This document describes an eco-friendly water treatment system called Eco-Logical Water Treatment. It consists of a pre-treatment tank that uses a product called Super Catalyst to reduce pollutants like nitrates, heavy metals, and pathogens. The water then flows to an Eco-Logical Filter, which is a planted biological filter that further treats the water using natural processes and produces clean drinking water. The system is low-cost, requires no chemicals or electricity, and maintains itself biologically while converting pollutants into resources and harvesting useful plants. It provides an ecological approach to water treatment that can handle various sources of water, including sewage.
Bioleaching, or microbial ore leaching, is a process used to extract metals from their ores using bacterial micro-organisms.
The bacteria feed on nutrients in the minerals, causing the metal to separate from its ore.

Wastewater
There are two broad categories of waste water on the basis of their origin. They includes sewage and industrial effluent.
Sewage is waste water generated from residential areas like community whereas industrial effluent is waste water generated from various industries.
Domestic sewage and industrial effluent differ in their composition and nature of pollutant. For example, microorganisms and organic matter are main pollutant in sewage whereas various toxic chemicals are main pollutants in industrial effluent.
I. Industrial effluent:
Waste water generated from various industries is called industrial effluent.
In general various toxic chemicals alike acid, alkali, coloring agents etc are main pollutants. Microorganisms and organic matters are usually lower in industrial effluent.
Actual composition and characteristics of industrial effluent depends on type of industry and nature of raw materials of industry.
Pollutants in industries are generated during processing of raw materials and manufacturing of products.
“Study The Different Parameters of Sewage Treatment With UASB & SBR Technolog...IOSR Journals
Abstract: Every community produces both liquid and solid wastes and air emissions. The liquid wastewastewater-is
essentially the water supply of the community after it has been used in a variety of applications.
From the standpoint of sources of generation, wastewater may be defined as a combination of the liquid or
water-carried wastes removed from residences, institutions, commercial and industrial establishments, together
with such groundwater, surfacewater and stromwater as may be present. This waste water through sewer comes
to the sewage treatment plant so that parameters are reduced and treated wastewater be disposed into water or
land. For treating the sewage UASB( UP FLOW ANAEROBIC SLUDGE BLANKET) and SBR(SEQUENCING
BATCH REACTOR) technologies are mostly used.
All the parameters of these samples were analyzed using standard methods prescribed in “Standard methods for
examination of water and wastewater”. It was observed that pH & temperature values at outlet by both the
processes are almost same. Reading were taking on two consecutive days and value of Biochemical Oxygen
Demand by UASB process was 32, 32mg/l and by SBR process was 11, 16mg/l. Chemical oxygen Demand by
UASB process was 112, 96mg/l and by SBR process was 32, 34mg/l. Total Suspended Solids by UASB process
was 58, 44mg/l and by SBR process was 10, 12mg/l. Both the processes were used for treating the wastewater
and the SBR process showed better results as comparative to UASB.

