is observed that the
extent of Fluoride adsorption increases with increase in time
and attains equilibrium at particular time. Hence optimum
contact time for all prepared carbons is listed in Table-2.
Fig.1. Effect of contact time on fluoride removal by chemically (CaCl2) activated carbon
b) Effect of Adsorbent Dosage:
Effect of adsorbent dosage is studied and graph of percentage
of Fluoride removal versus dosage is plotted as shown in Fig
2. From the graph it is observed that, as the dosage of carbon
increases, amount of residual fluoride decreases sharply and
attains equilibrium. The dosage, at which maximum removal is
attained, is taken as optimum dosage. Hence optimum dosages
for all prepared carbon are listed in Table-2.

c) Effect of pH on Fluoride Removal :
The extent of adsorption is strongly influenced by pH at which
adsorption is carried out. The pH of the solution as influenced
on extent of adsorption removal effiencies of Fluoride by
prepared activated carbon at different pH values as shown as
in Fig 3 and Table-2.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on the experimental study following conclusions were
drawn:
• The optimum contact time for CaCl2 activated carbon of
I.R’s. 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 are 50, 45, 40 minutes with
removal efficiency of 88%, 91.0% and 93%
respectively.
• The result of experiment on optimization of dosage of
adsorbent reveals that, increase in amount of adsorbent
added, increases the removal of fluoride from the
solution. Optimum dosage for CaCl2 activated carbons
of I.R’s. 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 are180mg, 160mg, 140mg
with removal efficiency of 89.5%, 92.0% and 93.5%
respectively.
• The adsorption of fluoride is mainly pH dependent. The
removal efficiency of adsorbent increases with decrease
in pH value. It has been observed that maximum
adsorption taken place around pH 7.00 for CaCl2
activated carbons of I.R’s. 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 with
removal efficiency of 90.0%, 93.5% and 94.5%
respectively.
