This document discusses sources of salinity in seawater. It explains that rivers introduce dissolved salts to the oceans through chemical weathering of rocks on land. The annual river input of dissolved materials to the oceans is approximately 2.5-4×1015 grams. However, the overall salinity of seawater has remained around 35 parts per thousand despite regular salt inputs from rivers. This is due to the balance between salt inputs (sources) and outputs (sinks) through processes like evaporation and precipitation, maintaining a steady state equilibrium in ocean salinity over billions of years.
Hydrogen has many potential industrial applications but faces challenges in production, storage, and safety. It is primarily produced through steam methane reforming, which accounts for 48% of global hydrogen. Other methods include electrolysis and gasification of fossil fuels or biomass. Hydrogen is used in various industrial processes but storage remains an issue due to its low density. Further development is needed to establish hydrogen as a sustainable energy carrier.
1) Gas hydrates are solid mixtures of natural gas and water that trap gas molecules in ice lattices, containing up to 180 times as much gas by volume as under standard conditions.
2) Global estimates indicate there is over 700,000 Tcf of methane trapped in gas hydrates, twice as much carbon as in all other fossil fuels combined, representing a potential future energy source.
3) Release of methane from destabilized gas hydrates could significantly impact climate change due to methane's high global warming potential, and the breakdown of hydrates may also trigger submarine landslides.
Properties of Hydrogen, production and application of hydrogen, thermochemical methods, fossil fuel methods, solar methods, storage & transportation, safety & management.
The document discusses acid mine drainage (AMD), its causes, impacts, and remedial measures. AMD results from chemical reactions between oxygen, water and metal sulfides exposed during mining. This produces sulfuric acid and dissolves metals, polluting water resources. Common remedial measures include lime neutralization to raise pH and precipitate metals, wetlands to facilitate oxidation and precipitation, and preventing air and water from contacting sulfide materials. The best approach is prevention through proper mining reclamation techniques. A case study describes an unsuccessful AMD treatment pilot project using anaerobic compost wetlands in Colorado.
This document summarizes a seminar presentation on gas hydrates. It defines gas hydrates as crystalline solids composed of water and gas molecules trapped in water cavities. Gas hydrates form under conditions of low temperature and high pressure in marine sediments and arctic permafrost. They contain vast quantities of methane globally and production methods include depressurization, thermal stimulation, and injecting carbon dioxide or inhibitors. The document outlines the occurrence, structure, and formation of gas hydrates as well as production techniques and their potential role as a future energy source and in climate change.
Power plant chemistry external water treatmentumar farooq
The document provides information about power plant chemistry and external water treatment. It discusses basic chemistry concepts, water chemistry, types of hardness, and external water treatment methods like softening, demineralization, and desalination. It also covers a marine ecology survey conducted by a WSP auditor at Shuaibah Sea that observed fish and algae but no live hard coral near the outfall pipe due to turbid water from the plant.
The carbon cycle involves the movement of carbon between different reservoirs on Earth, including the atmosphere, oceans, biosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere. Carbon moves between these reservoirs through both fast and slow carbon cycles. The fast carbon cycle involves the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and biosphere through photosynthesis and respiration, while the slow carbon cycle moves carbon between the atmosphere, oceans, and lithosphere over geological timescales through chemical weathering, sediment formation, and volcanism. Key aspects of the carbon cycle include the solubility pump, biological pump, and carbonate pump, which transfer carbon from surface waters to the deep ocean and sediments, lowering atmospheric CO2 levels.
Lakes contain dissolved gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulphide, and methane. The amounts and distributions of these gases depend on factors such as precipitation, temperature, water movement, and chemical reactions. Oxygen and carbon dioxide levels indicate biological activity, entering water through diffusion, photosynthesis, and the decomposition of organic matter. The solubility of gases decreases with increasing temperature and pressure.
Water Pollution
Water pollution occurs in many different forms, is produced in a variety of ways, and has a range of effects on the biological and physical environment. Consider some common examples:
A river dashing down a steep mountainside cuts into its rocky bed and carries away sand, silt, and pebbles. When the river reaches flat ground, it deposits these materials on the river bottom.
A farmer spreads herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizer on her land, knowing the increase in crop value this practice will produce. During the next rain, some of those chemicals are washed away into the nearest lake, where they remain suspended for weeks or months.
A small crack develops in an underwater pipe that carries oil from an offshore drilling rig to a holding tank on land. Crude oil seeps out of the crack and into the ocean, where marine plants and animals are exposed to its toxic effects.
The ocean absorbs about one-third of carbon dioxide emissions from human activities. This uptake benefits society by slowing climate change but causes ocean acidification as CO2 reacts with seawater. Ocean acidification threatens marine organisms that build shells and skeletons, and could disrupt marine food webs and ecosystems. Future projections estimate the oceans will become 150% more acidic by 2100 if emissions continue unabated, reaching levels not seen for over 20 million years. Strengthening the science of ocean acidification impacts is urgently needed to inform decision making.

