Most of the adsorbent used for removal of fluoride from drinking water is activated carbons. It is an expensive material, and so the use of alternative, which is a cheaper adsorbent, is required. Hence in the present work, an attempt has been made to remove the fluoride in drinking water using corn cobs powder as a natural adsorbent using a fabricated filter. The Bureau of Indian Standard has recommended the limit of fluoride content of 1mg/l (BIS: 10500-2012). The water samples were collected in different places namely Uppinahally, Doddagatta and Yadapura in Arsikere taluk of Hassan district. The defluoridation is done with corn cobs powder and then the results were compared. Filtration with corn cobs powder reduces the fluoride content for the samples from Uppinahally, Doddagatta and Yadapura with initial fluoride content 2.5mg/l, 1.2mg/l, and 1.4mg/l respectively to 1.01mg/l, 0.9mg/l and 0.8mg/l respectively

Fly ash and wood has been separately studied for their adsorption properties. A lot of work has been reported on the adsorption and other construction related uses of fly ash. But a little or no work so far has been reported for the use of fly ash for the treatment of domestic laundry waste water. The present study reports the use of fly ash alone and in combined state in different ratios with wood ash for the treatment of domestic laundry waste water. Effect of various parameters such as combination ratio of fly ash and wood ash, contact time, adsorbent dosage and particle size of adsorbent have been studied. It is found that TSS(total suspended solids) is reduced from 350 ppm to 15-20ppm, total BOD from 250ppm to 10-20 ppm and ph dropped from highly alkaline range to 8.5-9.5 range, reduction of 80% in total soap content, FOG(fats, oils and grease)from visible turbid level to non turbid and clear solution. It is also reported here that for efficient treatment of domestic wash water waste adsorbent dosage of 40g/L is recommended.

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

study of ground water quality of raichur in industrial zone in concernIJAEMSJORNAL
This paper gives the information of the groundwater quality of Raichur industrial area. Different areas were selected for the study and comparison. The parameters studied were temperature, pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, chloride, sulphate, fluoride, total dissolved solids and conductivity. It was observed that there was a minor fluctuation in the physico-chemical parameters among the water samples studied from overall analysis. The groundwater is highly contaminated and account for health hazards for human use from the Comparison of the physico-chemical parameters of the water sample with WHO and ICMR limits.
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.

Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

I. INTRODUCTION
Groundwater is an important source of drinking water and it is estimated that more than 200 million people
worldwide are drinking groundwater with fluoride concentrations greater than the WHO guideline value of
1.5mg/l. The majority of these cases occur in the developing world. Ground waters are much more vulnerable to
fluoride enrichment than surface waters because of the greater impacts of water-rock reactions in aquifers.
Fluoride is one of the very few chemicals that have shown to cause significant effects in people through
drinking water. Fluoride is found in all natural waters at some concentration. Sea water typically contains about
1mg/l while rivers and lakes generally exhibit concentrations less than 0.5mg/l. In groundwater’s, however, low
or high concentrations of fluoride can occur, depending on the nature of the rocks and the occurrence of
fluoride-bearing minerals. High fluoride concentrations may therefore be expected in groundwater’s from
calcium-poor aquifers and in areas where fluoride-bearing minerals are common. Fluoride with inadequacy
causes dental carries, while if it is in excess amount (>1mg/l) causes dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis
which has no cure. Since fluorosis is an irreversible process, prevention of this is the only solution to protect
against diseases. This can achieve by adopting defluoridation method by simple techniques.
II. DEFLUORIDATION TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS
DEFLUORIDATION TECHNIQUES
Basically there are two methods for removal of excess amount of fluoride present in water, namely, flocculation
and adsorption. Flocculation technique includes addition of chemical agents to precipitate the excess fluoride
content present in water. In adsorption technique involves the adsorption of fluoride ions using activated agents
such as activated alumina, activated carbon, bone char etc. Since these active agents are costlier, alternative
adsorbents such as corn cobs, crushed tamarind seed, laterite soil, moringa olifera etc., can also be used. In this
present study corn cob are used as adsorbing agent.
Materials Used
Corn Cob: Corn is a major crop plant, every part of which is utilized except cob. A corn cob is the central core
of an ear of maize. It is the part of the ear on which kernels grow. The ear is also considered as a “cob” or “pole”
but it is not fully a “pole” until the ear is shucked, or removed from the plant material around the ear. The inner
most part of the cob is white and has a consistency similar to foam plastic. In this study an attempt is made to
utilize this less- utilized plant part to clean one of the most precious natural resources, water.
Uses of corn cobs;
Industrial source of the chemical furfural
Fiber in fodder for ruminant livestock
Bedding for animals- cobs absorbs moisture and provide a compliant surface
Raw material for bowls of corn cob pipes