solvents, separation agents, etc.) should be made unnecessary
wherever possible and innocuous when used.
Design for Energy Efficiency: Energy requirements of chemical
processes should be recognized for their environmental and economic
impacts and should be minimized. If possible, synthetic methods
should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure.
Use of Renewable Feed stocks: A raw material or feedstock should
be renewable rather than depleting whenever technically and
economically practicable.
Reduce Derivatives: Unnecessary derivatization (use of blocking
groups, protection/ deprotection, temporary modification of physical/
chemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible,
because such steps require additional reagents and can generate
waste.
Catalysis: Catalytic reagents (as selective as possible) are superior to
stoichiometric reagents.
Design for Degradation: Chemical products should be designed so
that at the end of their function they break down into innocuous
degradation products and do not persist in the environment.
Real-time analysis for Pollution Prevention: Analytical methodologies
need to be further developed to allow for real-time, in-process
monitoring and control prior to the formation of hazardous substances.
Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention: Substances and
the form of a substance used in a chemical process should be chosen
to minimize the potential for chemical accidents, including releases,
explosions, and fires.[8]
Green chemistry in day-to-day life
Green Dry Cleaning of Clothes: Perchloroethylene (PERC) is commonly
being used as a solvent for dry cleaning. It is now known that PERC
which contaminates ground water and is a suspected carcinogen.
A technology, known as Micell technology developed by Joseph De
Simons, Timothy Romark, and James McClain made use of liquid CO2
and a surfactant for dry cleaning clothes, thereby replacing PERC. Dry
cleaning machines have now been developed using this technique.
Micell Technology has also evolved a metal cleaning system that uses
CO2 and a surfactant thereby eliminating the need of halogenated
solvents. [9]
Versatile Bleaching Agents: It is common knowledge that paper is
manufactured from wood (which contains about 70% polysaccharides
and about 30% lignin). For good quality paper, the lignin must be
completely removed. Initially, lignin is removed by placing small
chipped pieces wood into a bath of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and
sodium sulphide (Na2S). By this process about 80-90% of lignin is
decomposed. The remaining lignin was so far removed through
reaction with chlorine gas (Cl2). The use of chlorine removes all the
lignin (to give good quality white paper) but causes environmental
problems. Chlorine also reacts with aromatic rings of the lignin to
produce dioxins, such as 2,3,4-tetrachloropdioxin and chlorinated
furans. These compounds are potential carcinogen olvents
Introduction
The term “Green Chemistry”
Role of green chemistry in synthesis of drugs and chemicals to make ecofriendly
Microwave synthesis: Microwave assisted organic synthesis has revolutionized organic synthesis. Small molecules can be built in a fraction of the time required by classical thermal methods. As a result, this technique has rapidly gained acceptance as a valuable tool for accelerating drug discovery and development processes. A microwave is a form of electromagnetic energy, which falls at the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum and is defined in a measurement of frequency as 300 to 300,000 Megahertz, corresponding to wavelengths of 1 cm to 1 m1. The microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum lies between infrared and radio frequencies. [15, 16] Historically, chemists thought that compounds react only in the liquid state or if dissolved.
[17] This has made solvents common in chemical syntheses, however, many compounds used as solvents were found to be environmentally unfriendly. The problem associated with waste disposal of solvents has been overcome by performing reactions without a solvent under microwave irradiation (MWI). [18] Coupling of MWI with the use of mineral-supported catalyzed reactions, under solvent-free conditions, provides clean chemical processes with the advantage of enhanced reaction rates, higher yields, greater selectivity, and greater ease of
manipulation. These expeditious and solvent-free approaches involve the exposure of neat reactants to MWI in conjunction with the use of supported reagents or catalysts. [19]
Dry media reactions in organic synthesis by microwave -Avoiding organic solvents during the reactions in organic synthesis leads to a clean, efficient, and economical technology (green chemistry). There is an increasing interest in the use of environmentally benign reagents and procedures. Or, in other words, the absence of solvents coupled with the high yields and short reaction times often associated with reactions of this type make these procedures very attractive for synthesis. In the present discussion, we describe the advantages of dry reaction techniques coupled with microwave activation and their applications to organic synthesis using solid supports. The practical dimension to the microwave heating protocols has been added by accomplishing reactions on solid supports under solvent-free conditions. [20] These solvent-free microwave-assisted reactions [21] provide an opportunity to work with open vessels, thus avoiding the risk of high-pressure development and increasing the potential of such reactions to upscale. The practical feasibility of microwave-assisted solvent-free synthesis has been demonstrated in various useful transformations [22, 23] and in synthesis of heterocyclic systems. [24, 25]

New Govt. Guidelines about the use of RO need your attention. Due to the huge amount of water waste, you need to find alternatives for RO. How KITZ Micro filter exactly replaces RO while maintaining its task as the best water purifier for municipal water.
The word “cosmetics” comes from the Greek word kosmetikos meaning “skilled in adornment/decoration”. The way people wear makeup and the reasons why they wear it have changed dramatically over time and through different cultures.
2. Design of Nature
• Groundwater: low TDS, low microbial load
• Rainwater: Low TDS, but has nitrates due to air
pollution
• Rainwater can percolate into the ground only after
nitrates are utilized by the plants.
• Nitrates breed slimy bacteria that seal the soil.
• Leads to water accumulation, mosquito breeding.
• Both mosquitoes and plants need nitrates, we
have a choice.
• Pests need small levels of wasted nitrates,
pathogens come at high levels of wasted nitrates.
3. Modern Scenario