Bio hydrogen production from waste materialsappurajan
This document discusses various methods for producing hydrogen gas including electrolysis of water, steam reforming of hydrocarbons, auto-thermal processes, and biological processes. It provides details on the mechanisms, requirements, advantages and limitations of each method. Electrolysis of water produces hydrogen through the use of electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. Steam reforming and auto-thermal reforming use heat and catalysts to produce hydrogen from methane or other hydrocarbons. Biological methods use microorganisms and organic materials to product hydrogen through photosynthesis or fermentation.
Gas hydrates are solid mixtures of natural gas and water that form under conditions of low temperature and high pressure. They contain methane trapped within a crystalline structure of water and occur in ocean sediments and polar regions. If tapped, gas hydrates could become a substantial future energy resource, as the worldwide volume of methane trapped in hydrates is estimated to be at least twice that of all other fossil fuels combined. However, current production techniques for recovering methane from hydrates have limitations. The document proposes an alternative technique using microwave heating and fluorine injection to promote chemical reactions that convert the methane for easier extraction. While challenges remain, gas hydrates represent an enormous source of natural gas if technical and economic hurdles to their exploitation can be overcome

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

2. What is sea water ?
• Seawater is the water that makes up the
oceans and seas, covering more than 70
percent of Earth's surface.
3. Properties of sea water
• Seawater is a complex mixture of 96.5 percent water, 2.5
percent salts, and smaller amounts of other substances,
• Including dissolved inorganic and organic materials,
particulates, and a few atmospheric gases.
4. • Salt in the sea comes from two sources:
• Runoff water from the land.
• Rocks on land are the major source of salts
dissolved in seawater.
Why sea water is salty ?
5. • Rainwater that falls on land is slightly acidic,
so it erodes rocks. ...
• Sea water seeps into cracks in the seafloor
and is heated by magma from the Earth’s
core.
Why sea water is salty ?
6. How much of the sea water is salty?
3.5%
• The concentration of salt in seawater is
about 3.5% of the weight of seawater comes
from the dissolved salts.
7. What is the PH of sea water ?
8.2
• Sea water is normally slightly basic, with a
surface-water pH of about 8.2,
• but that has declined in recent years to about
8.1
8. Why is the pH of seawater 8?
• pH is sea water is 8-1 to 8.2.
• It is because of ionic strength.
9. Ions present in salt water
• chloride (Cl−),
• sodium (Na+),
• sulfate(SO2
4
−),
• magnesium (Mg2+),
• calcium(Ca2+),
• potassium (K+)
• These ions make up about 99 percent of all sea
salts.
10. Sea water be used as a fuel?
• A team of scientists from the Indian Institute
of Technology (IIT) Madras have devised a
way to generate hydrogen fuel by using
seawater, which is most abundant.
• The technology can generate hydrogen can
be a good source of energy for the future.
11. What fuel comes from sea water?
• Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research
Laboratory have demonstrated the ability to
recover carbon dioxide and hydrogen from
seawater and turn it into a liquid
hydrocarbon fuel—the kind of stuff that can
power a jet engine.
12. Reaction involves in the conversation of sea water
into fuel
• Reaction involved in the conversion of
seawater into fuel.
• They convert the Co2 into Co via the reverse
water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction.
13. Reaction involves in the conversation of sea water
into fuel
• The carbon monoxide can then be converted
into liquid hydrocarbons via Fischer Tropshc
synthesis.
15. • REVERSE WATER GAS SHIFT REACTION
• The water-gas shift reaction describes the
reaction of carbon monoxide and water
vapor to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
• CO + H₂O ⇌ CO₂ + H₂
What is RWGS reaction?
16. • The water gas shift reaction was discovered
by Italian physicist Felice Fontana in 1780.
• It was not until much later that the industrial
value of this reaction was realized
What is RWGS reaction?
17. • Converting Co2 to hydrocarbons requires two
reactions.
• First, Co2 is converted into Co via the reverse
water-gas shift reaction
•
• For example,
Co2 + H₂ + catalyst, Co+ H₂O.
RWGS reaction
18. • Next, using a second catalyst, the Co produced can
be hydrogenated via the Fischer-Tropsch process
to hydrocarbons,
• For example,
Co + (2n + 1)H₂ + catalyst2 CnH2n+2 + H2O.
See also: FischerTropsch process.
RWGS reaction
19. RWGS reaction
• Depending on the reactions condition The
equilibrium of the water gas shift reaction can be
pushed either forward and reverse Reaction.
• The reversibility of the WGSR is important in the
production of ammonium , methonal & Fischer
Trposch synthesis, where the H2/Co ratio is in
critical condition.
21. • The Fischer–Tropsch process is a collection of
chemical reactions that converts a mixture of
carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid
hydrocarbons..
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
22. • These reactions occur in the presence of
metal catalysts, typically at temperatures of
150–300 °C and pressures of one to several
tens of atmospheres.
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
26. Difference between producer & water gas
• The key difference between water gas and
producer gas is that the water gas contains
flammable gases whereas the producer gas
contains both flammable and non-flammable
gases.
• Both water gas and producer gas are mixtures of
several gases. Water gas contains carbon
monoxide and hydrogen gases.
33. Future
• Hydrogen can be a good source of clean
energy for the future as it doesn’t emit
carbon dioxide.
• Combustion of hydrogen does not produce
carbon dioxide, unlike fossil fuels, making it a
'clean' source of energy,