Advantages of Corn cobs:
Simple and Efficient
Cost effective and Feasible
Eco – friendly and locally available
Porous and reusable

Fig 1(a) (b) (c) shows corn, corn cobs, corn cobs powder
Sand: Sand is the loose granular material which is formed due to the disintegration of rocks. The composition of
sand varies, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in
inland continental settings and non-tropical coastal settings is silica, usually in the form of quartz. The second
most common type of sand is calcium carbonate.
Sand filters are mainly used for water purification for treating the raw water. While using sand as a filter media,
two important things are to be kept in mind: sand grain size and sand bed depth.
Fabricated filter: the filter was fabricated as per requirement using locally available materials
A stainless steel household filter was procured and fabricated as per requirements
IS sieves of appropriate sizes are provided
IS sieve of size 63micron is provided at the primary course of filter media, in which micronized corn cobs
powder is placed

Sampling from Arsikere Taluk:
Water sampling and analysis involves the collection of water samples and measurement for chemical, physical
and biological characteristics to determine its quality. According to the information given by the local people,
samples from borewells of Arsikere Taluk were taken for the analysis. First sampling of about six liters of water
was collected from Uppinahally, Doddagatta and Yadapura of Arsikere Taluk. Second sampling of about four
liters of water was collected from each place mentioned above.
Tests conducted on water samples:
The water samples collected were analyzed in laboratory for the parameters such as fluorides, acidity, alkalinity,
chlorides, dissolved oxygen, hardness, pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids.
IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The experiment was conducted with an aim to find the optimum removal of fluoride with corn cobs powder and
the results are compared with Bureau of Indian Standards: 10500-2012. The physical and chemical parameters
are tested before filtration. From the results we came to know that the three samples viz., Uppinahally,
Doddagatta and Yadapura, fluoride content exceeded the desirable limit (1mg/l) and hence treatment is required.
Therefore the water samples were passed through corn cobs powder and the fluoride content has been reduced
below 1mg/l and hence it is safe for drinking.
Fig.2 shows that the fluoride content is above desirable limit for the samples before filtration which requires
treatment. After the filtration process the fluoride content has decreased considerably. Fig.3 shows that the
acidic content in waster is within the limit. Hence no any treatment is required. High acidity in water may results
in foul-tasting in water and low pH values generally have few health effects. Fig.4 shows that the alkalinity is
within the limits for all the samples before and after filtration. Hence no further treatment is required for the
samples. Fig.5 shows that the sample 1 has the chloride content more than the desirable limit, both before
and after filtration. For sample 2 and 3, the content increased after the filtration. If the contents exceeds more
than the limit, it can results in high blood pressure, salty taste, corroded pips, fixtures and appliances, blackening
and pitting of stainless steel. Fig.6 shows that the hardness has exceeded the desirable limit for all the samples
both before and after filtration. Fig.7 shows that the pH of all the three samples is within the limit. Hence no any
further treatment is required and the samples are safe. Fig.8 shows that the conductivity of all the three samples
is within the limit. Hence no any further treatment is required and the samples are safe. Fig.9 shows that the
TDS value is above the desirable limit. It can be removed by reverse osmosis or distillation. Fig.10 shows that
turbidity has increased after filtration. If it is increased over the limit, the water will be aesthetically
unappealing, and promote growth of pathogens. This type of water can be treated by filtration process.

V. CONCLUSIONS
The results show that the samples from Uppinahally, Doddagatta and Yadapur, have fluoride content more than
the desirable limits, so it is processed under filtration to reduce fluoride content. Usage of corn cob powder
efficiently reduced fluoride content; hence the natural low cost adsorbent can be used fruitfully for the removal
of fluoride over wide range of concentration. The parameters like chlorides, hardness, and TDS has increased
than the desirable limit which requires further treatments like distillation, softening, reverse osmosis etc for their
further use as safe drinking purposes.
